We decided to go on this trip, kind of spur of the moment over 'duck in plum sauce' in a favorite Chinese restaurant one evening. Whilst counting our lucky stars because my husband has had a couple of health scares this year and he is now back to his old self. It was decided that life is too goddamn short to not stop and smell the roses or frangipani's! Also there was a window of only moderate activity in his busy work schedule after August so sometime in September would be ok. I booked it for the 1st. So off to Bali we went again,just the 2 of us this time (having taken the kids in January) for some serious 'US' time.
As usual I trawled this site like a woman possessed prior to making my bookings. We ended up with an itinerary of Padma Resort, Ko-ko-mo - Gili T, Komaneka Bisma - Ubud and Novotel Benoa.
We were kind of over the shopping thing...to a degree! So we spent just the first 2 days at the Padma so we could organise leather shoes and bags from "Made" at 234 Leather (wonderful,thanks for the recommendations) a fitting for dresses from Ayu Cintya - how adorable are these 2 sisters! and attempted without success to contact Mr.Honeyman for glasses.
I'll attempt to post more later but at the moment I have my chores to perform...blaaaah!
