We moved the next day to Teka Teki Homestay, right in the middle of Seminyak. It's located 10-15mins away from the beach within walking distance. Surrounded with great bars, shops and restaurants, it's hard not to wander around the area everyday.

Before moving into this home stay, we actually had lunch at Motel Mexicola. Obviously serving Mexican food and drinks but what's not to love about this place, it's colourful and i'm a sucker for anything that is associated with funny and weird. I'm not an expert with Mexican food around Bali, nevertheless it's worth visiting this place for the feel of it. As for the food, we only had tortillas and burrito. I must say i did enjoy the food but if you want to try the real deal, i recommend Taco Casa in Ubud (check out our next post!).



It sounds like we're distancing ourselves from Balinese food to Mexican. I guess we had plenty of duck and traditional cuisine just being an Indonesian!

First of all, finding this home stay felt like finding a treasure. I booked this place after reading positive reviews and that's exactly what we got, a clean room with 2 lovely care taker and may i add accompanied by awesome dogs. (Scooby & Dian). Oh and a cat too who was barely there but as a cat lover, i understood the nature of cats and it's curiosity to get away. i feel ya Ringo!



Not to mention, once again we were questioned with the "where are your parents?" question. We told the guy who was in charge of the place "it's just the two of us!". He was surprised and said "it's really brave for the two of you to travel here in Bali, enjoy and be careful!". I kid you not, the amount of looks and question we get about our parents is crazy. I don't blame them!

Bali has always been a favourite get-away place for us to visit, the people, food, beach and the hidden gems you tend to find along the way. We traveled to Bali with our cousin just because it was the right timing, we actually had a couple of people canceling on the plan but that happens.

We first stayed in Seminyak for 6 days and had the chance to stay in Maca Villas & Spa for a night (Mind you we were on a tight budget, staying at a villa was a pretty risky idea ha!). We love traveling as much as the next person but being a graphic designer (Celsy), it's hard not to appreciate the interior and design for these places. It makes the experience long-lasting!

Maca Villas & Spa is located in the heart of Seminyak specifically in Petitenget. It's actually a quiet place surrounded with a couple of other home stays/villas. We were greeted with drinks and the people was ever so kind. They were probably confuse why 3 girls looking like 15-yr-olds doing on their own here. We booked the villa for 2 people through Agoda, the villa itself cost $300 per night and comes with breakfast and a private pool. 

The living room is huge enough for 3 people, there's a small kitchen area and dining place. One master bedroom that has the outdoor pool view. We loved how the pool is connected with sliding doors and you can open it anytime you want. 


Other than messing around the pool and taking countless photos, the next morning we decided to go for a run at the beach. If you're a morning person, wake up at 5am and go to the beach enjoy the sea because it's worth it. The villa wasn't too far from the beach but it's best to rent a bike to get there. Luckily they provided bikes that are free for us to use and gave us locks. Well technically if we lose this bike we're doomed and we would have to say goodbye to our savings for the rest of the Bali trip.


In the afternoon we chilled at Potato Head Beach Club, ordered some food and watched the sunset. It was pretty cloudy to be honest but waiting for the right seats was worth the view.
