I’m all done with Japan, and now I’m here with Bali. I find it very hard to catch up with travel posts because I have to recap where I go and do and it’s not easy. Especially when this trip happened last year in July. 😮 But it’s okay because I love sharing my holidays!

Day 2 in Bali. First stop – Pantai Pandawa.

This place looks alot like Melasti Beach, but Melasti in my opinion is more peaceful and amazing. I visited Melasti Beach in November so you got to wait awhile before I write about it. lol!

We woke up at about 7am and this is how our villa looked like in the morning.

There are many ants and flies on the floor so most of the time I’m in the room. lol!

Wanted to take a shot sitting here but didn’t because I don’t know where that puddle of water came from. Many birds flew by by the way.

David is already outside waiting for us when I’m done preparing. We head to Pantai Pandawa right away with my sleeveless maxi dress. Sunburnt okay. I didn’t bring anything to cover my body.

It would be good if it was windy and cooling. But it was hot and hot and hot. So I didn’t stand there for very long.

The shops along the beach. Abit similar to Patong beach in Phuket but Phuket is way crazier than here.

 photo 29_zpshwoqri0w.jpg

didn’t buy anything even though I was craving for coconut water. Walked around a little bit more and we went to look for David to take us to our next location which is

Padang Padang beach! A very popular beach and surf spot! The entrance fee for 2 person including driver’s parking fee is $2.50 too! I think it was free last time but now they charge! 

It has a dramatic entrance! Looked like someone opened up the rocks to let people go through. I basically have to ‘go’ in with my maxi dress! Usually the rock path near the beach are all wet and slippery, so you got to be very careful here.

Once you’re out of the rocks? This is the beach! This place can be pretty crowded because it’s where, EAT PRAY LOVE was filmed at!

The water is so clear!!

 photo 31_zpszobw71dy.jpg

So pretty!

It is a very special and small beach! A tourist, I think japanese? asked Simon to help him take a photo. haha.

Say hi to the 2 of them. lol!

 photo 35_zpsuww9cp3i.jpg

If you’re wondering if this place is hot. Yes it is. VERY. I think it’s hotter than Pantai Pandawa.

 photo 36_zpsbnbz8ryk.jpg

This is such a perfect place for holidays. So laid back! If only I know how to surf. 🙁

Padang Padang beach is amazing because I feel like I’m in my own little world. The only sad thing is that it is too crowded. All the babes and hunks are all lying there suntanning. I’m glad I didn’t step onto them. LOL!

Pantai Pandawa is magnificent too but I find it a little too exposed for me. I like personal space more. :p

Will I return again? Probably no. Because I don’t do suntanning and surfing. :p

Anyway I shall stop here today. Don’t like it when the post is too long. In the next post I will talk about Blue point beach. We had our lunch at Single Fin and I really want to go back again!

So, till the next time then. 🙂
