Family vacations usually involve celebrating special occasions–birthdays, anniversaries, passing the board exams, reunions–a good excuse to take a leave from work, relax and enjoy the company, build stronger ties and of course, do as much sight-seeing the time permits. For Lui, Kareen and Claudia’s vacation in Bali, Indonesia, it was to celebrate Lui and Kareen’s wedding anniversary.
For two days, they went to the Bali Zoo, Tanah Lot, Bali Swing, and temple sight-seeing. Most of their activities were dedicated for Claudia, which she enjoyed very much, even though she had a slight fever! Day one was a half day tour at the zoo. It was a first for Claudia, and she was very happy seeing the animals that her laughs echoed! There were a few animals which she got afraid of, but it was easily replaced by excitement and curiosity as she was smiling and pointing at them, even with crocs and snakes!
On the way to the pool, an elephant surprised them. It was beautiful!
Claudia loves maps! She was still looking at it even a day after the zoo trip and reciting the animals she saw.
Their day ended with a quick stop at one of the temples around Ubud, Bali. There were temples in almost every corner, and they chose this one as the relief sculptures were very detailed and awesome. Too bad it was already closed when they arrived, but the exteriors was already a good photo op!
This probably summarizes Claudia’s reactions as she saw various animals! Love them!
