From the Bays of Bali - Bali Trip 1
What travelling does to mind is better than a bowl of fresh fruits to the body.
This morning I returned to Singapore from Bali, Indonesia. It was a short trip for such a lovely place. Sometimes I think I don't understand/do a proper holiday. First an exotic place is not a weekend get away, second a holiday with so much on the agenda doesn’t qualify as one. As always the constraints of time or money or both becomes the deciding factor.
A silent contemplation by the sunset is better than any psychiatrist.
I envy all those foreigners I met on this trip. For them, a holiday in an island means walking in sandals, eating local food, relaxing and totally soaking up to the energy, the place had to offer. For visiting a country is more than putting a red pin over the map and pat on shoulders. But I rather have at least two days of it than postponing until the day I am ready to travel upwards.
A monument is like a vailed bride, holding her beauty only for the explorer.
While coming back, I promised myself that I would work harder and also treat myself with longer holidays with all that I earn. 
Every place's culture and people have something to offer to us, our job is to let them.
With that note let me introduce to you the land of thousand temples, The Bali. I would try my best to give you a glimpse of it, in this travelogue. Welcome on board!
p.s: The quotes by the pictures are from your's lovingly ;)

I loved loved the second pic especially :)
Welcome back ... waiting for more :)
May u get time and money for many such tours .. a selfish desire . I get to read such beautiful posts na ;)
I envy you! and
You envy foreigners!
And may your wish of having a longer holiday come true soon :)
but im just kidding,.. its a feeling i too get when i see these foreigners, but when i talk to them i realise that i can never be like them,, leaving family and responsibilities behind and spend years just roaming around.... just not in me!! so i am content with going out when i can... and trying to get out as much as possible!!!
Liked most of the captions too.
Somehow disagreed with the bride one :-)
Sounds very MCPish :-)
Brides anyway look really beautiful and not just for 'explorers' :P :-)
Cheers

They say " Sonna vaiku sarkara dhaan podanum " which means lets feed the mouth that said this with sugar ;)
@gils
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm to you too
@ Anu
you are right, we have responsibilities always, specially so with SAHM, is that why we need to take sometime off to cool our heads, I mean I am not saying months, but a week or two shouldnt be a problem.
Glad you have come here. well I am not sure what MCP is means, but the quote suppose to mean, that only explorers get to see the hidden beauties any place has to offer, because they take the pain to find it , just like the prince and princes stories :)
@ Rammmm
Yes enakkum pidicha pattu adhu, correcta soneenga :) did you realise, thee for thee(tamil) makes beautiful substitue in this phrase ?
@ vidya

...oh so true.. very well said.. i couldn't agree more...
sometimes, hubbs and i feel like we are running after lost time when we travel... we want time to stand still but it just wouldn't.. i'm really thankful for our short but memorable trips...
Hope you have many more fun times holidaying.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers!!
