Waking up for the final time in Kuala Lumpur is a great thing when the outlook says A WEEK IN BALI. Our Citin Hotel turned out a decent breakfast, finally a place where I didn’t have to eat cereal from a hamster-sized bowl. Since our flight was in the afternoon we had some time for last minute shopping: it’s become a tradition with us than on the day we leave, we see how much currency we have left after paying all our bills and transport and go try to spend it all. The haul today: two pairs of Alladin pants for me and the missus and some stuff for the house. Our backpacks are getting fatter everyday. The place: Sentral Market, where you can get everything your tourist heart desires. It was fortunate that there was a post office nearby and Krysia made a run to in, otherwise we’d be hand delivering our postcards a month from now.We took a bus directly from Puduraya to the LCC terminal at Kuala Lumpur International. The Low Cost Carrier Terminal is actually quite far from the main terminal, about 15 minutes by bus in case any of you travellers wonder if you’re being taken out into the bushes. It’s actually two airports with two separate runways. The LCCT is very well equipped with restaurants (we finally partook of Malaysian fast food MarryBrown which was basically a chicken join with Malaysian flavors), cafes (including Starbucks), shops, duty free (complete ripoff, prices at twice the Warsaw duty free level) and all the other standard amenities including free Wi-Fi which barely works (as everywhere else in Malaysia).
Although I'm not proud of it, we managed to spend our last ringgits on a box of donuts from Dunkin Donuts. Oh what the hell! We're both losing weight anyways. :)
We took off from this land at 15:45 local time on the next leg of our journey.
Bali. From the start I can just feel being more relaxed. The weather in the evening is a balmy 27 Celsius with just a slightest breeze. I booked a week-long package at Mentari Sanur Hotel which included a two-way airport transfer, so upon collecting our check-in luggage we looked for a guy with a sign. Krysia quickly spotted a guy standing with a sign saying “Mr. Bart & Krysia”. So far, a very good beginning. Jaga, our driver, turned out to be a very friendly fellow, who of course can arrange anything that we could want, from diving to white-water rafting, to a case of discounted beer. And of course if we need a driver during our stay, he’s our man. Of course it’s business, but somehow I got a good feeling about this.
Arriving at our hotel we were greeted with our welcome drink, a glass of mixed tropical juice with a lime decoration. I’m sure that Krysia will post a photo sooner or later. First impression of our hotel: tranquil setting, we have a room right by the pool, coconut palms and other trees growing on premises, geckos running on the walls, frogs jumping on the ground. Jungle paradise. Our room is very nice, maybe a bit run down. Lovely bathroom, HUGE bed (which hopefully means I will not be pushed off of it during the night), a fruit basket. All’s good in paradise.
So nice, we’re just enjoying our evening beer in the restaurant, chilling and updating our blog. Tomorrow: a lazy day. Beach, food, fun.
