Just wanted to share my 6th bali experience with you all... Just returned yesterday 4.40am in Perth spent 7 nights - Two children aged 7 and 2 years the flight over there was a bit tricky with the 2 year old but things improved once we arrived, our driver Jhonny was just wonderful highly recommended as nothing was a drama for him and cheap transport, would take us anywhere we wanted even on very short notice stayed at the Dynasty was the second time we stayed at this hotel and I must say it was even better than 2 years ago, the hotel was excellent and the facilites for the children were great my daughter loved the slide and had ber hair braided for 55,000, lots of young children and families in the same situations as us. The people of bali as always very friendly, it was a bit quite not a huge amount of tourist around loads of security around the hotel and shopping centers. Shopped at Centro (discovery plaza) a bit expensive compared to the rest of bali but some bargins to be had. Matahari department store was still well priced picked up some Body Shop gear at a good price. On the streets brough some t-shirts for 30,000 hats 15,000 and sunglasses 25,000. Lots of fun and bartering had by all. Did a day trip to the monkey forrest in Ubud this was good fun for the kids, the monkeys were well behaved. Rained 2 days we were away so we spent these days shopping in door in Denpasar. Shopped at Geneva homeware store great cheap shop fixed prices brought wind chimes for 25,000 and baskets with nets for 35,000. Did the waterbom park brought tickets at the hotel saved about $10 usd great day for the family. Anyway back to reality, have to return to work to pay for the next trip... Kellie
