First Night in Bali




After a satisfying meal, we proceeded to our hotel. It started raining. Our hotel was in Ubud which is famous as an arts and crafts hub.

It was pitched black and still raining when we arrived at our accommodation. Exhausted and needing a good shower, we just wanted to retire to our room.

When the door opened.... wah!!  Pretty!


er.... the door latch secured or not?



A lovely pantry. No cooking here.

After exploring the tiny room, I immediately went to take a shower. Scattering the rose petals all over the bed, I slipped under the bedcovers. Lying in bed, I could hear the pitter patter of the rain on the thatched roof ..... and the frogs croaking.... and the "GOAL!" ???


The Liverpool fan found ESPN channel! XYZ!!

    Ecl,
    Would you be able to sleep in a strange bed? A bed that you are not used to?

    stanley,
    No problem for me sleeping in a strange bed or a strange place. Takes a while but I can sleep well.

    I have even slept on the beds where many have died.... in hospitals. :P

    Michael,
    I can listen to the rain beating on my house in Singapore but the different sounds of insects and creatures in the night, not in the city.

    Photo Cache,
    Bali is Paradise! Some parts of it are so breathtaking.

    I'm looking forward to the movie premiere of Eat, Love Pray. I was at the venues where the movie was filmed. Many of the locals are still telling stories of Julia Roberts and the filming of the movie.... So awesome to be at the places where Julia Roberts breathed, sat and ate!
