Lovely breakfast at Royal Beach , in the beachside cafe
A swim , just by ourselves in the tranquil garden pool, most people seem to gravitate to the large ocean front pool, whereas we are perfectly happy , reading and swimming in this garden pool , so quiet, hardly believe we are in a huge sprawling hotel.
Now for the big mistake for the trip, took a hotel shuttle bus to KUTA
I know,,I was warned, how bad could it be I thought?
Well now I know, VILE
We hated it, the crowds , the aggressive shop owners, the ugliness, the whole bad sad vibe.
Went to Matahari, underwhelming, Bagus Watches , nothing appealed and gave up and got a blue bird taxi back to a happier place.
Lesson learned, take note of experienced holiday makers.
Caught the taxi to Seminyak square and had a coffee at the funky cafe The Junction, very Paddington, loved the decor, took lots of photos.
Back to hotel and theyl inform me MamaSan is fully booked Whaaaaaa, my fault, should have been more organised.
Feeling a bit under the weather anyway with a sore throat so have a cocktail watching sunset then dine in house, really good mixed satay and Nasi Campur
Early night ,hoping to try La Lucciola for breakfast in the morning before the final part of our Bali trip heads to Sanur
