We kinda slept in on the last day and finally left our villa to visit the Seminyak beach at about 10 in the morning. We've stayed in Seminyak for 4 days prior to that and never had the time in our schedule to visit Seminyak as by the time we were back from our daytrips, it was already dark.
From our villa, its about 400m walk to Seminyak beach. Although its only 400m, it felt very long due to the extreme heat and humidity. But yes, we could hear the sea waves as we are about to approach the beach. We got even more excited when the sea was within our horizon.
This is the famous Seminyak beach. The sand on the beach is black, so the water will not look as blue as white sand beaches. Here as you can see, an owner bringing her dogs to the beach for some play time.
We came, we saw, and we casted our shadows! (Veni, Vedi, We casted our shadows; I dont know how to translate it to the Roman language).
The water is super duper clean! I'm very happy with what i saw on the beach, hardly any trash in sight (Seminyak is after all, an upmarket beach with mostly villas in this area). The black sand, was super fine which made the beach feel a bit compact, hence you can walk without losing balance here.
Yup, ppl even took their kids on pony rides on the beach. How cool is that?
The tides maybe a bit strong especially during the off peak season, hence, you need to beware of the rip currents that may drag you out to see. Bali is after all, a surfer's paradise, hence the waves will be stronger than other beaches in Malaysia. After our stroll on the beach, we left to look for breakfast, wondering if we could extend our stay by 1 more day so we could just enjoy Seminyak beach...
This brings public toilet to a whole new level =)
We roamed the streets of Seminyak for a final time, while looking around for spa Packages.
Here, nasi padang is quite famous. It's something like our Economy rice / chap fan, back here.
The only difference is that they stack up all the dishes in a creative manner.
Bike rentals are pretty common among the tourists here. And the Bike designs here trump our M'sian bikes anyday
The very famous Teh Botol in Indonesia. Its just like Teh-O over here but in bottles!
I guess its cheap and more hygienic alternative for those who may have a weak tummy.
As for me? I whack anything that the locals take, hehehe
After our breakfast, we headed back to our villa, for one last dip in the pool as well as just laying down on the sundeck, listening to the birds chirping while looking at the blue skies.
We then checked out of our hotel in the afternoon and headed to the Spa of our choice, where we could kill some time before our flight in the evening. EC took the 4 hours spa package which included Scrub, massage, facial, mani and pedi for something like RM200
I took the 2 hours package which had consists of an hours massage and an hours body scrub. All for less than Rm100! I've never done body scrub before this and I must say, i thoroughly enjoyed my 2 hours. I actually enjoyed laying down in a bathtub full of flower petals and the smoothness of my skin after that ;-p
My sister, had an hours massage and did hair braids on the whole head. and that took about 3 hours to complete.
It was then time for us to head to the airport, and the ride there was complimentary of the villa we rented. We had tonnes of fun and food during our 5 day stay there. It was a beautiful island and I'm sure all of us would like to return again in the future.
By the time we left, we felt we could get used to this balinese lifestyle, heheheh.
We left Bali reluctantly, and with a tinge of sadness.
Boodyboy, out!!
p.s. I did get back and suffered Post Holiday Depression (PHD) the next day, hahahah
