Here are some photos of our villa in Seminyak, Bali. Up the stairs is the bedroom that is closed in and a/c. The rest of the place is indoor/outdoor living. We really like the setup. With our house being partially outdoors, you do see Geckos (and yes they do make a sound that sounds like "gecko") on the ceiling and yesterday I was lucky enough to see one try to commit suicide but instead of hitting the ground he landed on ATG. I'm pretty sure I've never seen ATG move that fast.
Bali is great but there are a couple things I could live without:
-Smells: you will be walking down the street when all of a sudden you get a whiff of something that could only be described as old eggs and dog poo.
-Water: I hate not being able to get a glass of water out of the sink. You probably could but you would end up with "Bali Belly".
-Holes: These go hand in hand with the smells. Whenever you see a hole on the sidewalk, sometimes as large as 2' x 2', you know that there will be a smell as the stench comes from the sewage water running under ground. I start gawking around and have come quite close to stepping into one of these holes which would end quite terribly.
That's about it, besides that, Bali is great. The people are extremely friendly here and they always have a smile on their face. It's such a laid back lifestyle (until you are on a scooter or in a car). The food has been pretty good and I have learned to look right before left when crossing the street. I started to go through the camera and noticed that all of our pictures were from sunsets. I will work on getting some other pictures taken this week. We are headed back down to Uluwatu to stay with Leilani again on Sunday so we will take the camera.
Until next time!

Rad, we stayed in Seminyak too! It's a beautiful place, I agree about the smell and the condition of the street though. The countryside is much more beautiful in Bali than the cities.
ReplyDeleteIf you can, try to get to Ubud, it was one of our favorite spots. Also, you can dive a shipwreck for like $30 in Tulamben, it's amazing!
