Potato-ing at Potato Head, Bali



On our trip to Bali, Rockstar decided that he needed to get to Potato Head to check out their handmade shoes. We started strolling down Seminyak one day, which took us half the morning and afternoon, like some hard core tourists; and we found ourselves not much closer to our destination.When locals and GPS says at least another 5 kilometres away, we decided to hop into a taxi and was there is a flash amidst some tight security check. 


When we arrived, Eleven Boutique were out of their handmade shoes. But Lydia suggested going into Potato Head for a drink. Since we were all hot and sweaty, we agreed. Walking in was such a pleasure. Outside the perimeter, it was hot and dusty and brown. Inside, past its long wall, with water running down it should have prep us for the paradise within. I felt like I've walk into a different time zone or something. Greens, palm trees, people lying on the lawn, sipping cocktails and living the high life. 








Sadly, not dressed or prepared for for swimming or sunbathing, we had to just chill on the lawn with our drinks and people-watch (and erm, camwhore and roll around on the grass).

 Drinks was surprisingly cheap (besides Lydia's one).

Had a refreshing short nap and then decided to play around with my new long range lense by stalking  people and doing a mini photoshoot with my twinnie. 










It was getting late and we had to meet the rest of the group. On our way out, we noticed the queue was building up as it was close to dinner time so if you ever decide to go, please make reservations in advance. 




We left feeling like potatoes.. *if it means anything*. hahaha... till then..

Colours of Bali

I seem to have lost my blogging mojo. Maybe I'm just being lazy. Anyway, I just got back from Bali and lets hope that these pictures will inspire me to blog again.

Rockstar got me 2 presents for my birthday - a new lense for my DSLR and Sony Xperia S :) Here are some photos taken during the few days we were there - more shopping than anything else, around the streets of Ubud, Legian, Kuta and Beachwalk :p
