Club Med at Bali (8-12 Dec)

We were very lucky to win a pair of air tickets to Australia in the Austville lucky draw.  The travel agency CTC told us that it is worth $1,400 and we can choose to go to Australia or elsewhere.  As we just came back from Melbourne & Sydney in June, daddy & mummy decided to go to Club Med at Bali instead.  With the voucher, we only need to top up a few hundred dollars more. Club Med is an all-inclusive resort but some things are still chargeable eg. better wine, spa & etc. 

Our room


Relaxed by the beach

Cookie Making for kids

Kids Club

Swimming at the Kids Club.  The staff find her very reserved so paid special attention to her..We put Kaelyn in the kids club where she gets to mingle with kids of other nationalites. She did not quite enjoyed it so we only left her there once or twice only. During her absence, we head to the quiet pool, meant for adults only, for a relaxing swim, sauna and steambath. 


 Daddy & Mummy try our luck at the dart competition... See mummy won silver.. hahah..

 All of us had a good jump on the Trapeze... a bit scary..

Watch her maiden jump...

Nightly entertainment at very good standards. All the performers are internal staff who may be a waitress, security guard, front desk staff or life guard by the day but turned performers at night.  Thumbs Up!

The resort is nice and relaxing but perhaps we are not resorts people so spending 5 days at the same place makes us feel caged up so we "escaped" to the town to sightsee other parts of Bali.  Transport is really expensive so we only done it once..something like S$50 for 2 way .. feel so ripped off!

There are 2 highlights for Kaelyn during the city tour - to have her nails painted and hair braided



  Another kids activity - Sand Castle Making


Another highlight of her trip is she gets to perform on stage... She told the emcee she's performing ballet... erm.. since when you know ballet?  Hahaha...

This video shows the emcee interviewing her and then she went to tell the emcee the songs are inappopriate for ballet dance.  The Aussie boys were instead grooving to the music....

Finally came the "right"music ... and she performed her "ballet"... the aussie boys on the other hand  didn't know how to react to that kind of music... funny

We also participated in some of the activties such as morning yoga, golf, archery, swimming & sailing.  I think an experience once at club med is enough.  Someone told me Club Med at Bintan is better... I'll perhaps consider that option at my next lucky win!
