Sorry about the spelling :P
After over a year i was itching to get my feet back into the black bali sand and feel the rush of heat as i stepped off the plane...
We were Bali bound on a thursday night on the evening AirAsia flight. I have now flown airasia many a times and each time the flights have been terrific - this was no exception. the plane was only 3 quarters full which meant my partner and i and our other coupled friends had at least 3 seats per couple (meant we could strech out). Through immigration, customs and luggage no problems - we had extra alcohol but did not have to pay!
Was met with a warm smile and a how the bloody hell are ya from our good friend jack and with that we were wisked away to Three Brothers Inn. The hotel was fantastic and i would stay there again in a heartbeat. Rooms were spacious and the outside bathrooms were beautiful. The pool could do with a few more sunbeds and the breaky could do with an overhall but overall i loved every second of our three brothers stay.
On the friday had a quick walk up Garlic lane to say hello to some of our friends and quickly retired to the hotel crack the vodka. Went to Billys for dinner (a family tradition) and enjoyed many Billys 69s and Illusion jugs. Agus and the boys got me onto the arak which was a total mistake but before long my friend S and i were behind the bar making drinks with J and B my partner out taking orders. The patrons at Billys were fantastic that night! As the place closed, the boys organised some bikes for us and off the Paddys we went - was awesome and returned home on bike around 4am.
Saturday i was dead. Hangover from hell. Went to yogya to try and keep some nasi goreng and ayam goreng down - couldnt. Retreated back to the room and slept until 3 when i thought i better get on with it as such a short trip and moved to sit in the pool and drink my vodkas :) Hair of the dog or licking the dogs balls as we call it is definetly the best medicine. That night went for dinner at Sheppys. LOVE SHEPPYS! best garlic mushrooms i have ever had and highly reccomend this place to everyone! Again back at Billys then onto Paddys and bikes home.
Sunday was great as we had more family arrive - my parents were already there any accompanying us on many of our adventure (minus paddys). The J and B were not well on sunday morning after a few too many jack daniels on saturday night. We went back to Sheppys in the morning to watch the footy, had a massage then retired to the pool for reading, tanning and drinking. Went to Lamonds for dinner and it was good. Service could have been faster but hey we were on Bali time. They made the strongest margarita i have ever tasted! Onto Billys then went to a club on beach rd. cant remember what its called but was bloody expensive. Only went to see Sammy our friend Dj but moved on quickly to Paddys and Bounty. Bikes home. Only time i had a bad experience on the bike. My guy pulled over and wanted me to get off for no reason (that i was aware). Was scared so started snapping photos of everything around me - my thinking was at least if i was murdered people would know where? ended up getting home - was quite shaken but a few more drinks at the pool around 3am made that feeling disappear.
Monday was our last day. We picked up our shopping on Garlic lane and relaxed. Drinks at legends then over to Billys for dinner. Jungle juice and illusions again. Didnt head to Paddys as had a 9am flight. so went home more drinks and a midnight swim.
Tuesday 9 am airasia flight no problems, again extra seats so could all lie down and sleep.
