Another Victoria's Secrets

So Tulip Bali has a new program. It is a Ladies Night every Friday and Saturday. So Cia and I came and invited our friends to come, including this new guy we knew from Kolega. He brought his friend and we met some other friends in Tulip, then continued the party to Hu'u Bar. There will be another Ladies Night program at Tulip tonight, so if you feel like it, we'll meet there!

I was very excited last Sunday night after the Lembongan Island Trip because my dearest youngest aunt was coming to Bali with her youngest daughter, Angelika. I met the group of my aunt, my cousin and her four best friends at Grandma's Hotel, Seminyak. They checked in, and we had dinner at Bestest Cafe, at Dhyana Pura street.



I didn't meet the girls again at Tuesday, but I met my other aunt instead. Auntie Ellen was with Tante Innes and my second cousin I just knew, Kak Meilina. She is the granddaughter of my grandfather's sister and she's been living in Bali for 12 years now. We had seafood dinner at Furama, Kedonganan, then they dropped me home.



On Wednesday night, the girls fetched me up at office and took me with them to the hotel. We stayed there for couple of hours before having dinner at Warung Italia. The driver picked up my other cousin, Goldi, who happens to be in Bali also. We had great meal, and ended the day at Taris Warung, Seminyak beach front. It was really nice to meet family after living alone for almost four months now.

It was a fine Sunday when we all gathered at office at 8 a.m. Me, Cia, Dani, Alban, Aurel, Zee and Olivier went together in Alban's car to Sanur and arrived there around 9.15 a.m., met Dewi Cristina there and set on board by a speedboat to Nusa Lembongan, a beautiful island 30 minutes away from Sanur beach.





We arrived at the island at around 10 a.m., rent bikes and drove to Nusa Ceningan, a smaller island next to Lembongan, connected with a yellow bridge with metal construction and wood base. We arrived at the Jumping Cliff, next to the blue lagoon somewhere at the southern side of the island.


The guys tried the 13 meters high jump from the cliff while the girls were having pancakes. We met this cute American couple with three kids; two toddler boys and one baby girl, and we held the boys while their parents did the jumping. That was such an adrenaline ride for the parents, but I'd say it was much much more for the boys.



We left the cliff and rode back to the Lembongan, rode for about 20 minutes to the western shore to find food but there were only tuna served, while they said the tuna weren't fresh. People got sick or infected by eating them, so we avoided it. So another 20 minutes driving to Dream Beach then, like the safest place for us there.







I had grilled fish for lunch, then after we were all stuffed, we went down to the beach for sunbathing. This is the part I loved the most, but stupidly I didn't bring the sarong with me, so my body was covered with sand all over. But we did have fun anyway.


We went back to the Mushroom Bay at 4.30 and went back to Bali by the same speedboat, only the bumps were much worse at afternoon. I'd prefer to stay overnight and take the trip earlier of the day next time. We all were tanned and tired, and the most important thing is, we really had fun!
