I booked car/s through Made Arsana at SW.
The Avanza was actually owned by Wayan, the tall young friendly fellow from reception. I like them earning some Rp.
I think the APV is owned by a family member, its the mauve one I drove last year.
(Small Made from reception has left SW. He always aspired to a business of his own and I heard he and his wife have opened a laundry) (Also, no laundry facilities at SW now. Ni Luh has changed roles and is room cleaning. We used Tony's laundry, down the lane opposite and I can still smell the lovely scent on the clothes as I pop them away at home.)
Lisa would be back at her village now as there are many cremations happening around this time. They have 'mass' cremations every 5 years. She went back for a few days to assist preparations, but her, Made and Kadek returned to Legian. Wise move cause as you can imagine she was able to earn a good 'quid' from our group.
This time, Lisa did like strikes of bamboo in black white and silver, on my finger nails. They looked stunning, the best I have ever seen. Apparently she worked with Paula at Puri Raja for a month, to fill in and learned some new decorations.
She is the most creative mani/pedicurist I have seen.
Back home my nail lady was amazed at her creativity and all done by hand, no stickers.
