Away from Civilization…and the Kids

With a Sunday rainy day to chill out, I remember completely unplugging last weekend in Lombok at Qunci Villas.  Lombok is an island in Indonesia next to Bali, and this charming venue is still relatively low-key compared to its ultra-popular neighboring tourist destination.  I like to describe Lombok as “Bali from maybe a decade or so ago.”

So with few crowds and no kids around, it was certainly the antidote to civilization (Wasn’t that the catch phrase to some other resort?) as Li Lin and I totally chillaxed to the max in our one bedroom villa with personal pool.

With uncongested streets and lush green all around us, it was just too easy to spend a lot of time doing nothing and not worry about the next task on hand…

The food was good and inexpensive, and I had a good time exploring the nearby beaches and just lappin up the stunning sunsets.

Overall, Qunci Villas was a nice place to stay.  However, they really gotta do something about their room service cuz no food is served after 11 Pm when the restaurant closes so be prepared to bring some snacks or go on a personal fast until breakfast begins at 7 AM the following morning!

Still, just the mere fact that we could totally relax (and not worry about the kids for once) was enough to slap some smiles on our mugs!
