Glamp Nusa, is a new Bali resort which specializes in weddings. They pride themselves on exceptional 5 star service and certainly deliver just that. This was my first experience with glamping, it's a long way from any previous camping I've done. This was the venue for the wedding that 40 of the happy couple's closest family and friends had travelled to attend.
My tent was beside the koi pond, opposite Jami, my granddaughter on the other side of the pond and with my son and dil my closest neighbour. It came in handy having Jami so close when I decided to walk around on the lush grass barefooted while I took photos and got stung by an ant. Jami is a seasoned traveler and had some cream to sooth the sting.
The resort was next door to a paragliding business and the colourful kites (is that what they're called?) as they glided past added a lovely splash of colour.
Here there were no stepping stones to negotiate but a little bridge to cross. Obviously this is where the koi are fed as the minute one approached, the fish swarmed to the bridge.
The flowers were glorious. See those yellow-orangy garlands? They are also fresh flowers.
The guests were asked to not take photos so I don't have any to share except this quick snap I snuck in after the formal photos, of the happy couple having a quick refreshment. I have received a lovely video of the wedding but can't link it.
The paragliders had been asked by the resort people to not come past during the ceremony but after it was finished they did what looked like a fly-past. A wonderful sight.
Lovely photos Pauline, and so green there. Those flowers do looks absolutely wonderful. Plenty of fish and the paragliders and their colours look amazing up there in the sky flying past.
ReplyDeleteIt was great seeing those kites going past. They were close enough to see their faces and we could hear their voices as they called out their congratulations.
DeleteWhat a gorgeous setting for a wedding. A wonderful day! Bless the bride and groom

DeleteThank you. It certainly was a special day for our family.
DeleteBeautiful and looks very "exotic" :)
ReplyDelete"Exotic" is a good description, Monica. It's the first wedding I've attended that I felt was an event.
DeleteWhat a great location for the wedding. The paraglider were just a bonus.
ReplyDeleteYes, the paragliders were like an added extra. :)
DeleteI've never been to Bali but I've heard how popular it is, it would've been quite an experience for you, have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteYes, Amy, Bali is very popular but more with younger folk I think. I hardly saw another person my age, the climate is a bit harsh for European elderly.
DeleteWhat a beautiful location! I like the paraglider fly by.
ReplyDeleteI loved that fly by, too, Michelle. I saw it as an indication of the level of service by the resort. If the bride and groom didn't want the kites to fly by, they would have arranged for them to go in another direction. It also shows how closely the Balinese work with each other to please the tourists.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a very memorable trip, Pauline - thanks for sharing! :)
