Day five Wednesday, Brekkie is first on my mind this morning as I wake up starving for some reason. I head to brekkie and ask if anyone has seen Alan this morning? Yasmin from the restaurant tells me no, so I ask her if she could ring his room joking I want to wake him up? She tells me am I sure or would I like to make the call thinking she will be in trouble? I tell he no its ok you call him and I will take the blame. LOL She rings his room and very apologetically asks if he is coming to brekkie I can hear in the background he is blaming me for putting her up to the call, well that's cool and Yasmin tells me he is on his way.

After brekkie we head off to go out to Celuk with our driver from the hotel. For those that do not know where Celuk is it's two-thirds the same way as Ubud. We are going there to look and most likely buy Silver, the place we go to is very good and now I have my silver polished while I'm there as I have bought two pieces in the past a heavy neck chain and bracelet. After handing over my silver I go into the main area after Alan to check out all the new and old stuff. I tried on a few rings but as per normal I tell them in a nice way that they make these rings for small people, although I am not tall I have a large right hand something to do with not being able to use my left one.

Anyway I end up making a purchase of a small silver horse which I will ad to my picture page over the weekend. It's some thing to behold and Alan purchased a couple of pieces being a horse and carriage and a small sailing ship. After our Celuk visit we head back to Kuta and go to the hotel to take our stuff back before heading out for lunch about 1.45pm. As per normal this week its either Legian garden or Nero's and in the end it's the winner is Nero's.

After a long enjoyable lunch we head off for a short shopping trip in Kuta square then back to the hotel, where we meet back at the pool bar for a quick dip and then I go to my room for a nanna nap and rest up till dinner.

At about 6.30 I get up and shower and dress again before I head out to the front of the hotel to meet Alan, we walk up the road and go to the Bali Aussie for dinner, walking past Legian garden we are asked by the girls that work there to come inside but we sadly decline and walk on. Have been to Bali Aussie a few times and find the food and service good but this visit start to feel that the place is looking a little sad and in need of a good clean and update.

After dinner I tell Alan well mate this is the third trip in a row I have not bought a watch not bad going, but times here to look so off we go heading off up Melasti st towards Legian street. I pass two or three places before going in to look at the fourth and don't find anything to my liking much to the stallholder's disbelief . He was great though showing me lots of watches and telling me the usual you like Rolex, me telling him I have many from last trips him saying one more, one more ? I did tell him that I was looking for the omega brand, well then it was game on he was looking and finding two ladies ones, I told him no good I want mans watch? Him saying you buy for your wife, I have no wife, him saying you buy for your girlfriend, me saying no girlfriend. Sorry mate I say as I walk on, after a few more sellers and a few more goes at getting me to buy I head home with no watches and feeling like I'm going ok but I will buy a couple before I go home, and after all I still have about 9 days yet!!

Well we head back to the hotel for a few drinks buy the pool and then off to b
