Hiya, Just arrived home today from 3 weeks in Bali first time we do not have the blues glad to be home (I am sure this will wear off)
The Good the seeing our beautiful friends again, many drinks at Samie & Suzies with some wonderful people Scully (a wonderful person also such great company) Eva from Sweden,Smudge & Made, Sean, Chris & Ken any many more. Extra special event our wonderful friend/Driver new baby girl was born whilst we were in Bali mum and baby doing well also very honored baby has been named after myself and another Australian friend from this forum. Great to see Bali so busy again. Had a great night out at Cat & Fiddle with Scully,Smudge and friends.
The bad had little bit of a scare had to go to the BIMC they thought due to family history and my symptons I was having a heart attack. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. They wanted me to stay for 12 hours but compromised had blood tests and others done then had to return 6 hours later and if second lot of tests ok no problems. We were up at Uluwatu with our sons and our friend Scooby took the boys back to the hotel returned with our insurance documents etc waited for me then came back at 9pm to take me for second set of tests. To our relief not heart attack but given medication for the balance of holiday (which did the trick) Second bad event our boys were booked at Kuta Lagoon to arrive 1 week after us so after reconfirming TWICE before leaving Oz we decided to ask desk staff which room our boys had. They cancelled the booking we were advised NO WAY so asked to see the Manager (who is well away from the front desk action) He just laughed and showed us cancellation notice and said not my problem well not a good idea by this stage we were pretty upset. Luckily we know the owner as this was our 5 and last stay at this resort. He was over from Jakarta and in Reception and I asked for his help. What had actually happened our travel agent had 2 bookings for the boys and got a better deal so 1 was cancelled with different reference number but Kuta Lagoon cancelled both. I did see a posting warning about this happening earlier this year. Whilst we were this happened to dozens of people arriving with no accommodation or not getting rooms requested eg. Direct Pool Access rooms. ON A POSITIVE NOTE all the staff are the same that we have known for four years and could not do enough for us, rooms cleaned no problems.
Great eats, Warung 96, Warung Wulan, Aromas, Losari (in Garlic lane new great food) Tommys in eat street, Kopi Pot, Billys, Legends (food ok very entertaining particularly Whitney Houston) Blue Point Uluwatu.Cat and fiddle Sanur
In summary loved seeing our friends, received some beautiful flowers from our beautiful balinese daughter on arrival. Drinking at Samie and Suzies wonderful to see so many people there. Went for wonderful North Bali trip with Scooby long day but most amazing sights (if you want his details please let me know).
Did heaps of shopping still think Geneva is a great, thanks to the people on this forum who give out such valuable info.
