This morning I woke up a bit sick,ie had to run to the toilet a few times. Luckily I was still ok to go out shopping though, so it was all good :grin: :good:

We got some more DVDs and then hit the market stalls. Stuff we bought:
-Paul Frank t-shirts/singlets (good quality type with stripes) 20,000rp
-Sunglasses 15,000 > 20,000rp
-Paul Frank bags 20,000 > 25,000rp
-Cheaper quality t-shirts 15,000rp (some still had Paul Frank)
-XL Adults T-shirts 20,000rp
-Fairy costume 25,000rp
-Caps 15,000rp

I had skipped breakfast because I had felt sick, and when I arrived back at the hotel pool at 3pm I realised how starving I was. I then did the *stupidest* thing ever; wrongly assuming that I was now fine I scoffed a steak sandwhich and chips (70,000rp). This made me way sicker!! :o :o :crazy:

Luckily I was well enough to go to the 1hr massage booked at Sicilia. They came to pick us up at the hotel at no extra charge. The 1hr massage cost 66,000rp each including tax. The spa setting is very nice, it isn't airconditioned but is breezy with fans and isn't hot at all. I liked it better than Melasti because it was quieter and more relaxing. The actual massage was fantastic, and you got a warm shower afterwards. The staff were'nt very friendly but were ok. The only thing that sort of ruined it was that I was in the same room as Kate and Kate's lady kept coughing every 2 minutes. This was incredibly annoying, coupled with the fact that I felt sorry for little Kate (she always gets the raw deal). The first thing she said to me afterwards was, "she was coughing in my face". Oh well. Hang on for my later massage experiance (better than Sicilia)

Kate had an ear infection so Dad bought some ear drops at the Apotek for 55,000rp. Here you would need a prescription for them but there you didn't.

We had dinner at Glory. I was very annoyed because I had to eat white rice and nothing else. The juices were the BEST we had anywhere, the mango and bannana chocolate juices were SUPURB. The prices were okay, 40,000rp for satays and Kate refused to eat them. The food was satisfactory, quite plain. Prawns cost 75,000rp and they have very fresh seafood. What really made the evening was the delicious mango mouse for dessert. It was actually a homemade mango sorbet with vanilla ice cream and fresh mango strips (BLISS). The staff there are great, Jai entertained us with his amazing magic for ages. There is also a lovely garden setting. Check this place out, its a lot of fun. You can get jugs of cocktails for 50,000rp too! :shocked: :grin:
