Flew Guarda Airlines 14.55 out of Perth, had requested emergency seats for my daughter and I. 201cm and 191cm respectfully which was great.
Accommodation
Stayed at the Kuta Paradiso in Tuban. Nice motel room over looking the swimming pool on the third floor. Breakfast was basic with Australian food/ Japanese food/ and Indonesian food (I think they are trying to cover all base's and not mastering any). No access to beach path or have to walk through Kuta markets to beach. This is a good place if you are older and looking for a quiet time. Has rails in bath, walk in shower, rails in pool, and lifts and so on.
Meals
Daddy, Mudi, Sheppy, Uncle Norms all of which be had visited last year Ocean beach, Legends and Sendok which we visited this year all OK with the pick being Ocean beach
Shopping
Clothes at Dianne's and Rama art shop
Silver from UC's
Wife had swimwear made at Climax and brought the material at Timur Jaya for 62,000 Rupiah per meter (very good price- Tried Dempersar but no good)
Youngest had wrist bands with class names made by Bobby (across from Sheppy's)
Leather belt and bags from Bali Brumby
Massage and Waxing
Bali Spa in Seminyak. Had my chest and back waxed in Australia for my wife's birthday and she was very grateful in January so I thought I would do it again in May for her (and me I should say). Was a lot quicker in Bali as they use wider stipes and curing wax under the arm and lower down. I had booked and planed this before I left.
Holiday
Did not do any trips this year but mostly stayed around pool and went out shopping and lunch and dinner each night. Eldest daughter took laptop and spent half her time on face book and some war game which she could have done at home. Lots of walking of a morning for me with my I pod on. Went to Bali beach shack for the He/she show which the family through was funny when they dragged me up on the stage. Meant a girl that turned 21 so we went to Uncle Norms for her birthday. Washed clothes up near the Dynasty as that is where we have stayed in the past. Money was 8250 to 8025 when we were there.
Flew home on the 13.55 flight after spending 2 hour in one of the lounges(300,000 for 4 ) Not happy with the flight home as we had been promised the emergency seats only to broad the plane to find we were one row out(this is after splitting the family up to accommodate us)
Spent 12 days relaxing in Bali with the only thing I remember in the flight home. Bit of sour taste to finish with
