Bali - Seminyak

Seminyak

Bali performs as promised. After a chaotic airport arrival (relative to Singapore,) we went to Seminyak, a “quieter” beach town. The sand was black with a long stretch of sand at low tide and garbage everywhere except in front of the hotels. I never went fully into the water, but instead enjoyed a single beach walk and several sunsets at high- and low-end establishments. I’m happy to know there are still simple waterfront beach clubs, only bits and pieces are torn up by high rises. There are also tiny restaurants and bars along the beach.

Our guest house was lovely (Villa Kresna) with a sweet dipping pool. Due to reservation mixups, we ended up being moved to a two-bedroom suite with full kitchen and private dipping pool. Oh thank the lord, I did not want to leave the hotel. We did, but only for breakfast and dinner at the beach. Oh and the partying! I think aussies rent these villas to party hard and dip naked, the music and laughing went on until the dawn, but the mornings were blessedly quiet.
