Bali - Part 4

Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Waaaa... I am like soooo cheong-hei like that. Go for few days only and got 4 parts summore!!!


Anyway, this will be the final one. :-)

Friday (23 May)..is the day that we don't go anywhere..don't do anything. However, being the kiasu one that I am, Accor was offering free gifts if you attend their 90-minute marketing talk for their new vacation club (Time-Share lah...) at the 5 * Novotel Nusa Dua. So.... after breakfast, H and the boys were dragged along with me. The boys were put in the Kids Club over there while H and I listened to the marketing guy.....
Did we buy??

No. We did not.

It doesn't suit our travelling lifestyle....PLUS...they only have ONE resort in Asia at the moment, which is the Novotel Nusa Dua. They do have quite a number in Australia, and also members are able to stay in other properties worldwide...But like I said, the overall scheme does not really suit our last-minute type of travelling. These time-share schemes somehow requires many months of ADVANCE booking.

What did we get out of this talk?

About USD 88 worth of hotel vouchers that we could use at our hotel which is pretty good.....my
potent cocktails, lunch and beachside massage all FREE!!!!

We hung out at the pool and beach for a fair bit... Actually, I must prefer this Novotel in Tanjung Benoa than the one in Nusa Dua. It's much cosier and with a village feel. Somehow, these days...I very takut of BIG BIG hotels leh. Why I donno...


Photos taken in the hotel
























Boys took part in A SandCastle Contest

No prizes for winners...All the participants got a free Cornetto. When S2 didn't win, he was winching as usual...and mumbled a "I don't want any stupid ice-cream!"....Did he eat the free ice-cream?

Of course he did!!

For dinner, we went to Kafe Warisan....also very romantic....


I had the very yummy Hot Foie Gras (now you know why my cholestrol is going uphill!!), Pan-fried Duck Breast and Hot Chocolate Cake!!

It was a delectable dinner...and a romatic one if H was not on the phone all night!!!

The next day,....we took the first flight out of Bali for home. The first thing we did was to head to Penang Bistro for an early lunch. Yup! More eating!!!

Now...is to LOSE all the WEIGHT that was gained over the last few days!!!!!

Angeline - It is kinda nice. And the air is so much cleaner too. We could see the difference in the visibility the moment we landed in the city!

Jonzz - Kite not cheap either. Initially, they wanted about USD 8 and then dropped down to USD 4.50.
Yes. We did have a good holiday. Thanks. :-)

WMD - Go! Go! Bring your boys to Waterbom, Elephant Park, Animal Safari etc etc...

Shern's Mom - Thanks for the compliment on the photos. :-)
