We returned to SGI in poppies Kuta yesterday after 3 very relaxing nights on Gili T. The fast boat over and back wasn't anywhere near as bad as I had been told and apart From a bit too much sun on the top deck it was actually quite enjoyable!
Gili T has a character all it's own and certainly lived up to our expectations. We stayed at The Beachouse which is very well situated and the rooms were lovely and big, especially enjoyed our big outdoor bathroom!
We were advised to change our money in Kuta before leaving for Gili and we were
Glad we did as difference in the rate was about 600 to 700rp less.
On our second day there, hubby, myself and hubbies best friend hired push bikes to circumnavigate the island. Now I have been told it only takes about one and a half
hours to walk around, but we were in no hurry and there were lots of cute little bars and restaurants to explore as well. So after many, many, many bintang stops and
vodka stops and sangria stops......well it took us about 6 hours, but sooo much fun and I only fell off the bike once...bonus!
That night hubby and I had dinner at Scallywags, we ordered a 1 kg lobster with garlic sauce ( 60k per 100 grms ) and small Bbq ribs, they also had a salad bar which had
quite a good selection of salads.
The only slightly disappointing thing was the price of the massages, after paying only
60k rp in both Seminyak and Kuta, 250k seemed a bit of a leap for a foot massage! ( I
still enjoyed it tho).
Having a quiet day today, last night was a catch up at Secret Garden restaurant with
some friends, So was another late night.
Have had a lovely massage this morning and then lunch at Tom Yum (?) in the lane
between SGI and K#T#H# lunch was amazing, my prawns with cashews in Oyster sauce served with rice were a mere 23k! Meeting hubbies brother and wife on the beach at Eddies bar at 4 so could be another big night.
The dollar hit 10000 rp today, although it has been very close for a few days.
Forgot to mention in my first post that I had my (dark and reasonable long) hair style cut and colored at Johnny Anrean at discovery, they did an excellent job and only cost 360k rp, nearly a hundred dollars less than back home.
Have an appointment tomorrow at 911 dental for a check and clean.
We have only one week left of our holiday now, can't believe how fast the last 2 have gone, so I intend to make the most of it, Cheers
