Off to the Safari Park have heard it's worth the trip, Made our way to the Sanur Paradise Hotel to get the Park shuttle. got there at 9am on the bus and off we go, the road on the way is being renewed so was a bit of a rough trip over the dirt and pot holes. Did'nt quite know what to expect at the park but was pleasantly suprised when we arrived, very well organised and was well worth the trip to see all the animals..(not behind bars) and fish etc in the aquarium section. A show with elephants and another with orangutan's...very much like the shows they have at Sea World on the Gold Coast.The Safari ride in the airconditioned bus was great, lot's of stops to take photo's through the windows of the bus. The highlight was getting a picture taken with the young orangutan which Inge wanted to take home.
A realy good day just wondering around looking at all the animals..there is also a water park and a restaurant looking out at the lions area.
We had a very relaxing time at the Griya and i think yhe quality of the food in the area has gone up a notch since we were there last year.
Some place's we ate at:
Duck's Nutz - Food 8/10 - Cold Bintangs10/10
Wicked Parrot - Food 8/10 - 5/10 Warm beer but they sell Bali Cider, good with a big glass of ice.(not many places have the Cider.)
Tepanyaki - Food 9/10 - Warm Bintangs 3/10
Made's Warung - Food 8/10 - Drinks 7/10
Cinnamon - Food 9/10 - Drinks 7/10 - 2 times

Bonsai Cafe - Food 8/10 Drinks 9/10 revisited for drinkies 3 times
Benno's Cafe - Food 8/10 Drinks 7/10
Grand Bali Beach - Food 8/10 Drinks 8/10 only other place we found Bali cider.
Griya Santrian - The breakie was good with a lot of choice,the club sanwiches were great and the Monday beach bbq was excellent with a good band playing while your eating.
The service in all the places we at at was very friendly and would recomend to any one.
The girls had lot's of massages ath Intan & Alam(near Hardy's)and one next to the Wicked Parrot...awesomstone massage according to my wife.
To finish our trip we went into the Prada Lounge at the airport which was well worth the 100,00 Rp rather than try and find a seat out near our gate at 1am in the morning.
Overall we had a fantastic time and very relaxing, Great flight's both way's with Pacific Blue.
Can't wait to do it all again next year..hopefully.
