\nI’ve been putting off writing this travel entry because I’m afraid I won’t do our barkada Bali trip much justice. Was really hesitant to travel to Bali at first because of all the horror stories I’ve heard – getting harassed in the airport, being framed for drugs, getting served fake alcohol, etc, but let me just say – I loved Bali! <\/b>I’ve had the best 4 days in Bali.\u2665\ufe0e It was Mar, Ish and I’s first time there and I think that fact made it extra special for us three. I had such a wonderful vacation with these two girls and had tons of fun exploring the island and embarking on cool activities (I’m serious!) together. The last time we travelled abroad was with Cielo when we flew to Singapore back in 2012<\/a>. So yes, this trip was long over due and I’m really looking forward to the next one! <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nLet me do my best to share our Bali experience with you (best trip everrrrr!!!) and maybe you can find itinerary suggestions for a 4 day trip to Bali. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDay 1:<\/b><\/div>\n
\n
<\/b><\/div>\n
\nAfter checking in and settling in (unpacking, napping, etc haha) our hotel, we decided to walk to Kuta Beach. We considered surfing but thought otherwise when we saw the waves. Below is the only picture I have of Kuta, and it’s from my friend Ish. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe then flagged a cab to Seminyak wherein we checked out the famous Potato Head Beach Club.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis quirky signboard greeted us upon arriving. Good to know \ud83d\ude09 <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nIt reminded me of Singapore’s very own Tanjong Beach Club, but guys, we went on a Thursday afternoon<\/i>. I doubt TBC is as packed on weekdays. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nUnlike TBC though, Potato Head has a legit stretch of beach with no ships and vessels within sight.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nBut for Indonesia standards, Potato Head is quite pricey. Think upper-middle range Singapore prices, but hey, you’re on holiday, so why not?!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe ordered this sampler called Welcome to PH<\/b>. It was served with veggie crudit\u00e9s, gazpacho, pork rillettes, garlic bread, fish and chips, and wagyu sliders. YUM!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe considered staying longer to catch the sunset but on our way to Potato Head, we passed by a lot of eye-catching (and tummy exciting) restos so we figured we’d turn Day 1 into our Seminyak Day. Yay!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

See you again soon, Potato Head!<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nPotato Head Beach Club <\/b>is located at Jln. Petitenget, Seminyak, Bali 80361 Indonesia<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe then took a cab to our next stop: <\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nCaf\u00e9 Bali <\/b>which is located at Jalan Oberoi Laksmana, Seminyak, Bali, Indonesia<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

From a hip and trendy beach club, we were charmed by Caf\u00e9 Bali’s quaint and cozy interiors.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nIt’s so shabby chic,<\/i> no?<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nThey even had bowls of tropical flora for decor and aroma.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nMar and Ish both ordered pad thai<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nI had a hard time deciding coz I wasn’t really that hungry but good thing I zoned in to this pesto or else I would’ve missed out on probably the best pesto dish I’ve had in my whole life.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nCheers to fresh fruit smoothies and to friendship!<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nOur next stop for the evening has got to be my favorite:<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nThe Bistrot<\/b> is located at Jl. Kayu Aya No. 117, Seminyak, Kuta, Bali 80361, Indonesia<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHow to not love a place with such gorgeous interiors?! Cozy, industrial, vintage, and warm – you don’t get that combo much.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe opted to stay upstairs so we can fully take in the interiors of the place.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nWe were still stuffed from the first 2 stops so we didn’t get to try their mains. Another reason to come back \ud83d\ude09 Did try the Lemon Meringue Tart though which was quite good.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nAnd we had some good convo with our reasonably priced bottle of white. Cheers to Bali!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis beautiful restaurant is tucked within this floor-ceiling windowed warehouse. I will definitely be back!!!<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWe were a bit tired (our flight left Manila at 4am) but the wine we had pushed us to go to one more stop: Sky Garden.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nNot much photos but you can google it<\/a> and see its interiors. We stayed for a bit to check out the nightlife but left soon thereafter. Oh here’s a tip, watch out for people giving out flyers outside the door. If you present it upon entering, you can get in for free with free drinks to boot. Not bad at all! \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\nSky Garden<\/b> at  Jalan Legian no 61, Kuta, Bali 80361, Indonesia<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

From there, we walked back to our hotel in Kuta. It was fairly safe as the roads were well lit and we made sure we were going through the main roads. Not far from Sky Garden though were people in the sidewalk muttering “mushrooms, mushrooms” but we just ignored them and carried on. That was our only semi-run in on my Bali fears. Thank God!<\/p>\n

And that wraps up our first day in Bali which I fondly call Eat <\/b>day.<\/p>\n

\nFor Day 3, click 
here<\/a>.
\nDay 4 coming soon.<\/p>\n
