Bali, Seminyak II

Potatoe Head beach club was great! We opted for a daybed by the pool and enjoyed nice food and even nicer cocktails overlooking the infinity pool, overlooking the ocean. The weather could have been better as there was on/off cloud until mid afternoon although the sun came out in full force later on. A really enjoyable day with relaxed beach vibes!

I keep forgetting to take photos but we’ve noticed there is so much detail that goes into bricked walls in Bali. So much so, many of the walls almost look religious as if they’re hiding a monument. They are very impressive and seem to be everywhere, from hotels to houses. We’ve also noticed Balinese offerings are placed everywhere and anywhere but mostly on the floor in front of a religious monument or looking out over a viewpoint. The offering typically consists of rice and petals laid in a banana leaf parcel topped with an incense stick. Very cultural although they do not appear to get picked up regularly as old offerings are commonly seen laying around.

The last evening in Seminyak was spent eating a very late dinner consisting of shop bought pot noodles and a bag of crisps. Nearby restaurants had finished serving food by this point so we had no other choice. Worse still, the noodles we bought we ridiculously spicy. Jess had one mouthful and that was it. Despite this, Bali does amazing food, especially for breakfast! Their breakfast/ brunch cuisine easily out does UK and better yet, cafes are everywhere. A very nice change since breakfasts have mostly been noodles or rice back in south east Asia.Læs mere
