The journey to Bali from Cambodia took almost a whole day as we had 2 flights one from Cambodia to Kuala Lumper then from Kuala Lumper to Bali. Being in Malaysia was a different experience, we even got to try some Malaysian food whilst in the airport which was really yummy! We arrived in Bali (Densepar) and got a taxi to our hotel which was in Seminyak. We booked something a little more expensive than usual (still £10 a night) and it was absolutely amazing, we had properly found luxury!
On our first night we took a stroll around the streets of Seminyak and found a cute little Italian restaurant (which was one of the best pizzas I have ever eaten) just down the road from our hotel. This was perfect for our first night as we were pretty exhausted from all the travelling so we wanted something quiet and quick. After this we headed back to the hotel and had an early night.
Now we only had 1 full day in Seminyak as we felt this was enough because there wasn’t much to do there other than go to the beach. So on our first day we headed straight for the beach. The walk to the beach from our hotel was really lovely as we passed lots of shops that we could look in (not that I needed to buy anymore clothes) and we also passed all the restaurants and bars too. The beach itself was actually different to what I expected in Bali, the sand wasn’t very white and the waves were absolutely huge but that explains the famous surfing that goes on there. We spent a couple of hours at the beach and also had lunch down there.
We made our way back to the hotel later that afternoon, got ready for dinner and headed straight back to the beach to watch the famous sunset on the Seminyak Beach. We managed to secure an excellent seat for the sunset and had a few beers as we watched the sun go down. The sunset was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. The different colours in the sky were amazing and we even managed to get some excellent pictures and a time lapse!
After the beautiful sunset we had dinner on the beach (which wasn’t amazing) and watched some live music with a couple of beers. It was a nice and relaxed evening compared to the crazy few weeks we had just had.
We left Seminyak around midday the following day which gave us enough time to catch our ferry to one of the islands just off Bali. Our first impressions of Bali were definitely extremely different to Vietnam and Cambodia but we definitely loved the chilled vibes the island gave off. We were excited to carry on our adventures in Bali! Next stop … Nusa Penida!!
