From Singapore to Indonesia

Today we woke up for the last day in Singapore and headed to the airport right after breakfast.  It was another balmy day and we were looking forward to the cooler weather in the "dry" season of Bali (it is the rainy season in Singapore right now, which is one degree from the equator).  We were flying AirAsia - the budget airline of southeast Asia so we had some luggage shuffling to do, especially since my new rug wasn't exactly light.  It was also wrapped up like 8 kilos of drugs, more on that later. So once we got to the airport and realized that as a group we were over by 10 kg, we had to pay $30 singapore dollars for each kilo over. Interestingly enough we were actually 20.2 kilos over, which would have been the equivalent of $440 of excess baggage, but somehow the wheels werent on the scale and it only showed up as 10kg.  Thank you god of the scales!




Singapore airport is absolutely beautiful, with spacious waiting areas and shopping.  We got some very fancy coffee and headed to our gate.  The bathrooms were over the top, with a built-in bidet and hiny dryer too!  Our carry-ons were limited to 7kg so you can imagine what I looked like wearing my neck pillow, sweatshirt, hat, and fanny pack in case they weighed my backpack.  











Fancy bathroom!

The flight was 3 short hours to Denpasar Airport in Bali, but it took us quite some time to get through customs because of my suspicious package.  I mean, the amount of times I saw “Locked Up Abroad” should have been a red flag when he was wrapping it up yesterday.  So after the extra screening and emptying of luggage, we were on our way to the villa.  It was a 35 minute drive through a bustling city with lots of motorbikes dashing around, but we got here to Anjali Villas in time to hang out for a bit before dinner.  







Our house is awesome, a 3-bedroom with a pool in the courtyard and lounging areas on the first and second floors.  It is a wonderful tropical getaway!  We have our own chef, Suchi, who made a wonderful chicken curry and rice dinner with fried bananas for dessert.  Cheers to finally making it here after so long!  I will definitely be in the pool every day that we are here, it is the most relaxing place in the house!  Getting up early tomorrow for our tour of South Bali so I will cut it short for today. 












Words of the day-

An Elephant, A Waterfall, and a Silver Queen

Today we got up at a reasonable hour for our french braid party before we headed out on our animal adventure.  I had wanted to ride an elephant when we booked this trip and today was the day.  To be honest, it was a little less enjoyable for me because we were not in the wild with the elephants, but it was still cool to be around such majestic creatures.  The Bali zoo is super small but very cool in that most of the animals are not in cages at all.  There were gibbons and orangutans flying around, and we were greeted by a wallaby just chillin by the entrance.  I dont want to get into a full discussion about zoos, animals in captivity, and the philosophy of animal conservation, but let's just say that it was cool to see crocodiles, toucans, ostrich, and other animals up close.  They seemed very comfortable with humans, but the humans there also seemed very respectful of the animals.  Our elephant experience involved us walking around on a seat on the el...

The day that started at 1am - Summit of Mount Batur

Image
Yesterday was our first chill day - sleep in, pool time, shopping, spa, dinner, bed.  And a very quick sequence there because we set our alarms for 1:00am!  So, after 5 hours of sleep, we headed out to meet our driver for our sunrise hike to Mount Batur.  The mountain is in the center of the island, and it is super popular to hike up it to see the sunrise.  We drove the 90 minutes to the base camp they had set up and it was this bustling little village with guides and cooks and hikers.  They fed us banana crepes and offered us a bathroom with a gravity flush toilet (i.e. you dump buckets of water in the toilet to flush it), and then we headed up to the place where you start walking.   The first part was difficult, but it was on a paved road.  We were super out of breath but at least we had our footing.  The vertical rise was about 1700 feet but the summit was only at 5633 feet so altitude wasn't really an issue, it was the steepness.  Mo...

The Singapore Sling

 So jet lag wasn’t horrible… just woke up at 5am but I think should be good by tonight. We started today with coffee and avocado toast at Toledo’s Espresso Nook… my coffee drinker friends are raving about Copi coffee… but I’m in it for the boba. Our journey today took us down Arab Street- which is exactly what you would expect… a walking street filled with Arab shops and restaurants. And once we got started, I wanted one of everything. The colors and patterns and textures were so amazing. I ended up spending a long time just looking at Persian rugs… the detail, the design and the intricacies. Some were silk and just felt amazing. Amir and Ibrahim were the shopkeepers and Carolyn, my favorite bargaineer, helped me out on that front. We told Amir we would be back later and headed to the next shop where they sold fabrics and clothes and bought some beach wear for Bali. Pashminas were everywhere and also these gorgeous lamps and light fixtures that Liz ended up coming back to buy....
