Day 4.


We were all looking forward to today.  We had decided to go to the Marine & Safari Park.  Yesterday I quickly went on Trip Advisor and checked recommendations for drivers and emailed dewa@balicarservice.com
This proved to be so easy it was ridiculous.  A couple of emails and we were sorted.  Ketut would take us there, wait, and then bring us home for Rp. 350,000 (5 hours).

We were picked up right on time and set off for the day.  The drive was very easy and Ketut chatted freely and gave us local information on the way.  Liam is such a good traveler,  he was taking everything in and enjoying the ride.

The Marine & Safari Park was lovely.  Actually better than what I was expecting.  We had a lovely day, we checked out a live show, then went on a Safari Journey, this was Liam's highlight.  He loves Tigers, and enjoyed being so close to them.  We took lots of animal photos and really enjoyed the ride.


  After some more walking, looking and photos we made our way to the Tsavo Lion Restaurant.  This was well worth the effort.  There were huge windows so you could see everything going on outside, including some sleepy Lions, the food was delicious, a very good menu choice, good service, plus it was very clean and cool.  We really enjoyed our lunch.



 We looked in the shops and Liam bought himself 2 small tigers.  Everything at the park is very organized and well worth the visit.  We didn't really leave enough time to look at the aquarium, we would have like to have seen the piranhas feed, but we missed it.  There is always next time.  We found Ketut and headed back to Sanur.

We all had a swim, the boys watched a DVD, and I headed to the Day Spa for a full 1 hour massage and a free bonus foot massage.  My oh my was that well worth it!  Loved it♥

We had decided earlier in the day we would have Surf & Turf BBQ cooked in our villa.  We didn't really ask many questions just thought it sounded like a good idea.  Well to our great surprise it was a fantastic evening.  BBQ's at home are very laid back and not much fuss.  Wrong, not here.  Our table was beautifully set, candles lining the path, our own personal chef cooking the BBQ, another waiter serving our drinks which of course included Liam's mocktails!  We started with a lovely salad, then soup, surf & turf and finished with a fruit platter.  This all happened in "Bali time" so it took awhile, which gave us a lot of Bintang time!! Ha ha, we had a very funny night and would recommend for anyone to do the same.  Good times.




There was a lot of food, and the staff took a lot of pride in preparing it and serving us.  Thank you Kamuela.

Even tho' we walked a lot today, I found the day very easy because we didn't have any road issues or any issues actually.  Next time we come to Bali, I think a day out sightseeing with a driver will be the way to go.

Finally my favorite - shower time, yay.  We are sleeping very well here, the bed is super comfy and we are all very relaxed.

Fourth day in Bali a complete success.
