Booked with Nicki again, her service is the best !!
Flew Garuda out of Perth 5.15pm and return 12.40pm on the 18th.
Flight over good but they ran out of just about every alcoholic beverage on board which I'm sure is their clever plan and I cant say I blame them not wanting to let people get too drunk. Our flight was delayed as they boarded us without opur luggage being loaded so we had to sit on the tarmac for ages which was frustrating and made the flight seem extra long.
Landed pretty much on time and bussed it to the terminal where we were the only plane there but for some starnge reason we took ages to get through VOA. To pay the Visa was so quick then all the stamping took FOREVER !!! I think it was about 10.30pm by the time we got to the hotel .
Ill keep this brief if I can stop waffling on like that now!!
Stayed at The Lokha in Jln Padma, had emailed ahead to ask for s quiet room and got put in 306 which was on the road side !! SO noisy we spent one night there and pleasantly requested a move.....so next day got into room 212 which was a downgrade (bed size only really)as they were too full to move us .
First day 4th August had banana pancakes YUMMY and headed off for a walk down Padma Utara to Rum Jungle Rd then taxi'd to Bintang Supermarket to get my Bali sim working but it was to prove troublesome so we taxi'd to Carrefour and had a good look around and got supplies and had lunch them headed back to relax. Lanai for tea....Seafood Risotto and Grilled Mahi Mahi for us two.VERY NICE.
Tues 5th I went to look at the group of Villas named ANDARI which incorporates Villa Semara in Rum Jungle Rd...OMG they are STUNNING !! There are 2and 3 bedroom villas with each bedroom having an outdoor and indoor bathroom....absolutely perfect for 2 or 3 couples.
Our driver friend Rico took me to get some number plates made for my son and his footy coach.He took me to a guy in Kerobokan who makes the real ones and he doidnt speak english but luckily with Rico's help there were no problems and I got 3 for 35,000 ea made up in my choice of colours in 2 days.
Legian Snacks for Bumi Goreng ( with rice noodles)YUM.
Went to Melasti for a one hr manicure and pedicure which was not very relaxing as they sit you there at an odd angle so they 2 girls can work on you at once.AND I got flowers on my thimbs only as they are quite short and the older lady did a shocking job I reckon I could've done better myself !! Cost 206,000 ea and I'm sorry to all you Melasti fans bbut its starting to fell like a bit of a production line....I feel sorry for the girls as they are so busy and its like ....NEXT......
