Rosani Hotel Legian

... amount that we eat as they are used to only rice and a little chicken. We bought a duck and chickens, rice and bread and they thought it was a feast. We also had cakes and mini drumsticks. They loved these. It really does make you appreciate what we have at home. We didn't get in to the cooking course but will definately try to ...

... We have a lady coming tomorrow to give us all massages. We have all our cleaning and washing done. No cooking. They light mossie coils and put on the ac for us at night. Tell dad I want this sort of pampering when i come home. Very hot in internet cafe, but they do give you water and peanuts for free. Back home for a movie now. Lots of love, mum

... they adored our children, making them feel welcome and safe.

Our hotel had two fabulous pools, a kids club and we were right beside the surf beach. There was plenty to keep us amused in the surrounding streets and we were only a short taxi ride or walk from the tourist precinct of Kuta or from the more up-market Seminyak. It was the ideal location to access all areas and also be able to retreat to the hotel to chill-out.

The children were especially ...

... m not really going to go out here or even drink that much. It's nice to just get all of that out of my system and just do the other things I enjoy to do. I haven't even had more than two beers here and am not really in the mood to party. The only thing that I do miss is drinking caffeine because everyone here is constantly going out and drinking coffee or tea and I desperately want my tea back, but I also desperately want to make it through lent. We'll see if I break.

... connect and share travel and exchange travel tips in Bali. We arrived in immigration and were through in no time after forking out $25 each for the Visa on arrival. Once we collected our bags, we headed out and found that it was still raining pretty steadily and there were lots of puddles to negotiate. We were thankful to find a driver waiting to take us to our hotel. We slowly wound our way through the narrow and jammed streets of Kuta ...

... their arms and cheer. I laughed as I sped by, then reminded myself to never, ever allow any teenaged daughter of mine to own a webcam. By the time I got back to my hotel, I'd spent so many hours riding my motorbike that the muscles in my right hand had frozen into a hideous claw, not unlike Jerry Seinfeld's hand after he had to endorse thousands of checks he was receiving in the mail from Japanese fans.

... ich freu mich richtig! Gestern waren wir dann noch in Sanur (30min von Denpasar) bei den VSO Beach Games. Unsere Direktorin hat ein paar lustige Spiele vorbereitet, wie Volleyball mit Handtuechern und mit Wasser gefuellten Luftballons - siehe Photos. Danach gab es ein grosses Picknick und auf dem Rueckweg bin ich dann doch glatt in so ein Lock im Buergersteig gefallen *g*. War zum Glueck nur eklig (weil darunter das Abwasser fliesst), aber ich hab mir nix getan...

... by my side. The clarification of the previous night ensured a successful second attempt at the meetup. Traveling for four months has only solidified my ever strengthening, if somewhat pessimistic theory, that 99.9% of people in the world are barely worth pursuing a meaningful relationship with. It felt good to get back to basics. Real conversation with real people we shared a semi-real history with. We outlined what plans we had for the next month (which was none too solid) over a ...

... statues. Then we went to another temple where outside was a man with a python snake and was offering to have your picture taken with her,( her name was ester- the python) Okay so I'm not making this up, I actually had my picture taken with this python wrapped around me. Just when you think that there couldn't be anything so completely bizarre and random to cross off your list ( this really wasn't on my list) but I did it anyway and have the ...

... an awning were beckoning us to come over and get out of the wet. So we ran across the road, and they tried to open the gates to let us in, but couldn't because they had actually just been pouring cement to set them in and couldn't really move them. They were really nice, and helped us climb over the wall on the side and brought us to the porch of the building. After a few minutes, one of them came out with a bench (and his beautiful young daughter) and I peeked inside the building ...
