I start the day at 6am with a can of Nescafe Mocha and my Kindle out on the balcony. As tired as I am, I can't resist starting the day with a bit of "me time" before Miss 6 is awake & making her diva demands!
We've arranged for a driver to pick us up at 8.30am today. We had originally thought we'd hit Waterbom today but Mr 3 has severely sunburnt arms from Day 2 when we left the kids by the pool with the Dads so we need to keep him out of the sun. I suggest a morning at Lollipops play centre instead - the older 2 kids can play in the water playground as well as inside and Mr 3 will be happy enough inside. We make a few stops on the way, picking up & dropping off laundry, changing money & a visit to the Apotik for Calendula cream and ointment for Mr 3's sunburn (the Calendula is also great for mozzie bites).
We got to Lollipops around 9.30 and spent 3 hours there - the kids had a ball & if they're happy, we're happy!
Headed for Mal Bali Galleria afterwards for lunch at Ryoshi and some shopping at the Hypermart and Matahari. Food was great at Ryoshi as usual and good value. We bought lunch and drinks for 8 people (including our driver Jaya) for RP 450,000.
Stocked up on some gorgeous embellished T-shirts for Miss 6 at Matahari (only AU $8 each) and some pretty cotton dresses (buy 1, get 1 free), plus some sandals for her and a pair of kids high heeled wedges (I will clarify - they are only for playing "dress ups" not for everyday before anyone flames me!).
They have an offer at the moment when you spend over a certain amount - you get a RP 50,000 discount voucher to use on another purchase. I need a new wallet and I picked up a gorgeous orange leather one on sale and with my 50,000 discount voucher it only cost RP 310,000. It is leather inside and out and a larger size wallet so I was pretty chuffed with that bargain!
Also stocked up on Biokos at the Hypermart - 6 jars of 40s anti-wrinkle moisturiser, 3 of the night cream, 1 cleanser and 2 makeup remover all for only AU $53. They had some great specials on Olay too for anyone who's interested - Regenerist moisturiser was only $8 a bottle.
Stopped off at J Co on the way out for some takeaway donuts - no visit to Bali Galleria is complete without our J Co fix :o)
We got back to the hotel and the kids went into the kids club at 5pm so we arranged for them to have dinner there at 6.30. Hubby & I went out and picked up takeaway pizza & pasta from a little place a couple of mins away and ate dinner in peace on the balcony with a couple of glasses of our 2nd bottle of duty-free wine then once Miss 6 was in bed I went downstairs to the Spa for my Ayurvedic Shirodhara massage.
What can I say - it was sheer bliss. Well worth every cent - I am so relaxed right now I can hardly find the energy to type! My massage yesterday was nice but this was really special.
Not sure what tomorrow has in store yet, but I am happy just thinking about spending another day here :o)
