After getting back to the Jayakarta and was unpacking etc, it was then that i realised there was no hairdryer. On the brochure it said they had hairdryers so i was a bit concerned seeing as i have extremely curly hair which i have to blowdry straight.
I contemplated buying a hairdryer but thought, what the hell, im on holidays. I spent the rest of the time walking around looking like a golliwog. oh well, cest la vie.
General shopping saw me not really buying very much - i think i ended up buying 4 of the shirred dresses 40,000 each, a metal gecko for 70,000 (near ketuts shop) a couple of those filigree ball pendants 50,000 (my friend not happy she paid 100,000 for hers) a handbag 180,000 and lots of dvds.
After feeling a bit shopped out we decided to get a massage at Salon Hana on Jl Benesari, the kids had a quick 10 minute massage and then had enough. The boss took the kids back to the hotel while i had an hours massage. Massages at salon hana are 39,000 - bloody cheap!
Fantastic massage, she did that thing on my head where they kind of quickly scratch your head with their fingers. After the massage, looking at the mirror i realised i had morphed from a golliwog to a scarecrow. It was not a pretty sight.
After trying to flatten down the hairy mess with my hat i walked down the road a bit further, just looking around before i went back to the hotel. It got a bit hot so i got a guy to take me on the back of his scooter nearly all the way back for 20,000.
We met up with Lenny and her lovely family at the hotel, had a few drinks with them, they had quite a long holiday staying at a couple of different hotels (lucky them). They left the day before us, it was nice to chat to them, her hubby and mine seemed to enjoy each others company, yakking away, hopefully we can keep in touch.
The boss went down to Balistones, I couldnt be bothered (the stuff we bought last year is still in crates!) he bought a whole stack of stuff, they are going to ship us a new water feature to replace the one they sent that was wrong. He also bought some pots, statues, those wall feature things and god knows what else. Felicia and Leo invited us to look at their house and to spend the day with them doing water sports and having lunch and dinner with them but we declined as we were pretty much just vegging out. I didnt go to the house but the others did. They said it was lovely with lots of water features (of course) and just a lovely balinese style house. They were very friendly the boss said, lovely people.
Waterbom park, this was good as usual. Kids had a ball. The boss wanted to go down one of the slides with our oldest son but when he got up the top of the slide, they said he couldnt go on any of the slides because he was wearing jeans. He was wearing cotton denim look alike shorts, he tried to explain they werent denim but they didnt care. I offered to go outside and buy him a pair of board shorts but he wouldnt on principle LOL
he ended up getting his money refunded and just going shopping. The slides were good, kids did the climbing wall, we all did lazy river (my favourite)all in all was a good day.
We didnt do much else really, didnt even make the safari park between the kids getting sick and other stuff it was more of a relaxing holiday really.
Any questions please ask
