to walk - just make sure you have your bottles of water to stop whiny son's or hubby complaining about "Where the hell you dragging me to " ? <LOL> Oh gee I can SO relate to this.My husband really likes nice clothes & has to dress well for work & also for his board meetings BUT he absolutely hates shopping & will do almost anything to avoid it ! I'm lucky because he now uses going to Bali as an excuse to get his clothes made cause he says it's so easy & he is so happy with them.I sure won't complain cause it means another holiday.
Ok - here goes.Walk out front door of Indo- National up to Jalan Padma corner,turn left then turn right at Posers Bar into Jalan Padma Utara.Shouldn't need a drink just yet so keep walking.Keep walking North past Logi supermarket & Garden view cottages & keep going.By the time you get to the bend in the road where 3 brothers lane is you will be at Bamboo corner - stop to get the husband a Bintang & tell him not much longer.After you finsih having a few drinks there walk North past the Melasti beach resort & you have about 5 minutes to go.You get to the next bedn in the road that verves left - you will see the shop that sells kids fairy costumes.Follow the road a few metres more.You will see thew Circle K shop on your left & Merry's Collection that the very talented & friendly Aristo owns is right opposite on your right.
To hell with it Cat why not just spend 4000 rupiah & get a darn taxi <LOL> When you see Aristo give him our fond regards.
BTW - I am sure you can get Binnies across the road at the Circle K if your hubby is so worn out from the 10 > 15 minute walk <VBG> remember the shop IS fully air conditioned so it makes it so much easier,if you are sweaty when you get there just ask Aristo to turn up the air conditioner & he will !
