Adventures in Bali: Travel Loots

We did not actually shop in Bali except for some pasalubong, food items and souvenirs. Di naman kasi shopping haven doon eh. And kahit na shopping haven pa ang Bali, di rin naman kami mamimili ni hubby since tipid mode pa rin kami. Hehe.

Anyway, here are our travel loots from Bali:

Musical instruments for the Kulilits...

Another musical instrument for my big boy - hubby...

Pinocchio puppet which I plan to display in my kids' room in our new house...

Di rin siyempre mawawala ang ref magnet for my collection...

ABC sauce for my cooking...

And for our pasalubong:

Super bangong lotion...

Assorted biscuits...

Yummy wafer sticks...

Well, yan lang po mga napamili namin. =)

Adventures in Bali: Day 4 + Estimated Travel Cost

It has been exactly one week since we arrived from Bali. Ang bilis ng panahon ano? One week na kaagad ang nakalipas. Parang nung mga nakaraang buwan, pinaghahandaan at inaabangan lang namin yung trip tapos ngayon history na. Bitin nga kami eh. Hehe.

Anyway, yung day 4 namin uwi lang talaga sa Pinas. Nothing special happened. Except for the fact na nabigla kami when we got to the airport dahil we need to pay pa pala for something there. Parang processing fee ata yun. It's around 150,000 Rupiah for each passenger. Eh kulang na ang money ko, buti na lang talaga at meron pang extra Rupiah sila Ai. Well, lesson learned yun sa akin. Kailangan ko muna iresearch kung may mga kailangan bayaran sa airport before I travel. Akala ko kasi sa Pinas lang ang may binabayaran eh. Hehe.

Here are some of the pictures from Kuya Bimbo's camera for our day 4...

Di mawawala ang picture taking inside the airplane...

Adventures in Bali: Day 3

Our day 3 in Bali is actually our free day. Like what I've said before, relax relax lang kami for this day.

I'm expecting to wake up late this time since we have to wait for the Kulilits to wake up. But...but...but... Ang aga nilang nagising! Sabay banat sa akin ni Chris "Mommy, I'm hungry!" So we freshened up a bit then went to the restaurant to eat our breakfast.

Chris

After breakfast, nagbabad na kami sa pool until around 12:00nn. Tirik na tirik ang araw that time kaya ayan nagmukha tuloy akong ulikba. Hehe. Si Ai hindi nag-swim. Ika nga nila Kuya Bimbo, nag-shade bathing siya. Takot kasi araw eh. Hehe!

Pagkatapos namin mag-swim, pahinga lang saglit sa room namin then we went down na to wait for the 2:00pm shuttle going to Bali Collection.

Here we are waiting for the hotel's shuttle service to arrive...

Me and my Kulilit Chris...

Kape't Gatas - Ai & Me...

At Bali Collection, ikot ikot lang kami. Hanggang ikot lang kami hanggang mahilo dahil sa mahal ng mga paninda. Puro signature kasi eh. Haha!

Here are some of our pictures taken around the Bali Collection...

Nice balete tree...

Then we had some gelato...

Then we went to Starbucks to rest and magpalamig. Hehe. Need din kasi mag-Starbucks eh kasi gusto ni Ai every place na mapuntahan niya may picture siya sa Starbucks. =)

At 4:00pm, the shuttle picked us up at Bali Collection then we went to the Nusa Dua beach.

At the beach, hanggang pampang lang kami. May duwagis este KJ kasi kaming kasama eh. Hehe. Pinagbawalan kami mag-swim dahil malakas daw ang alon at baka daw matangay kami. Boo! =(

Ako naman, since wala akong magawa at natural na gala, pumunta ako sa katabing shalang resort at nagpicture picture. Ang ganda! Pero maganda rin ang presyo dahil almost 20K per night ata dito.

The Ayodya Beach Resort...

After going to the beach, we walked na lang going to the restaurant where we are going to eat. At siyempre di mawawala ang picture picture all around...

Then we finally arrived at Ulam Balinese & Seafood Restaurant...

Around the restaurant...

Ai and I checking out the restaurant's menu...

Here are the food that we ordered:

Nasi goreng with assorted satay...

Ayam Satay (chicken)...

Raja Bali platter...

T-bone steak...

 Fries & veggies that came with the T-bone steak...

Here is our group picture (Chris is sleeping)...

After dinner, we went back to the hotel. Iniwan ko lang saglit ang kambal kay hubby because I went out again to buy food for the Kulilits since tulog si Chris during dinner while Ian naman had topaski. Sinamahan ko na rin ang pamimili that night ng konting pasalubong. =) Then when I came back to our room, ako na ang tumoka sa mga Kulilits dahil nag-night swimming sila hubby, Kuya Bimbo and Ai.

That summed up our day 3 in Bali...
