Finally a beautiful holiday!

Posted on October 8, 2009

Our family haven’t been on a proper holiday in four years (really who does that?), so we decided that it was very important to get away before the new wedding season began.  The girls had never been on a plane before and it had been years since we had gone to Bali – so that became our destination.  Boy has it changed since the last time – some of it for the better and some for the worst.  The traffic was nightmarish, but the shopping was pretty good.  The biggest thing that happened to us, while we were there was the Bali Earthquake, in which we were shaken around on our beds (it was 7 a.m. in the morning) and then waited upstairs for a little while in case of a Tsunami.  The gorgeous Villa’s we stayed in were so private that we didn’t see the extended family running naked out to the garden (thankfully )

The Villa we stayed in was situated in Seminyak and it was called ‘Villa Pelangi‘ and it was beyond our wildest expectations.  We knew that we would have a cooked breakfast of what ever we liked every morning, but we didn’t realise that they cleaned, dried and ironed our clothes everyday!  The Chef for the evenings was fantastic and versatile (and seriously cheap).  The grounds covered 3000 sqm and it also had this amazing 20 meter pool.

So all in all – fantastic holiday, and we are already thinking of doing it again!

P.S.:  I was banned from taking my professional camera’s and therefore had to shoot with a P&S – I used my new Canon G10 which was lovely.
