Agenda- 10 day Sanur while children at Schoolies in Legian - (used as an excuse to go on girls trip for some serious sparing, shopping and eating no handbreaks ( husbands).
Flew Garuda from Syd on $273 return - Great flight and service , can't fault it... very smooth loved paying Visa in Sydney , so that when you arrive Denpasar you just get ushered through to baggage.
Accommodation - We usually stay in Villas but opted for Puri Ayu - 2 bedroom Emerald suite - absolutely fabulous no complaints, thou I wish they would bleach the sheets and towels ( i know that they are trying to be environmental but they really need it !)
Spa Treatments- Glo Spa fabulous - creme bath , hair cut and straightened and daughters baliage $145 , I love my new style!Daughter loves the baliage
Puri Santrian Spa - amazing 2 hour treatment , foot bath, scrub , massage , flower bath $100US for 2 people - gorgeous room with water fall and huge bath.
Had a massage on the beach , but she really hurt my neck so thank god the girls at Puri Santrian got the kink out....
Restaurants- Kesumas - Fabulous and soooo cheap... try the seafood Nasi Goreng, Charming - twice couldn't help ourselves, Massimos , Bennos , Bobbies,Cafe Batu Jimbar - Iced coffee the best! and in Legian - Sarong - this was so gorgeous.

We only ventured to Legian once to visit the girls and went to Discovery Mall - I still cannot understand why people stay in Kuta it is pathetic , we could not wait to get out....

Seminyak is really getting busy as well and the shopping is not cheap in fact the shopping is better in Sanur as there is some really gorgeous upmarket shops , bought a gorgeous beaded dress for $70 my Xmas dress. The goat hair bags from the shop on corner of roundabout in Sanur are amazing - bought 4 and no problem getting into Australia.

Went to Brasco Outlet great for men shopping spent $90 and bought 5 shirts , 5 shorts and Nike waterproof jacket.
Biarritz - ok bought a few things , but really wouldn't bother.I personally think Geneva is better , you can find a few different things there.
Hired pushbikes the whole time while in Sanur - rode everywhere , did our shopping , really is worthwhile ... looked at new villas to rent.
Weather - prefect everyday , luckily on our last day it started to rain.
Cooking Class - Bamboo Shoots - what fun! really enjoyed it and the food , do yourselves a favor loved the markets in the morning....

Air Asia-I flew back via KL as I decided to extend my holiday it was sensational. Had Red Carpet which meant lounge, priority on and off plane and food on board. Landed in KL 2.5 hours , beautiful city at night. Spent 3 hours in transit but it flew , they upgraded me to Premium bed seats - wow what an experience I actually slept and it was an amazing service , doona , pillows food etc I have now decided to only fly with Garuda and Air Asia.

Loved my short holiday .... now back planning our next ! Once again Sanur doesn't disappoint...miss my beach chairs and the water.....
