Wednesday walk challenge, by my friend @tattoodjay :))
As you know by now, my daughter came, with her best friend, to spend some time with me in East Timor.
And, before they go back next week, we arrived this afternoon to Bali, to end their vacations in styleβΊοΈ... they deserve it... and so do I!
Bali is another kind of paradise: the one who has everything, for all tastes...! It's always a bit crowded, but it's nice, for a change. And the places are fancy, and the restaurants... close late, yey!
Quite the opposite of East Timor.
So, after a rest in our lovely villa... oh, wait, let me show it :))! Not bad for three girls in need of some urban-like fun, huh π? But, as I've said, we had to crown this awesome time together with some treats, so we have a whole villa with swimming pool just for ourselves, in the center of Seminyak, my favorite place to stay when in Bali, as it has all the life and great places without the hustle and bustle of Kuta!
We had a walk around, already in the evening, and had dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in the area, an Italian called Ultimo. It has always a band performing live, and today these awesome guys were playing and singing some covers. We could ask them to sing some song by our request... and some clients ask for great hits, like Pink Floyd, Coldplay, etc.
One of the things I like most in Bali is the omnipresent spirituality. Balinese are mainly Hindus and their kindness, faith and rituals are widespread all over the island and present in every corner of the streets, shops, restaurants, taxis, and so on... Even Ultimo has an altar with offers for the Gods. But they are all over, as you can see by these photos I've taken:
Another great attraction of Bali are the spas... Balinese massages are famous and you just can't come and not having one. They are superb and... cheap. We will make one the three of us, we just can't help it π!
And Fergie is coming to town. Outdoors are announcing it all over! And the moon is full π! (yes, I know, the moon in the photo sucks, please bear with me!)
And this is one of the trendiest nightclubs of Seminyak: La Favela. Our place is 200m far from it. The girls just have to go there one of these nights. I just don't know if my ears will handle the decibels...
And, finally, the shops... my girls are expecting some treats, and here they are, on our evening walk...!
Have a blessed Wednesday!
Thanks, my dear Jay!
Love to all!
Steem on!
Yours,
Isabel

I've seen it! Wow, it's so wonderful! Thanks so much for your support, @steemitworldmap!
Great you had time with your daughter and her friend, I stopped in Bali In and out of ET each time I visited there, and loved my stopovers there, twice was just an overnight, but twice I took a few days leave and spend a few days in Bali, I didnt particularly like the city itself as I was wanting some R&R so for the long weekends stops I headed up the coast to a small little place in a small villa, I think it only had 4 rooms and both times I stayed there I was the only guess, not that was grea R&R, swimming in the pool sitting on the beach and great service it was just what I needed
Now is where it gets a small world I did eat twice at an Italian Restuarant in Bali, and I cannot be 100% sure but I think it was the place you went to
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk tip!
So did I, in 2001 and 2002. And Bali is so different now, sophisticated and trendy! And yes, my friend, I like it better in more calm and lonely places, but I am with the girls and they just want to get fun :)). So I'm on the mood too! It's really funny you had dinner at the same restaurant we did! It's more than possible, as it exists for a long while now. Thanks for your wishes and for the tip, my friend!
I guess so too. That were the times all the organizations were placed in ET!
I was on behalf of my company, a Portuguese Telco.

Hi @nolasco! You have received 0.1 SBD tip from @tattoodjay!Thanks, my dear Pix!
Wow. Bali looks massively changed since I was there. The only place that even came close to where you are staying was Kuta and it wasn't as upmarket as that.
I'm sure I wouldn't recognise the place.
Looks like a lovely way to end your holiday with our daughter though.
I stayed in a place called Mimpi Bungalows (which was also a treat at the time) with my daughter when I was there. I wonder if it still exists. π
I don't know, Gillian, there are thousands of them, all over! I come to Bali very often, and notice the changes every time I visit! It's one of the world's trendiest places, with a reason!
I'm glad I've brought you some good memories with your daughter!

Want to have your post on the map too?
Thanks so much, @steemitworldmap!
OMG! I wish SO much that I was there with you! Pure paradise! Pure envy!
Oh, my dear, I'd love too! But we will get our "revenge" when I will go visit you! We will make so many road trips! I love to drive and you are the best company! We will!
You are my inspiration to try to stay healthy enough to do that!
You will stay, my dear! I know it! And we will have lots of fun together!
Lugar incrΓvel Isabel, bonitas fotografias!
Abraços!
Obrigada, amigo Manuel, é mesmo! Abraços de volta!
Wow!
I still remember the first time i heard of Bali, it was a Surfer magazine cover. It was the spookiest most beautiful thing.
It sure has changed a bit. : ) looks like fun!
Yes, is incredibly beautiful and trendy! And even more for someone that, like me, lives in a developing country. It's a whole new world every time I return! Thanks for passing by, Ross!
Such a lovely post, Isabel! I see you are all having a great time over there! That's nice!
Great photo shoot!
Yes, I truly am! And with my beloved daughter, it's even more rewarding! Aw, I'm gonna miss her! Thanks for passing by, Ricardo!

It's great to see somethings else of Bali for once. Usually it's beach, beach, and some beaches ;) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! I rarely post beaches of Bali on Steemit, indeed... I donΒ΄t go to the beach, lol!
That's so cool stuff

I heard so much about Bali! It seems to be vegan paradise :) I will have to come over one day!
Looks like you had lots of fun with them!
It is, @delishtreats! There are vegan restaurants and cafes all over, and the food it's so yummy and good looking! Fruits here are amazing! You have to come over, indeed! Thanks for passing by, we are having lots of fun, indeed!
