Our last full day. My ankle aches badly this morning, but we probably did more walking yesterday than I have done since injuring it. Took iPad down to breakfast, and found that I could actually publish blogs. Finally caught up on all those missed during our time in China.
Decided to have a quiet morning, lazing by the pool. Very decadent for us!! Actually stayed there till lunchtime, although Errol did raise the energy for a swim in the pool. I have strapped my ankle, and don't think it would be waterproof, besides, this isn't hot weather! About 12:30, we made the strenuous move about 50m to the beachside bistro for lunch.
Decided we should actually do something, so headed out to the road to check out the local area. There are a lot of restaurants, ranging from local cafes to quality dining. Also market type stalls with local products. I really expected to see knock off type products again, perhaps there is more of that over at Kuta. Walked right down past Bali Hyatt, but there is just more of the same - a bit disappointing. Also, it is hot once you move away from the beach.
Finally decided there was just more and more of the same, so headed back for the beachside walk - went in through the Hyatt. But we found they are doing renovations to the Hyatt lobby, so the guy at the gate directed us around the side - along a winding garden path, up several small sets of stairs, round a few more bends, and we ended up on the third floor of an accommodation block. Staff smiled and welcomed us, we nodded and said hi!! Finally found our way to the pool area, and beachside walk!!
Beautiful breeze along the beach. Back to our own hotel and unit, grabbed the kindles and headed back poolside. I don't think I can remember ever taking so much down time ever before!!
Stayed poolside till the sun had set, then back to the unit to freshen up, and out for dinner. Lovely restaurant called Tropical, just across the road from the hotel. Live music, and they were packed. Dinner was okay, but Errol's meat was tough, and my chicken on lemongrass skewers included 2 wings and 2 drumsticks with a total of 2 pieces of lemongrass. Did enjoy the 'cosmic colada' cocktail!!
Back to unit, relax and sleep.
