We are waiting for you in Bali
Happiness that there is an island of Bali and 2 weeks of vacation. It’s bad that the island is far away, and 2 weeks of vacation is very little.
Winter, which lasts in St. Petersburg all 9 months with varying degrees of cold, slush, rain and wind, and in constant darkness, is a dubious pleasure even for a person who has lived here all his life. An hour - to work - an hour - from work, at home - cleaning, cooking, shopping - any woman knows how this funnel drags on, and if we add to this the lack of desire to desire something, then the picture is clear. I would never have gone so far myself if my daughter hadn’t ordered tickets and justified that in February it’s more like there’s nowhere else to go from Russia on a holiday.
So, on February 5, we went to Pulkovo, in order to land on February 6 in Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia. Time with all transfers is a day. Cost $1.000 round trip, Emirates.
As a person responsible for work, a cat and other things, I was very worried about everything ...The anxiety ended with turning off the phone on the plane. And, by God, in 2 weeks. Nothing terrible happened - no one was hurt, the cat, if he lost weight, then it’s only good for him ...This is what I mean - if you are very tired and don’t want anything, if you can’t leave work and let your colleagues down, if You want to sleep all the time and you are tired of everything - just go to the Sindbad website. ru and order your tickets, and then write to http://bali. trueexplore. en
and you will be happy.
The flight was excellent, thank you EMIRATES. There all the time they either fed or watered, then fed and watered again. You can watch movies even in Russian, even in English. German and so on, listen to music, follow the flight or play games. 4 hours of waiting for a flight to Dubai is nothing at all. We just managed to find our gate and take a look around. Then a transfer in Jakarta.
And 2 more hours and we are in Denpasar.
From the moment we were met by young beautiful and positive guys from http://bali. trueexplore. ru I generally stopped thinking and worrying about something.
We stayed in a small hotel in Sanur. There were no compatriots besides us. A cozy room where you want to return home. A small pool in which swimming at night is not prohibited a small cafe in the cat. They will serve a simple breakfast (but still a choice - eggs this way and that, or croissants, or pancakes. Or porridge with milk). I saw that many Europeans drank their coffee or ate their muesli at breakfast. Also a way out, by the way, if anyone does not like local coffee or local muesli.
We didn't notice any time difference. We were at the hotel at about 12 midnight local time, while we settled in, while we celebrated our arrival, while we swam, then fell asleep and woke up exactly at 6.00. And there's still an hour and a half before breakfast.
There were three of us - me, my husband, my girlfriend, whose husband never got out of the routine and occupied two double rooms on the 2nd floor. If you suddenly freeze in the room from the air conditioner, you can always go to the spacious balcony to warm up. Everything was just the way I like it.
I drowned in this endless peace and harmony. It's hard to put into words.
During the day we rested and explored the surroundings. The next day we were taken into circulation and taken to get acquainted with the island for 3 days. It was what they show on TV in the TRAVEL program. TV. Only I didn’t think that it was so great and that energy flows into you with every minute and a new picture outside the car window. We drove to the north of the island, stopping at places where we should have stopped. On different beaches, in different temples, in forests and waterfalls, in cafes and on plantations. Considering that the island itself is small, and the air conditioner is working in the car, the trip was a joy, and it was impossible to fall asleep from the impressions.
For, among other things, a tropical downpour found us in the water, admiring the stars and glowing plankton (after dinner, of course). We fell asleep immediately and slept 6 hours before breakfast. The hotel was beautiful, and the morning on its small beaches is absolutely amazing. Breakfast by the water and into the ocean - look at the fish and enjoy the beautiful, clean and calm ocean. The fish were also beautiful in the morning, they shimmered in different colors, they were not afraid of anyone and swam according to their schedule at a shallow depth (I was waist-deep). Their diversity and splendor plunged me into aesthetic shock. It should be noted that earlier, at the sight of a seahorse in the sea, I lost consciousness and ceased to stay on the water. Here, the world turned upside down and I swam even in a mask and fins.
There were also delicious fish and shrimp, beer and massage, fooling around in the water, trying to climb a rock from the ocean, torn knees like in childhood and many, many things that I want to remember ...
Despite the fact that in our understanding we did not sunbathe, we still burned out. In the water, on the street, etc. - you need to close yourself from the tropical sun. Even our ears burned out, which I did not expect at all. Therefore, hats (namely hats, not baseball caps - for, attention, ears) are our everything. That is, immediately upon arrival, to the store, for hats, of which there are a great many, of different sizes, styles and prices. Bargain and get sun protection for 100 rubles. And yet, you will bring with you, say, 2 swimsuits. This is not enough. For high humidity and overnight they will not have time to dry. If you're in Sanur, there's a lovely (boutique-like) swimwear shop across from Hardy's supermarket. Very good quality for reasonable money.
45 (20+25) dollars for a swimsuit, consisting of a separate top and bottom (several styles and you can choose the size), and 85 dollars for a full swimsuit from the latest collection (looks more expensive than it costs. ).
And yes - small shops, behind beautiful glass doors, with air conditioning and a small amount of author's things in the halls, giving the impression of very expensive ones - this is a charm. There you will be able to find an exclusive thing, which will be immediately adjusted to your figure and then brought to the reception. So I bought trousers for 600 native rubles. And more pants, and more blouse, and more jewelry. And another silver ring. And it all looks more expensive than it's worth. Even I liked the process of shopping and there was a desire to want and live.
As for food. Breakfast was included but you can always add more. There are many cafes on the embankment, where by the ocean you will be fed at least American, at least English, at least European breakfast for 100 rubles.
Something like this - coffee in a coffee pot, milk in a milk jug, scrambled eggs from 2 eggs, 2 small sausages, 2 huge black bread toasts (! ), jam, butter, natural juice and fruit salad (papaya, banana, watermelon, melon - a little ). That is, if you had breakfast at the hotel at 7.30 and were hungry by 10, please. I admit the idea that places where it is tasty and inexpensive need to be known in advance. We were shown everything and suggested by our friends from http://bali. trueexplore. en
A separate item is about massages with SPA procedures. It is very important. Let's say you came back from an excursion yesterday, today you were already on the beach, swimming, going to a cafe, drinking juice, and before dinner, GO-GO. That's where? At the spa. You can go to the one opposite, you can walk and choose the one that looks prettier, you can go around everything and in the evening study the price lists of all the surrounding salons and find out that NEVER, you hear, NEVER and ANYWHERE you will get such pleasure for such money. This is what I mean by rest.
You can have a general massage, you can massage with hot stones, you can massage only the legs, or only the face, you can massage the head. Each lasts for 1 hour, some procedures are longer. Somewhere massage is done by 2 girls, somewhere one. But still you get complete pleasure and relaxation. The most expensive massage cost around 240 rubles, and so - 150-180. Massage on the beach 180 rubles. All salons are different, try and go where you like. Or go where the knowledgeable people will advise you. By the way, my husband, a normal Russian man (106 kg before and 103 kg after rest), felt great first on all types of massage, and then on manicure and pedicure (by the way, for local men, this is a completely normal procedure, how to cut their hair. For example ). For many years I could not persuade him to these, in general, harmless procedures.
By the way.
You can order a whole package of services for yourself, choosing, for example, for 1000 rubles a set of massage, manicure, pedicure, aroma bath or something else. And then within 3-4 hours you will feel like a queen, and fairies will flutter around you - to cajole, knead, moisturize and generally contribute to your relaxation in every possible way. Again, it is advisable not to make a mistake with the place.
And so the time flew by. Very inconspicuous. And so it turned out - a day of rest - then a trip, a day of rest - and a walk. Very comfortable and well thought out. Thanks to everyone who took the burden of organizing trips and travels from us, who allowed us not to think about anything, but only enjoy life and recharge with the magical energy of the island.
We managed to see and see a lot, but there is still a lot to see, to repeat something, to return to something. In the near future, we will come to Bali again. That's for sure. We have a lot more.. .
