This honeymoon was surely a short and sweet one. The quite moments spent together with Z was a great remedy after my work stress. Too short though, that I wished we could have stayed longer..
Since the original intention was to distress & unwind, we skipped the visits to many places due to the distance factor from one place to another. We just visited a few, like Tanah Lot, a famous "pura" or temple, about 20 minutes north of Kuta.
We only enjoyed the view of the pura from far and dared not go any closer ;-). Did some shopping at the market and had our portrait done by a Sulawesi born artist there. Hmm, nice moment..and I didn't know that Z knew so much about the Indonesian legends, the Presidents Sukarno & Suharto until I heard him chatting to Francis (the artist). Hey, my hubby's not bad at all, yeah...he reads a lot, and he reads on just anything! Unlike me, my love is LOVE, so my kind of books are..hehe..Daniel Steel's! Such a hopeless..
Then at Ubud (the center of arts), we bought a few paintings & some souvenirs for d kids ;-). There were beautiful & colorful ones everywhere...and we had a tough time choosing one! Along the way to Ubud town, there were gold and silver factories, stone carvings centers, wood carvings centers, etc. No wonder Bali has always been famous for these uniqueness..
even the pavements were nice..
Then, more shopping back in Kuta! Dresses, t-shirts, parios (can't help it, they are too nice to ignore), and shhhh...Tiffany's bracelets and ring for me. That was the highlight, hehe..
The must not miss of all in Bali was....taraaaa....the spa! We rewarded ourselves with a Balinese massage treatment at the spa, and it was a greaaaaat one! The use of aromatherapy oils, with the ancient techniques (skin rolling, kneading and stroking, acupressure and reflexology...around my body, mhhhh... really brought deep relaxation!
The best moment we had was at Jimbaran Beach, where we just walked together slowly hand in hand..watching the sunset. It's so, so beautiful and no words can describe the beauty that Allah has created for us. I'm so blessed..

We both have gone through a lot of hick-ups throughout our marriage. It is essential to have quiet moments like this once in a while to recharge... We are looking forward for sweeter and greater things ahead of us..
