If I were to visit Bali again....places I would like to go again....

Temples - Uluwatu & Tanah Lot.

Shopping - definitely at Sukawati (and maybe around Ubud area)


If I were to visit Bali again....

I would like to stay a night or two at Lovina beach & see dolphin

Then stay a night or two at Ubud

Shop habis-habis at Sukawati & Ubud


If I were to visit Bali again....

I will not shop at Kuta or Legian area for shirts, dress or survenirs

I will prepare physically and mentally strong in bargaining for the best price in my purchases

I will avoid Nyepi day

We always look forward to our holiday trips especially overseas ones and this trip is more memorable and special because I had my sis with me. For my 2 girls, they had a blast with their cousin, Jeremy.
