We were actually starving like hell so we walked out to the street and looked for food. In fact, I had already scanned through when we were on our way to the resort so it didn’t take much of our time before we settled down at one of the hawker stalls nearby. Full varieties of foods were offered there, from local, Asian, to western. It was easy to understand why because most of the tourists here are either Australian, European, Malaysian, or Chinese. For good food sake, we opted for local dishes. I ordered local beer, Bintang for Rp20,000 per large bottle, and my wife, Jean, ordered local styled rice and noodles for Rp25,000 each. That was our first meal in Bali and I would sadly say that the food wasn’t too good. But never mind still, the beer was quite good though and we bottomed up two large bottles with ease. The dinner took us two hours or so … and it was still enjoyable.
After the whole day of rushing, we relaxed and went walking along the beach in front, admiring the night scene, enjoying the silence under the breezing weather. The peak season of Bali is during June to September, where the weather is clear and windy. We chose to come here by end of May just to avoid peak crowd, but the weather is still reasonably good. To our surprise, the sky there was actually extremely clear without any hints of haze effect, unlike other parts of Indonesia, like Sumatra. We decided to walked up back to the nearby streets to explore a little before we headed back to our resort. There are plenty of shops in Kuta from exclusive restaurants, cafes, fast food chains, convenient shops, boutiques, to a shopping complex! I can tell you that the nightlife at Kuta is excellent and it is so happening everywhere! You can easily get drunk on the street. After all, the most important aspect of it, and it will always be one of the top five factors when you choose a holidays destination, I would say you can have peace of mind when you walk about the street. We crawled back to our resort after midnight.
Well, we did not do much in day one but we gathered enough information and arranged a driver for our day trip we going to have on day two. Day trip to where? I can tell you that we managed to cover maximum spots and activities all in one day, and I’m going to tell you that in my next post—day two in Bali. Stay tuned!
