Day 7 - Villa chill

It was an early start this morning because we had to be at reception for 7am for a two hour complimentary tour of rice fields in which we were to meet farmers. I had ten mosquito bites so I wore my new elephant pants Roy got for £2.68 in a market in Ubud.

We were joined on the walk by a couple of Northamptonshire and a couple from Wales who now lived in Australia. They were really nice and it was good to talk to some English people's and share each others experiences of Bali. The australian guy was well impressed when we said we lived in Morecambe as he's a huge Tyson Fury fan and couldn't believe we get to see him jogging down the prom regularly.

After a fifteen minute drive we started off on our walk. It was beautiful scenery and we saw many rice fields. It was a bit disappointing that we didn't get to speak to any farmers or walk through the fields themselves, but our guide was knowledgeable and told us how they harvest the rice three times a year and that a full field of rice only feeds a small community for 3 weeks. We got picked up at the other end of the track which Roy was happy about but I would've loved to loop round.

Once we got back to the hotel we headed straight for breakfast as our stomachs were growling. The menu was a repeat of the first day but it we enjoyed it so much we got the same again. This time with iced lattes which were so refreshing.

After we headed back to the villa and make the most of our private pool. Roy had me take lots of videos of him just being a general prat to make his friends and Ariana laugh.
At 4pm we headed down to afternoon tea. It was different from last time but just as good. The cinammon apple pie was to die for.

Next was the moment I'd been looking forward to all day - a video call with Mum and Dad. It was so good to chat to them and I took them round a little tour of the place. I loved sharing it all with them and getting them to see live action footage. There's so many times on the holiday when both me and Roy have said I wish they were here to see this they'd love it.

It was then time to shower, change and head out for the evening. It was my choice for tea and I chose Pundi Pundi because it had a mix of balinese, Asian and grill. The cocktails were 2 for 1 so I tried the balinese cocktails made with arak. They were nice and refreshing. We got a starter of spring rolls which were nice but not as good as last night. I then got a chicken pad Thai which was lovely and Roy had a beef traditional curry & rice. The restaurant was stunning too.

Liverpool were playing so we headed down past the monkey Forest (which was spooky in the dark as we kept thinking a monkey could fall on our heads) and went to a place called CP Lounge.

They had live music but the band was so bad. However they had a huge screen with Liverpool on and they sold shisha so Roy was happy. We got a shisha mix but after a few puffs I got lightheaded. Ten minutes later Roy felt the same, it must've been a stronger blend but I was paranoid it had something else in it. While Roy watched the football I happily people watched and played pokemon.

Roy tried to convince me to get a taxi back as it was 12am but I needed the walk to clear my head. In no time we were back at the hotel alarms set early as we'd ordered a floating breakfast for 8.30amWeiterlesen
