Day 2.



After a great sleep and breakfast delivered to our Villa, it felt like we were in heaven.  It was so quiet and very relaxing.  We even had a resident squirrel to entertain us.  We decided to go for a walk.
We crossed over the road to the Kodak money changer.  Very nice people and we will stay with them for our IDR.  Now how do we get to the beach?  Lets walk down this road and go down a lane way.  Yep great idea!  We started of in single file, Garmy first, Liam second and me at the back.  Well not the best for me, because I could see everything going on in front of me.  Liam is very poor in traffic of any sort.  So a lane way in Bali was not a good idea.  He couldn't seem to stay to the edge and kept wandering into the middle, then I would tell him to move back, then he would react.  Okay, new rule.  Dad to take over road detail.  Mum to shut-up.  Liam to listen.  Right, now the rules are set we are much better.

We walk along a good path.  Beach to our right and the back of Puri Santrian and our Kamuela Villa to our left.  We didn't get very far along and a guy wants to sell some sunglasses. There wasn't another person around, so this was a great opportunity for Liam to make his first purchase without much hassle.  The guy was very nice and a deal was done.  Liam was super chuffed.  We finally decided to turn around and make our way back.  No way were we going anywhere near that lane way - next best thing just walk through Puri Santrian.  Easy peasy.  We won't make that mistake again.

Back to our villa, have a drink  and next stop Hardy's.  We asked front desk for a shuttle to Hardy's, and no problem at all we were taken right to the front door.  The very minute we walked through the door we were given tickets to scratch and I bet you have guessed already - it was our lucky day.  We won US$1000.  We just needed to go in a taxi to some place to collect.  Yeh right, back off mate, I have shopping to do!  I cruised around, plenty to look at.  Made a couple of purchases and then we took Liam to the DVD shop.  The picture says it all!




Our first shopping outing had been successful, so we kept it fairly short and made our way back by taxi to Kamuela.  First taxi ride, first lesson learnt.  Next time only use Blue Bird taxi's.  This guy didn't totally rip us off, but I know we could have done better.  But we weren't fussed, we were back safely and bottom line we are only talking a couple of dollars.  Our great shopping trip was worth far more than money ♥

We are all in need of a swim, ordered some Nasi Goreng and banana fritters to be delivered to our villa, ahhhhh this is the life.  Watched a DVD purchased this morning, we all had a nap, another swim, yep this is why we came.

Liam and I decided to try out the complimentary afternoon tea.  Not really our thing, but worth a try.
Seafood for tea tonight at Caramel Restaurant. Good food, good service and good company.  What more do you need?



Liam has also discovered mocktails ♥



We "waddled" back to our villa after a fabulous meal.  We are eating far too much food.  No wonder everyone ends up with upset tummies.

 Can't wait to have my shower tonight, I love it in there.  Bed is calling me.  

Second day in Bali a complete success.
