Post Wedding Trip - Bali P1

A short vacation to Bali straight after our wedding, not a honeymoon trip! This was more of a rest & recharge trip after the hectic planning of wedding and house renovation. We chose Bali as our destination as it seemed "right" to return to the island as Mr & Mrs, given that Leecher proposed to me on this island :)

Unlike all other trips, we took separate airlines on our 1st trip out as Mr & Mrs, lol! Leecher had the luxury of traveling SQ (courtesy of my miles) while I had to purchase my own tickets and travel Air Asia. Yes, I am being bullied even before marriage already! As it turned out that some of my KrisFlyer miles will be expiring soon & at the time of conversion, I only had enough miles to redeem a round-trip ticket. So I asked Leecher if he is alright if we travel on separate airlines, as it was only a 2.5 hours journey. Leecher said that's fine ...... if he gets to travel on SQ >.<

On the cab to the airport - the best part about staying in Punggol? We're closer to the airport & I can afford to sleep in longer whenever I'm traveling for business trip, heehee!

Done with his check-in, we took the sky train to T1.

Late lunch/early dinner @ Ruyi, which is the 1st fast-food Chinese restaurant to be introduced in Singapore.

We parted ways after dinner, as Leecher had to go back to T2 to board his flight. Since we are taking 2 different flights, we agreed to meet up at the luggage collection point. I had to board my flight first, as I'm on the earlier flight.

It was almost 7pm when we landed in Bali - hopped onto the airport transfer and our driver brought us to the villa.

Snails roaming the garden when we checked into the villa.

Our tired faces & we were so hungry that we had to call for their room service!

Refreshing welcome drink to quench the thirst - think it was watermelon juice.

We checked out the rest of the villa while waiting for our dinner. We booked the Temple Villa, which comes with private garden, a plunge pool with sea view. The living room is spacious, with a day bed & a wide variety of DVDs for viewing.

The bedroom & bathroom were so huge! One bad point - there are no racks on the standing shower area to put your toiletries. You have to put them on the floor, not very convenient.
