Arrived home Sunday night after 2 fantastic weeks in Bali. Stayed at the Adhi Dharma Hotel, hotel great, staff fantastic. Had a ground floor poolside room which was brilliant location, able to sit on porch whilst 8 yr old was in the pool. First time for our kids 16 & 8yrs, and it was great to see Bali through their eyes. Had some fantastic meals out mainly in Jl Benesari (Enhay Cafe, Warang Wulan, WR Wina, Ettamogah Pub), did venture a bit further and also had good meals at La Porchetta, Indo National, Uncle Norm's and had to take the kids for the obligatory Sate at The Pub. Very quiet over there, Adhi Dharma Hotel & Cottages combined occupancy between 20 - 30%. Security has been tightened, and can honestly say we felt very safe. Highlight of our trip was visiting our sponsor child at SD3 Sembung, it was our first visit and Made was very shy and a bit overwhelmed, but it was a fantastic experience for our whole family. Did heaps of shopping, eating, swimming and relaxing and had an awesome family holiday.
Thanks to everyone on the Forum - your hints and tips were invaluable (especially about the girls in Poppies 2 with the friendship bracelets - saw a few people get caught).
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
