Had hair washed and straigthen with irons at Yogie salon next to Bintang supermarket for 32000 rph bargain as my hair is very long and curly.

Leather long boots made at Tommys leather for $70 au. Very happy with boots.
Had Botox done at BMIC hospital with Robyn the australian assistant.
Did the Bali zoo night dinner and show. Would recommend the night show as its not as busy or hot and the food was amazing. Pick up drop off dinner one cold drink bag of food to feed animals hosted zoo walk and Balinse dance show all for $42 au.
Ate at the usual places food great service slow Bali style ha ha.
Had photos put onto canvas at Mataharis not the best canvas I prefer Shoots and will go back to Shoots next visit.
Found Glow to be very expensive for all salon treatments but they do do acylic nalis if in need of a repair and paint. New salon in Discovery Mail also now does acylic and gel nails.
Carrfour was closed for a few days now back open with massive steel structure around the entire building after earth quake.Little confronting entering supermarket hoping building was not going to collapse. Great finds in the beauty department girls if you have the time to look bargains to be found.
Hired push bikes for 2 weeks 10 000 rp per day.
New beach bar in front of the Bungie jump where you sit on bean bags for sunset drinks so relaxing instead of wooden sunbeds.
Weather very hummid lots of rain flooded some nigths with major roads blocked off.Road into Kuta blocked 3 nights in a row.
Taxi drivers in Kuta at night will NOT turn meters on at all after 10 pm. Kuta to Jayakarta hotel 100 000 rp at night but during the day around 25000 to 30000 depending on traffic. Not happy if your out at night wanting to get home.This is for either taxi company.
Beach sellers in front of Jayakarta still hot on your heels I realise it is there living but just some days peace would be nice. Further along the beach in front of Kumala Panti there not as bad when you say no they do leave you alone.
Went to Unagi for the first time instead of Geneva. Alot cleaner and you have your own personal assistant that walks around with you carrying all your shopping. Fixed prices with everything in one store.
Went to Ketut fixed price still good for general stuff but doesnt have the lastest range in cloths for women or girls that the markets have.
Looking forward to next holiday back in Bali. Fly Jetstar no problems arrive and departed on time. Arriving at customs in bali through in 15 minutes waiting for luggage to unload was the only hold up.
Hope this information may helps others. Back to work we go to save all over again for next holiday.
