We woke up at 7.30am. The housekeeper came shortly and made us bfast. Although the exact same food as yday, it was still good.
The housekeeper left us after bfast was done. Of course we had to swim one last time in the private pool.
It was almost 11am (checkout time) by the time we were done. We had arranged for a driver and he arrived sharply. So, that marked the end of our luxurious stay. Was it fantastic? Well, it was nice to have such peace and quietness and our own private pool. It would have been nicer if the villa wasn't tucked so far in ulu land. The air con in the room didn't always give us the coldness that we wanted and so we had to turn on the ceiling fan. The ceiling fan was loud and rocking. Then I kept imagining the ceiling fan dropping on us and sliced us. Gulp, not a nice picture in my head. Nevertheless, a thumbs up overall.
We had wanted to visit Tanah Lot, a temple on a rock that can only be accessed during low tide. I read how beautiful it is. Tanah Lot was about 45mins drive from our villa. The car ride wasn't too bad.
This beautiful sight greeted us. We were at the cliff facing Indian Ocean.
It was low tide! We walked on the rock that connects to the temple. The temple is not accessible to tourists, only to worshippers during ceremony.
We didn't spend too much time in Tanah Lot; the sun was scorching hot! Even Daddy Lim was worried that he would get sun burnt. We had lunch in Tanah Lot before setting our way to Kuta, where our hotel was. The ride took about 1hr plus.
I had thought that somebody would nap in the car but we didn't have that luxury. Finally, Bali Dynasty Resort. A nice welcome drink and Mr Towel Man who greeted us in the room. So cool!
We explored the hotel as it was about 3pm and too hot to swim. There was a mini playground and some trampoline jumping. We also had a private stretch of beach right behind the hotel. It was too hot to play at the beach too and many mini stall owners trying to tout business.
We decided to leave the hotel to explore the rest of Kuta. The Centro shopping center was about 5 mins walk, to the right of the hotel. At the other end of the shopping mall, it was the beach and fairly crowded with people. The kids had a lovely time chasing the waves and running and way from it.
We left when the sun was setting. It was beautiful.
We had A&W for dinner. Isn't it funny how Singaporeans always go for A&W overseas? Haha. Then Daddy Lim wanted to shop at some Hurley shop. There was this structure with their logo and the boy had to climb the box. The next moment, we heard a loud crack and saw his foot through the box. Zzzzz.
We had to pay for the repair. The shop supervisor called his manager and told us that the repair would cost $2 million (about S$200). I didn't know if there would be a better way out but did speak to the manager over the phone and the manager offered us a 50% discount. We eventually paid 800k (about S$80). I was wondering how much i should bargain. This kind of thing also can bargain. Faint. Luckily the boy didn't get hurt and I do hope that he learnt his lesson.
I was indeed upset with the boy for the rest of the evening. Want to bite him ah.
