Day 13 - Big night out

We had a quick hour down at the beach in the morning, but it soon clouded over so we spent the next couple of hours trailing round Seminyak taking in all the sites and checking out the shops. Roy found something that he took great pleasure in but unfortunately it wouldn't fit in his suitcase home.

All this walking is thirsty walk so we stopped for a quick iced tea beer but was actually really nice & refreshing. It's still crazy to us that you can go into a mini mart, buy a beer, they'll open it right there for you if you ask and then you can sit on the chairs outside and drink it!

We planned on making tonight our last big night. (Didn't want to risk it on Saturday night in case our stomachs went for the Sunday flight home). So naturally this meant that Roy wanted a beard trim. After watching him get his done, I thought why not get my hair cut as its half the price as at home and last time I got it cut was November!

The girls in the hairdressers were a little broken with their English but they understood what I wanted - a trim, layers and shaping. It was strange here how the owner washed my hair then got one of the girls to cut it, usually it's the other way round in the UK. The girl was very through, taking her time, and she was asking if she could take pictures & videos too. I got it curled at the end and all together it cost £14 Inc tip. Bargain! While I was getting my hair done, Roy got jealous so decided to go next door and get a fade on his hair. We both looked tip-top.

We barely got to the end of the road when we felt the splatter of rain. Oh no! We ran to the nearest place to shelter - a burger king. We shared a meal and watched the downpour. The heavens had well and truly opened. Luckily after 20 mins it calmed down and we managed to walk back home without getting soaked.

When we got in I poured myself a Gin ready for the night but Roy was a little tired and so went for a nap. It was my choice for tea so my plan was to walk down to the beach for a drink and watch the sunset then head out for a steak. However Roy slept right through until 5.50 and sunset was 6.15 so no chance of that.

We got dressed into our matching outfits (green leaf dress & shirt), poured a gin & tonic into a plastic bottle for the walk into Seminyak strip. The first place I'd chosen for steak was fully booked until 9pm but as Roy would say it would be dangerous to make me wait that long as I become angry when hungry.

I'd checked out another place a further 5 min walk that looked good so we headed there. At 130k (£7.50) for a steak, sauce & two sides we couldn't go wrong. Especially with the setting of a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city. I got a striploin steak which unfortunately was a fatty & tough but the parsley mash was to die for and bbq and corn on the cob is always a win for me. Roy had the ribeye which he said was soft & tender. We both had a glass of wine which was reasonable for over here (£3.50 a glass).

We headed back up the strip to our favourite place - The GOAT Seminyak. We had a few beers while the band played, they got everybody up on chairs dancing and singing it was a fab atmosphere. After a couple of hours there we moved onto the oldy-worldy club we'd checked out the other day.

As it was a Friday, you had to pay to go in. Or should I say Roy did. It was 100k (£5.50) for men but they get a free drink. While as women get in free. You see this offer quite a bit here which I don't think is a little seedy. Roy got a rum & coke to make the most out of his free drink and I got a beer. We wandered around and then hit the dance floor. They were playing all English songs that I knew but the best part is Roy stayed and danced with me the entire time. I was so happy and he actually enjoyed himself!

By 12.15am we were ready to go so started the 30 min walk back to the hotel. Roy really fancied a pizza but they don't really have takeaways open so instead we went on the Grab app and ordered a spicy pizza to the hotel. It arrived 5 mins after we did and it was bloody gorgeous. One of the best pizzas we've ever had (though things always do taste better after a drink). We ate it on the bed with a bottle of water each while watching BBC news. We're not as hardcore as we'd like to think haha.Read more
