Arrived back at hotel ready to take HookedonBali to the airport with the others heading out to do another few mins shop. Decided to have few drinks with Made on our verandah as we had poolside cottages and some spare time before they had to head off. Remembered i had bought over a present for Mades youngest Michelle whos nearly 4. It was in a huge box and thought id try putting it together while Made was there in case any male assistance was required. It was a keyboard complete with lights and microphone and stool to match. It was put together with new batteries and ready for the day he bought his daughter over. Just after this the other girls had wandered back with a bit more shopping and with a few more drinks on board and had to have a double look at the Karaoke machine which i just said id been and bought for them.
Of course i think i got my moneys worth just with the laughs when we then commenced to have Karaoke sessions on the verandahs for the next few nights complete with our audience of the dozen of us and the workers from the ramayana coming to watch thinking it was the most amusing thing theyd seen for a while ( which it probably was). Of course this lead to the staff asking us throughout the hotel grounds whenever they saw us in the day "Karaoke tonight?" amazing how small things amuse small minds especially after a few cocktails from our verandah. Luckily most of our rooms joined on so we werent annoying anyone else. Our bar had quite collection with our own 12 bottles plus the 4 free from duty free plus a whole bottle of gin,half vodka, redwine and whiskey kindly given to us by people going home. Once again think Balinese guys surprised we were married as this time they asked the question surely couldnt believe any men would put up with us.
Headed to bed later than intended as usual, being really tired as usual..
decided to have a casual whatever day on the Sun. Had breakfast down the road at Bali Bagia which is a very clean and has friendly staff with the guys remembering my name from 1 yr ago. The cooked b/fast with the juice and nescafe i think was still 20,000 -amazing some things arte cheaper than when i went 12 yrs ago.
Headed back to have at least 5 mins of relaxing time when asked my name near the pool turned out to be Gwenda5 from travel forum who prob surmised it was me that was meant to meet her to help with the orphanage day out as i had the pool guy helping once again with the task of inflating 20 soccer balls ready for the next day.
Worked out plans for meeting on Kuta beach on the Mon at 10 am when the bus was due to arrive from the orphanage.
also meet Lorraine and Robbo from Syd from BTF who had been there helping out in a village with Rotary and they also agreed to help out the next day so all organised just had to increase the lolly supply.
Ended up doing a spot of shopping myself really nice GOOD quality watches from small shop near the sportsbar at front of Ramayana where have bought before this time diamonte Guess watches. these had been reduced and were around 12$ A and much better than on the beach quality wise. Had also boght a few from beach this time i think 30-40,000 each..
