I have been watching the forum for awhile but have never posted anything, and this is my first attempt at a JBR, so hope u find it interesting.
Stayed at Santika Hotel, in the bungalows.I lve this hotel, but I'm not too sure about all the modernising and the renos that are going to be done to the bungalows, as I love the "Bali" feel it has.
They seriously have the best breakfast buffet though, and the staff are great.Nothing is too much trouble.
Had meals at all the local restaurants, and really like the Queens of India. Also enjoyed Garis Garis, which used to be C line. Heaps of people around, and generally a good vibe, apart from a few yobbos.
Caught up with the ladies at the beachfront for a manicure etc. They know me well now, so dont get anyone hasseling to buy stuff. They just leave me in peace, so I can sit and enjoy the passing parade.
Did some shopping for furniture, and ended up buying a table and some stone items to be shipped back to Perth. We have used Trish before and very happy with her service. Very helpful and she gave us the place to go, so saved us running all over the place.
We just have to pick up our stuff in a few weeks from her Balcatta warehouse. Certainly takes the stress out of it. Next time we will get the tiles etc for our bathroom reno.
Just looking for flights for out next trip as I have found thats the only cure for "post bali sickness"
People keep asking why we dont go anywhere else for holidays, but really I think of Bali as my "holiday house". It has everything I need and from Perth is a very easy 3+ hours. What more could you want?
