My Bali Experience



I am a person who loves the mountains and nature in general. When my daughter invited me to go with her to Bali, Indonesia I never hesitated, I never has second thoughts. Besides, it was my birthday, so here I go.

She booked a hotel for two at GrandmasHotels.com @ Seminyak in Bali. Seminyak is located Southwest tip of Bali. The location of the hotel is great. Since breakfast is not included in our accommodation, we go out every morning for breakfast. WOW, it is not so difficult to look for restos which cook native Bali Food. Adding to the very sumptuous Bali meal, the price is so cheap and the taste is delicious.

From our hotel, it takes only 2 minutes to walk to the beach. Very convenient. You could smell the sea breeze which is very pristine though the waves are what every surfer loves. NO SWIMMING in these beaches. You can walk along the seashore wetting only half of your body. You can walk on the very fine sand with the very fresh air caressing your cheeks. After your 2 or 3 hour walk, you can walk back to your hotel, have  a change and stroll along the rows and rows of restos where you can choose freshly cooked Bali delicacies. You could each much because your appetite was already activated by the sea breeze.

Shopping also is great. Owners of shops give you very steep prices if they see you are a foreigner. But an Indonesian friend of mine gave me the secret. If they give a price of IR150,000, offer to buy the item at IR75,000. If the owner won't agree, leave immediately. The owner then will call you and give the item at your price. This is the secret that we did and we were able to buy swimsuits which were priced at IR300,000 but we were able to get them at IR100,000. Quality of the items is very good.

My advice, go  on vacation to Bali. Whether you are a sea lover or a mountain lover, you will definitely enjoy there and you will never regret it.
