Bali Bali Day 4: Surfing and Bodyboarding

Nana missed her night dose of medicine bcos she skipped dinner. She woke up at 6ish, grumpy, in pain and irritated. To allow medicine, we headed for bfast at 6ish. 

The buffet spread was good. We are happy people when there is pick and choose bfast. 



The restaurant has a corner for kids. The corner serves juices, pancakes, cereal and plenty of sweet stuff. Sugar rush kids in the morning? Hmmmm... 

Nana was feeling so much better. I wasn't sure if it was the full tummy or the medicine. Either way, it works. 

Daddy Lim and the kids were happy to catch a movie in the room while I hit the gym. I was very happy to see eplitical and treadmill. 


We went to the beach, to the same surf school, with Nana in a cast and wheelchair. Zaky wanted to continue with his surfing class. We negotiated to pay only IDR100k for the incomplete lesson the day before and another IDR200k for his lesson. 

While Zaky took his lesson, we fussed over Nana. Drinks? Snacks? Massage? Fake tattoo? The drink stall auntie was saying all the right thing, asking if Nana is my daughter or sister. Win le, come, serve me all the drinks. Lol. 

Zaky's instructor was lazy. His job appeared to be holding Zaky"s board and to launch him. Then, Zaky had to push his board, brave the waves and go back to his instructor. I see other instructors going to their charge and help them after they had surfed. 

Surfing is tiring business. After his 1 hour lesson, Zaky was good to leave the beach and for lunch. 

Pizza Hut! Bcos only Zaky was hungry (we snacked) and pizza hut was near.

We went shopping before returning to the room. 
Daddy Lim and the kids each bought a T-shirt. Nana chose one for Zaky. I bought a new cap to replace the one from 6 years ago. 

We headed back to the beach in the afternoon. Nana was happy scrolling her IG in the room. This time, the boys loaned a bodyboard and tried body surfing. 

Zaky got it fairly quickly. Daddy Lim barely had 1 good surf in the hour. Zaky said that Pappy is too heavy. Haha. 



What did I do while the boys had fun? Act pretty with my new cap. 

Nobody wanted to leave the room for dinner. This is when Mummy power comes in - mummy go tabao. As I walked back from the restaurant with my tabao, I saw somebody's romantic dinner setup. 

This was ours. Lol. 

But our dinner was actually very delicious. Indonesian food. 
It was early evening but we were all tired. Zaky fell asleep at 7ish. I stole a nap until Daddy Lim woke me up at 9.30pm. We had intended to watch the live band. 

We did that!




There were several kids, who enjoyed the band as much as we did, but didn't last long before bed time calls. 
Somebody was setting off fireworks at the beach. 




The band was done at about 10.30pm. We headed back to our sweet bed.
