Ok Paseo...I still have two hours until the taxi arrives to take us to the airport!!
We usually stay in Seminyak but find ourselves drawn to Legian for shopping and favourite places to eat.I love Double Six street,I have a favourite clothing shop where I am welcomed back each time like an old friend.JP's Warung in Dhyana Pura is my husbands favourite hangout.(Seminyak end I know) Since our last visit they have extensively renovated.We loved the atmosphere of the "old" JP's and are wondering how the new version will be.(Website looks very chic)
We are staying at Villa Surati , and are looking forward to exploring through Padma Utara,Garlic Lane,Rum Jungle etc as we have only walked that way briefly before.
Long trips are off this time.My husband travels extensively with his employment and just needs the chance to chill.The main plans are restaurant visits recommended by forumites.I am definitely heading to Biku as I have not visited before and have been reading about Princess Asri and the wonderful "high Tea"
I am having an outfit tailored,all arranged and will look at having some prescription glasses made as well.These are both new ventures for me, driven by the recommendations from this forum.
Other than that lots of shopping and like always, trying to soak up the atmosphere and joy of just being back.
New Years in Bali is a new thing for us as well.This timeframe was chosen by our son and his partner who were going to be with us this trip.A minor interuption...a bub!!She is a week overdue as I speak.So a new addition to our family will arrive any day.Another reason to celebrate for us all!
We have friends waiting for us to arrive and a restaurant on the beach at Legian booked for NYE.
"Ok ok, I am getting in the shower now." I am being yelled at by the old boy! Terima kasih Paseo, you have kept me occupied and the time,which I thought would drag,has passed quickly!!
