Been home a week and starting to have withdrawls back to cooking washing etc etc. This trip just my husband and myself flew Jetstar and let me say never again I think I will bite the bullett and pay extra and go Garuda, Jetstar staff could do with some personel skills and to top it of on the way home on take off the oven came flying out of the wall, we flew Denp - Darwin- Brisbane- Newcastle.
Stayed at Peninsula Beach Resort Tanjung Benoa our last week of a promo we bought back in 2009 would I become a member? thought about it but no not really for us, I think its good to experience different accomodation, we both like this area very much and there is a plethera of accomodation there for various budgets, had a look at Rumah Bali which is owned by Bumbu Bali Rest and cooking school very nice but down side not on beach $72 night with breakfast good value, and also our next choice I think Kind Villa Bintang Resort great property ticks all our boxes.
Shopping well my favourite pastime, went to Sukawarti markets great place, Hardys Sanur and Nusa Dua prices are good, Biaritz this time usually go to Geneva but thought we would have a change I personally like Geneva better, went to Sanur beach markets, Melasti St markets , seminyak and Garlic lane which brings me to Dede picked up his name on here before we went what a lovely man and perfect CDs.
Ate at several places at Tanjung Benoa, Laguna was good, Tree always a favourite, Green Leaf good as well and a few others all good, only one bad one I think call Casa Blanco has kids out front dressed in tradional outfits ended up walking out bad service and not very clean, but this was only bad experience oh and the the Queens Indian just opened a week ago at Tanjung Benoa absolutely beautiful.
This time we did the Bali Hai Dinner cruise thoroughly enjoyed it food was good entertainement fun, only thing it was thundering and storming whilst we were out in harbour but really didnt matter.
Didnt even go into Kuta first time ever that we havent and to tell you the truth didnt feel I missed out so many other great spots to go and see.
Hope this wasnt too long and boring but I get so much out of others JBRs.
