Kuta Beach Walk, Bali

We're back to Kuta Beach Walk after having spent an afternoon on the beach. Since it's already night time, we saw different facade of the mall...not quite what we experienced during the day. 

Once again, though it may look modern, the essence of it all was still a traditional feel of Balinese style. 

Let's take a pose to capture the moment, gals.  

taking a pic in front of the bright lights lo the stores along with the dangling green plants.... 

me, too...me, too.  

The girls found frangipani flowers fell off from the trees....they picked them up and got an idea of floating them on a pond. 

I wonder where they got the idea of doing that...but I guess it's a cool thing to do while waiting for guide to pick us up. 

Eyra, too, was also taking her chance of floating her newly found frangipani. 

It's simple and free...and the girls found their way of having fun. 

So this is what it looked like when the night sky loomed in. 

Just a few meters away from the sandy beach, Beach Walk really caters the need of anyone who wants to have a relaxing time in Kuta. 

Thanks, Putu for taking the picture. 

Now, we're ready to go to the airport.:-)

Kuta Beach

 

It passed sunset time..and yet we did not move from the beach. All of our luggage were in the car and most of them are at the airport so we did not have any clothes to change..:) and no hotel to go to...since we got to wait for another 5 hours before our plane departed to Korea. 

So..we stayed put at the beach and let the girls play with the sand. 

gosh..we must've been crazy to let them play with the sand though we knew for sure that we got to wait until we arrived at the airport to change our clothes:-)

But..that's the road trip or transit trip we had in Bali.

Kuta: Its Beach & Beach Walk

Yes, we came to Kuta again. It's our 2nd time to visit Bali and what would a Bali visit be without a visit to Kuta.  

With its white sand that stretches more than 1.5 km...but I guess..it's longer than that. anyway....although there are much more beautiful beaches like Dreamland...Kuta is still one of the tourists' favorites, especially as THE place to catch the sunset.

So..along the sunset boulevard, there is one newly opened mall that is getting lots of attention from both locals and visitors: Kuta Beach Walk. 

We want to freshen up ourselves before having a splash at the beach. This mall has an open-air concept that combines natural beauties and modern landscapes. but, first...we got to go back to the beach...^^ 

Dejavu...we're here like 4 years ago..and here we are! 

The same pose we had 4 years ago..but the only difference is that Eyra and Freya are grown up.^^ 

but...the sand-castle making thing...is The SAME.!! 

"ajeossi...what are you doing back there?" oh, well....

We miss the sun and warmth of summer already. ㅋㅋㅋ

Bali: Family Road Trip!!!

Road trip? naaaaaaahhh:-) no way we'd have a road trip with the kids in car:-) These are pictures we took from inside the car we rented on our way to Kuta Beach. 

This is Ubud. Yup...I think this is also a typical Balinese pedestrian where parked motor bikes on one side while the other one tourists are seen walking up and down the street. 

Motor bike rentals are such lucrative business in Bali that lots of backpackers or any adventure-looking tourists prefer this mode of transportation to go around Bali island. 

Every where..and at every nook and cranny (ㅋㅋㅋ) and corners of Bali island...temples temples temples...are visible. All are in Balinese-style architecture ...and this is what makes Bali unique. Lots of tourists were seen sitting right next to the street.... 

walking up and down the street...Indeed..it's always happily busy in Bali. 

and not to mention...the so many cars parked or ...passing through the notoriously narrow street of Bali.:-). but..hey..that may be one of the unique feature of Bali as well. 

now ..let's go inside the car...Freya and Eyra were tired after having fun at Bali Bird Park and Monkey Forest. Soundly asleep. 

one....

two.... 

three o...o......o.... 

It's Ashar and it's time for us to pray. We asked our guide to find a Masjid and he brought us at a Masjid near the airport. Yes...we could take a rest for a while before proceeding to our next destination: Kuta Beach. 

This is the Masjid where we stopped to pray. 

after about 30-minute drive from the Masjid, we continued our journey that brought us to Kuta--a hip place for anyone looking for sun and fun. 

I asked my guide, Putu, to drop us off near Kuta Beach Walk--a newly opened open-air mall right in front of the famous Kuta Beach.
