Bali, Indonesia

On the way back from Australia we stopped over in Bali to basically do as little as possible for a week or so. We booked a villa with it's own pool which was part of bigger resort but essentially self-contained (we don't really go to these places to mingle with other guests!) The resort, The Villas Bali is in Seminyak (across the road from Bali Deli for those familiar with Bali) and was highly recommended on my favourite travel review site, Trip Advisor. Our pool and garden -

The weather was around 30 degrees every day and mostly sunny, but the few days of rain didn't really affect our plans anyway. Milo was a hit everywhere we went - we had been told how much the Balinese love kids, but it really amazing! Even the security guards at Bali Deli asked his name and then said hello to him every time we went in! Milo and his favourite waitress at the resort restaurant -



We didn't get out that much apart from meals, and even then we ate quite a few times at the resort. We did make it to the famous Ku De Ta for dinner one night (Milo slept the entire time on Nick's chest in the Baby Bjorn) which was fantastic, as everyone says. Out for greek at Mykonos on 'Eat' Street -

All in all we had a very relaxing time and having our own pool was brilliant - no need to fight for the best sun lounges! Although maybe a few too many creatures for me - apart from mosquitoes, we had loads of frogs, lizards and something unidentified which stole the bananas from our fruit bowl! Also, we weren't overly enamoured with Seminyak but as we hardly left the resort, it kind of didn't matter!
