"Special rain price"- Shopping in Legian

Murdika picked myself, Tony & Michelle & I up at 9.30am and we headed towards Legian to our go to for souvenirs Krisna Oleh. It was very busy with busloads of Javanese tourists searching for their best buys. We spent over 1 hour in there and got a few lovely things. Then Murdika dropped us off at Bambu, a jewellery store that I'd read about. It had beautiful jewellery at pretty good prices - Michelle & I bought something of course. Tony was then our guide directing us to some of the shops I had researched. Legian is a very busy place and I remember now why we like staying in Nusa Dua. A bit more shopping then we thought we had better have lunch. We stopped at Asian Spice and Michelle & I both had yummy pork belly salad bowls. The rain came down quite heavily so we ran into Sama Sama, a homewares store where we purchased quite a few lovely trinkets. More shopping then it was time to head to Sidawartha Hotel for our Satay buffet dinner via the Happy Warung Cafe where we had one of the best coffees we've had in Bali and met the manager of the hotel Nyoman. At 6.30pm we were led to our table to have a beautiful buffet served by wonderful staff whilst we listened to a duo singing songs by Taylor Swift, Cold Chisel, The Eagles and more. We even joined in some birthday celebrations and were given some cake to take home. What a fun night. We were picked up by Made, a local driver and it took us more than an hour to get back to Peninsula Bay with all the traffic coming out of Legian. Good day was had by all.Read more
