For the wanderers

Ah! Beautiful Bali…

Beautiful Bali…balmy, lush green, frangipani scented…and raining. But that’s ok, today requires a wind down and regroup, it’s been a long drought ‘tween holidays.

Our Villa, tucked away in a tiny Seminyak back street behind high bamboo camouflaged walls is expansive….open to let the cool breezes in, subtly lit, abutting the warmest pool and spa…ambience personified. A good choice Lynnie ‘n Steve who, by the way, have just toddled off to a Gym! Tough Mudder competition just 4 weeks away and they’re now in panic mode. Bless!

BJ’s wallowing with coffee and newspapers on the day bed, chortling at the fact he’s currently a millionaire (in Rupee) and trying to prioritise…Coffee? Shops? Another swim? TV?

Me? Well my six leisurely paddles up and down the pool should do it. Enough to work up an appetite for the big tropical breakfast about to be delivered.

Later…..
Long leisurely swim, dinner at Samaya ‘Breeze’, a glorious sunset…sleep. Terribly hedonistic yes…and loving it!

Love, love, love!

Love these delicate little masterpieces…a touch of pink, a drop of rose water, finished with raspberry cream, guess what your getting when next you dine at mine.

Calling all travelers!

Calling all fellow travel affectionados! Although my travel blog wasn’t publicised on Facebook last year (in it’s infancy and somewhat amateur at the time)  those of you who did follow our travels on the blog will know that Fifi and Pixi (Jenny and Jane) have major wanderlust problems! Thus they are hitting the road again next year sans husbands/partners so they can indulge in all things girly…Paris firmly in sights.

HOWEVER… making the most of such an arduous journey, they also plan to visit Spain and Belgium and desperately need  the travellers on FB to provide suggestions! Bruges in Brussels…best accommodation?  Barcelona for Gaudi’s fine work…best accommodation? Best gigs? Best restaurants? Anywhere else we should slot into the agenda? Pleeeeeze provide your suggestions…

(And for those who are mad keen on travel and don’t mind a few photos and a little dialogue, go to May/June 2011 ‘Explore’ archives on this blog for a little dose of giggles. Tolerant family and forgiving friends loved it!)
