Anyway, lets get down to the final installment of our trip to Bali over Christmas. As with the two previous posts, the latter part of our holiday was also filled with socialising and eating a lot of food. Standard.
I also managed to capture some pretty amazing sunsets and take a good few selfies.
This snap was taken in Motel Mexicola, a quirky little Mexican near the centre of Seminyak. We enjoyed some tasty tacos and a yummy cocktail or two.
After a few drinks and two new friends later, we made our way down to Potato Head (in the rain) - a highly popular bar and restaurant. I ordered the best looking and tasting cocktail on the menu, Espresso Martini, with a yummy cookie to boot. Jack got a little jealous...so the waiter handed him one too.
Looking slightly soaked and bedraggled hiding from the rain.
We didn't want to call it a night so we made our way back to the hotel soaked from the downpour and entered Pop! lounge bar in the hotel basement. We had the whole place to ourselves so we kicked back and enjoyed our last drink. That was after I took a snap of the bar area...
Cool eh!?
The next day arrived and so did the miserable weather. We found it so difficult to do things when it wasn't sunny, so we took advantage of our hotel cinema. A comfy sixteen seater with waitress service. Now that is what I call a perfect rainy afternoon well spent.
The cinema came with big comfy reclining rocking chairs and a nice little blanket to snuggle under.
We didn't get to choose the film but we were pretty happy with the whole set up.
We greedily ordered some popcorn and a butt naked dog to share with a lovely fresh cold Bintang too. Perfect.
Once the rain cleared up we put on our glad rags and headed for a nearby restaurant - Sambal Shrimp. A traditional Balinese type restaurant with extra tasty food.
I told you we ate a lot!
We munched our way through some beautifully fresh calamari and a spicy shrimp noodle dish until the main man arrived consisting of garlic buttered shrimp with rice and a fresh salad. The food was superb and so tasty. I would certainly recommend giving it a try.
Our final day arrived.
Deeply saddened by this fact we decided to do as much as we possibly could.
We enjoyed some time by the pool and indulged some more at a nearby spa. I had a manicure whilst Jack had a foot massage - this was then followed by some ear candling. What a weird concept... I swear I could hear ten times better upon leaving the spa. It felt weird, yet amazing.
We then hit the beach to meet our new friends Deb and Mia. This is where I got a little snap happy.
Who could blame me with this view!
The amazing technicolor umbrellas of La Plancha, Seminyak.
Fireworks lighting up the night sky. Amazing.
Bali you were amazing.
We hope to experience your laid back culture, starry skies and balmy days in the near future.
