Kachers Singapore Adventures: Bali Birthday Bash

Singapore has quick and cheap flights to many different countries in the region, so why not just go to Bali for your birthday with your best-ies. Two ladies in our community were coming up on milestone birthdays- 30 & 40 so they decided to do a celebratory Bali birthday trip. For $400 you can go for 4 days and 3 nights staying in a private villa.

Birthday Girls

We had a 5 room villa with private pool and personal assistants to clean and cook. What more can a girl ask for...

Hanging out in our private pool

Maybe shopping, a hike up a volcano, and massages?

Think I fell asleep during my foot massage.

A few scenic tourist stops were thrown in

We had an amazing diner at a place called Fins. You walked down a cliff for 50 steps then ride an "inclinator" down the mountain, and finally finished another 50 steps to end at the beach for a great meal and s'mores making.

We had a terrific get away that included all sorts of fun and some of the best shopping bargains. Some of the things we purchased for $5 we later found on ebay for $100. Wow wished I had just brought a few empty suitcases.

Found a San Diego sign that will be perfect for our upcoming move. Look at this loot! Yikes how are we gonna fit it in our suitcases?

So glad I had the opportunity to get away with these ladies enjoy the highlight (albeit ending up sick) -- a sunrise hike up a volcano. My vision for what I expected was not properly thought out because at 1AM, as we were getting ready I was putting on sun screen?- Hmmm I forgot it was a sunrise hike- that means hiking in the dark. It was pitch black out as we scaled the the mountain and unfortunately spitting rain, so we ended up buying $5 ponchos (massive rip off- but what's a girl to do)? Our guides were terrific and boiled us eggs in the volcano and made us banana sandwiches for breakfast. As light finally began to fill the sky, rain and clouds kept us for seeing the spectacular sunrise, however it was still beautiful. Once it was light enough we got to see the center of the crater and smell the steam slipping out through cracks. After the night turned into morning and we began our decent back down, the sun poked out a bit, and I was glad I had put on that sunscreen 6 hours ago!
