Day 5: Swim, Walk, Swim... Repeat

We made some progress with the kids' wake-up time today—they slept until 4:20am! That's over two hours later than yesterday, so we're calling it a win. At this rate, we're hoping they'll be sleeping until a respectable 6:20am tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

By 5:00am, the kids were already in the pool. Once again, we did our best to keep the noise down for the rest of the villa... with very limited success.

After breakfast, we wandered down the street while I searched for a replacement for my recently departed $8 shoe. No luck at first, so we continued on to Uncle Graham's house, where the kids did what they do best...

More swimming.

After a snack with Uncle Graham at his local café, we walked home so Jai could have a much-needed two-hour nap while the rest of us squeezed in—you guessed it—even more swimming.

Still wearing their togs, the kids then walked the 15 minutes back to Uncle Graham's house... where they jumped straight back into the pool again. By this point, our holiday could best be described as alternating between walking and swimming.

Thankfully, on one of our walks I finally found a cheap pair of jandals. Hopefully this pair survives longer than the last ones, which managed to disappear in less than 24 hours.
We also found some interestingly Indonesian sights...see the photo of the power lines 🤣 just some standard electrical practices happening here.

Jackie and Campbell picked us up from Uncle Graham's that evening, and we enjoyed a delicious Vietnamese dinner together before heading home.

The kids were asleep almost as soon as their heads hit the pillow.

To be fair, if you'd spent the day swimming for approximately 14 hours, you'd probably sleep pretty well too.
