Bali first day
24.01.2012 - 24.01.2012
30 °C
Woke up this morning and went onto the verandah to see beautiful palm trees, immaculate lawns, blue pool and the sea beyond - perfection.
Breakfast was amazing - the waiter apologised for the fact that it was the "set" menu which comes with the room - and this was :-
Mango lassi - yogurt mango drink
Trio of fruits - beatifully presented - pawpaw with yogurt and coconut - bananas cooked in brown sugar with coconut - home made muesli with yogurt and strawberries
Scrambled eggs with basil and pesto on a pancake with pesto drizzled around
Ginger, lemongrass, cinnamon and lemon tea - all made with fresh spices and served with honey
Coffee with Ginger
Sorry Donna did not get the photos!
Then as it was overcast we went to the nearest town Candidasa - lots of restaurants and shops - then back for a swim at the hotel. This was also pure luxury - being served ice cold water when at the pool and cold watermelon as part of the service - and at teatime they also serve tea and cakes as part of the service - with all the speciality teas and coffees as well!
Also discovered that we get a complimentary massage at the spa and complimentary dinner - so now have too many things to do for the days left - however Going diving tomorrow so cant wait for that!
Have now finished two of my three books - and this is only on the fourth day !
Bring it on!
