Had a few more quieter days due to the weather.
Decided time for a 1 hr massage then so nice followed up with a 1 hr Facial at Melasti spa very nice paid 90,000 each inc tax.. By chance enquired as to what they use.. Martha Tilaar as i had heard good reports 0n BTF thought about buying some which they sold there. Bought the age recovery( needing that ) moisturiser,mask,toner these were all 50,000 each and the mask especially feels great afterwards.
Had a babysitter from the Patra come to our room costs 25,000 per hr and much better when you want to head out a bit later when kids are tired. My friend really wanted an Indian fix so rang Made who picked us up and decided on the Pride of india i think it was called in Seminyak. Had a buffet that night 50,000 each and great food and nice to have a quiet child free night..
Had a meal at the Dynasty in the Irish Pub always great food if you feel more like western food .
Hadnt got to shop at Mataharis at all so had planned to go there after vising other beach sellers closer to Kuta to give them some clothes gifts etc. Met Agung who is chief of security on the beach who showed us the turtle eggs but wouldnt be hatched for weeks yet so unfortunately will miss it next time. Asked where we were the day before as media there for paper but just friends boys photo taken for the Denpasar Post that was in that days edition re tourism. Also had a short interview with a tv channel but left before it went to air.
Anyway considering we had a taxi waiting thinking we would be 5 mins continued on with a changed plan THe Billabong Sale...
The reception girls told us it was starting that day and being shopaholics im sure they thought we just needed to fill up our bags just that little bit more..
The Billabong Sale was held in a large empty hall type building above the supermarket in the Kuta Galleria area of shops. Think Cathy and i were the only aust. there with lots of well off Indonesians. They had heaps of stock with 50-90% off. My head was spinning thinking what to get and more to the point what would fit in luggage..
Bought Hannah one piece bathers $2 pr, small hanbags for younger girls about $4 each ,Makeup holders $4 each t shirts girls $14 etc etc etc These were the real label and by the sign they have their next sale around the end of May/June. Cathy spent up big and had to return to the hotel for more funds and luckily Made arrived to take her back. Sadly they had put our more stock enticing her to increase the pile of bags she already had waiting along with her credit card bill
Overweight slightly on departure but no charge this time thank goodness.
Anyway 2 more sleeps and off again cant wait.... Judi
