Bali Day 4: HardRock Hotel

I was deciding between Bali Dynasty, which we last stayed and HardRock Hotel. We eventually decided on HR and it wasn't a choice to regret.

Bfast on the 3rd morning was a breeze - eggs and more eggs please. We did last minute packing and left the villa at 10am. Goodbye to the villa that provided us with such comfortable stay for the last 3 nights. It was such great fun with the big group.

It was the same mini van that took us from the airport and was again a tight squeeze. I sat with Zaky and the girls and almost lost my life - the kids tortured me. Sob. I wanted to have nothing to do with the kids for the rest of the day. Lol.

I must be the happiest person to finally arrived at HR. While we were checking in, the kids were so noisy, running around playing tap and screaming at the same time. I pity the other hotel guests.

The rooms were not ready except for the Chan family's. We headed out for lunch shortly after our Welcome drink.

Restaurants and shops lined the street and the sun was shining brightly, it was so different from Ubud.

While waiting for lunch to be served, I brought Zaky for a walk and he was lured into a shop that sells imitation basketball T-shirt. The sales was so quick to leech him to buy a T-shirt, asking him which team he likes and which basketballer he hearts. They are pro. Within seconds, Zaky was presented with a Jordan shirt. I was quoted IDR600k, which is a freaking S$60! With this kind of quote, I didn't have much idea how much to bargain. I eventually paid INR150k and still left feeling that I was a carrot head.

After lunch, the kids wanted to try the fish spa.

It was funny how they were all screaming in agony and excitement at the same time. At one point, Auntie J took ER's place and all the fish went to her, leaving almost none for the kids. She had so much dead skin on her feet.

We didn't have any agenda in the afternoon, which also meant that it was swimming time! HR has a few slides.

The water was so cold but the kids seemed not to be affected at all. Seriously, if we didn't stop the kids, they can soak in the water the entire day.

The kids adjourned back to the room for more soaking in the bathtub. The room was awesome with 2 big beds.

Zaky didn't soak long in the tub though bcos there were quite some good free movies to choose from.

We had dinner at HR Cafe.

The dinner ended with the live band back at the hotel.

It was an awesome night and the beds were so comfy. We all slept well.
