To bring up to date. Hubby and me, staying at the padma hotel and loving it in our deluxe chalet, but whilst speaking to other people here who were in the garden deluxe "club" villas think we may well think about booking the"club" next time.
People we met told us that the first couple of days in the hotel, they did not actually leave the hotel for dinner as when they had ate and drank what was on offer they just fell into bed for the first couple of nights and then ventured out to enjoy other places.
Anyway we always just enjoyed breakfast at the hotel, and most days lounged round the pool. Now like most women i like shopping BUT not lots of it, and my hubby likes it less than me. Anyway a couple of days into the holiday, off we set, taxi to the discovery mall,loved looking at the marks and spencers shop and dorothy perkins shop but didn't buy a thing. Looked and drooled at "bread talk" but didn't buy anything as we had just had a major breakfast,but as i keep on saying "next time".
As we had stayed at the "Ramada" on our previous trip we ventured towards there when we left the shopping centre. I hate bartering so just wanted to go to a couple of fixed price shops to pick up a few things ,anyway hot and sweaty we were by the end of our walk, ended up at jenny's past the ramada,down the lane and as far as you can go ,great no bartering but she was trying to tell me to try things on, could hardly get my clothes off never mind try anything on. First purchases and happy. A couple of bintangs on the way back to our hotel, a sleep, a shower and out again
Day off tomorrow so will post my last notes tomorrow, hope i'm not boring you all ,
