Bali ..... Here we Come!

This is the day, Bali Here we come …………………!!!! We’ve been booked the place long time ago, the Hotel, the flight everything! Seems that this holiday has been planned very seriously ….. But you know what? This is the first time we going to use LCC (Low Cost Carrier) Air Asia, we have no ticket – just booking confirmation print out from their web. A bit strange for me, since this is the first time we took LCC flight.


Airport Activities before & After boarding

It’s been so stressful knowing that we have to rush to fight about our seats (My God! it's remind me to PPD Bus in Jakarta, you have to rush to go on board and another rush to get an only piece of seat), since this LCC does not has seat number, first come first sit ………, but then we know that we can buy an Express Boarding for Rp. 55.000 / persons for round-trip ticket just to make us avoid the crowds and get the priority to claim our seat before the others boarding. So, we decided to purchase that facility. Not bad, we do not have to fight about the others to claim our seats. Suddenly we become a ‘special’ passengers walking trough the crowd with our nose up high in the air ………


On the fly to Bali ...............


We arrived at Bali at 18:40 local time, straight away to Jimbaran to have dinner that has planned long ago to have romantic dinner by the beach. There’s a several ‘Café’ along the beach, and finally we pick the Caviar Club and here we are ………… Sitting on the dinner table under the sky before the beach, on top of beach sands and make an order, “Oyster Sauce Crab”, “Fried Blue Prawn with Butter”, BBQ Cuttlefish and “plecing” made from water spinach with mix chili & minced Tomatoes.


Seafood a la Caviar Cafe @ Jimbaran Beach ............

The Food is very delicious indeed; it’s more to Fine Dining Dish except for the environment. Frankly speak, I can not remember the restaurant name, but there are lot of them, according to locals, there are use to be more than 60 seafood restaurants but only 23 of them survive. But when the time comes to pay the bill. ……………. My God! It’s a real fine dinning price that we have to pay. I don’t understand, people say that Jimbaran Sea Food is very cheap, but what we got is the other way around, it’s similar price with Jakarta for Fine Dining Sea Food in fancy restaurant, except ………… you will have sea food with your feed step on beach sands.
