Suite Life On Deck

11th - 14th December 2012
Superstar Virgo Cruise to Penang and Phuket.
 
It was a lovely Sunday morning.
 
That's the ship we are going on later.
I was looking forward to this day because we are going on a cruise in the afternoon. We waited for a few minutes to board the cruise. Finally we boarded the cruise.
 
It was so beautiful. I have never seen anything so beautiful.
 
I can't wait to explore the whole ship but daddy was so tired so I brought mummy instead.
 
Checkers anyone?
We found out that there was a big slide, an arcade, a playroom and a theatre.That night we went to the theatre to see a magic show it was real magic.
 
Can you see the huge spiral slide?
The next day we went swimming. I didn't want to ride the small slide so I cried and cried. At last I was too tired to cry so I went down the slide and I went under water but luckily daddy was there.
 
The following night we went to the theatre again to see Spongebob.My little brother was scared.The next day we went to the big slide.I like the big slide better than the small slide. That night I went to the small theatre with mummy to watch a Spongebob movie. 
 
Having my hair braided by the beach in Phuket.
The next day was a beautiful day but we are already sailing for home .It was a suite life on deck. I'm looking forward to the next suite life on the new Virgo.

My Holiday in Bali !!!!!

Trip to Bali
10th - 13th December 2012 

I . just . came . back . from . BALI!!!!!

We stayed there for 5 days. We stayed at Kuta a small part of Bali. I went there with my family and my 13 year old cousin. The hotel I stayed at was called Aston Kuta Hotel.

First Day:

When we reached Bali,it was nearly dusk. We took a van to our hotel dropped of our luggage and went to a famous restaurant which is called Pawon Pasundan. We ordered dishes of rice and a flying fish. The flying fish is Gurame.After we finished our delicious food and drinks, (The people at Bali really know how to cook!!) we went back to our hotel and slept soundly.I did not want to sleep because I wanted to wait for the next day morning tour. But then, I too slept soundly.zzzzzz



Second Day:


AAAHH!!!!! I do not want to wake up!!!! Well that was what I told my father. But (sigh) I got dragged off the bed and into the toilet.After all of us showered, we headed to a Barong performance.A barong is a tiger but the Indonesians do not call them tigers. It was some thing new and amazing. My younger brother was quite afraid. After the show, we went to Sukawati market to get our cultural shopping done. My father bought a set of wayang kulit figurines as memento. 
 
We planned to watch the kechak dance at dusk but did not get to, as it was raining heavily. Instead we got caught in a traffic jam for about 3 hours. At last we settled for shopping at roadside stalls near Discovery Mall.
 

Third Day:
 
In the morning, we took a van to the rice field .The height took my breath away.We were on top of the  mountain and since we were at the top and since we were driving up themountain, it got colder and colder.When we reached the top, I wish I was wearing a coat!

The rice plantation was beautiful and breathtaking from the top!There was more!
At Kintamani, near Gunung Batur, we walked up a flight of stairs and at the top there was a beautiful restaurant. After we had our lunch, we prayed Zuhur and Asar then we went down the mountain. Along the way we visited a kopi luwak plantation. It has coffee gathered from the secretion of the luwak.Luwak is a type of animal. It is very expensive so my family did not try any.
 
And then...... it was dusk AND we got to see the kechak dance!It was exciting and we saw monkeys . Wild ones!! After the Kechak dance, I started yawning and our tour guide brought us to a small restaurant and I ate sleepily by the beach at jimbaran. My dad said it was expensive an expensive meal. When we reached the hotel I was sooo tired I just flopped on bed and fell asleep.
 
Fourth day:
 
Yay! Today was fun !I watched my cousin and my dad learn to surf! They were sooo funny they only got on the surf board and then they will fall. Neither of them really mastered surfing . This is a picture of my cousin surfing. After all the excitement we got ready to go home. I will really miss Bali and the fun things we did. I Love Bali.
