The Land Below The Wind (Part 1)

The cab arrived just on time. If we would have waited for another 15mins, then I'm sure that we would be late. Apparently there had been some sort of miscommunication and they waited at the wrong house bla bla bla... :S But it was soon resolved and we were fast on our way to the airport.

LCCT in the morning was as busy as any other part of the day. We checked in our baggage then made a quick stop at McDonalds and immediately proceeded to the boarding gate. But as we were approaching the gate, my little 2 year old started screaming " I don't want to go!" and I panicked. Luckily enough, he quickly got distracted and was an angel throughout the entire 2 hour flight =)

After disembarking the plane and going through immigration, we took our shuttle(already waiting at the main entrance) and headed towards Nexus Karambunai Resort & Spa. The resort is located quite a distance from the airport and town and takes approximately 45 mins to get there.

Finally, we arrived at the resort and were greeted and welcomed by the friendly staff who ushered us towards the poolside for our welcome drinks and then gave us a short introduction of the place. We were told that the main lobby is located 2km away from where we were, which then made me realize that we were in a separate lobby which is only catered specially for guests staying in the spa and pool villas.

We hopped in to the shuttle again and arrived in front of our pool villa in less than 5 minutes. What can I say? I'll let these pics speak for itself  =)
