well what a holiday full of relaxion,shopping and eating.this was my 11th visit to bali and we had a great time as always.There were a few hiccups with accommodation not as great as would liked it to be we had 2 nights at adi cottages in ubud very nice hotel and the rooms we had very fantastic,1 night at safari park there family rooms are excellent 2 large bedrooms rooms,lounge area and 2 bathrooms all this overlooking the pool while we were there we went on the new safari night feed it cost 25us well worth it for the expression and excitement of my gran daughter miss O when the zebras poked the heads in jeep for carrots.
finally found s&s went looking for dennis he was there that day maybe next time we may run into him.
we visited the amlapura orphanage lovely people kadek does a great job,i took over clothing and we went to makro for supplies,she showed us around and my gran daughter was quite taken with kadek she wants to visit again maybe in october.
We stayed at the aneka beach hotel very dissapointed rooms need maintanance which will not be done as the hotel is going to be pulled down in 2 years they have already started out the front.
we visted the croc farm i must admit i would not recommend it i was totally shocked i wish it would close.
Butterfly farm was great very educational for small children they have a breeding room and you can go in to hold butterflies that was a great day for miss O.
Monkey forest as always they are a bit aggressive 1 monkey fell in ove with this poor girl it really liked her breast and bottom.
Miss O visited the zoo and bird park with her mum she said it was great
