I kinda always knew i
would love bali . Afterall we have many many bali
beds and my fave part of my houses
Bali is all about
kind peacful people ( i need more of this in my life ! ) water fountains ,
rivers , architectural beauty , buddhas , massages , flowers ,
monkeys , bali beds , comfortable corners to read , amazing cheap food and the
list goes on and on .
Bali is for me :) i
was just always too afraid toCome this far away in the world and never seemed
to be the right time to do so in my work and family
So happy i did
Yesteday evening was
heavenly . We booked a great spa my travel expert leah recommends ( she is
opening her company in fall and get your
spot as there will
be a line up as she is the best of the best ! )
It was tamarind spa
ubud .
For 90 cdn dollars
each we were each able to get 4 hrs of tbe best spa treatments ever in total
bali luxury !!!!!! In canada we would have paid 400
for this day . In
bali ubud you can get a massage for 10 dollars an hour but nothing like this
Started with 90 mins
hot stone massage
Then hour reflexology
foot massage
Hour traditional
facial with all natural products ( think honey and mint and lemon and yogurt
and cucumber slices over your eyes !! )
This was the best 4
hrs ever for all of us
Bear opted for a
honey exfoliation full body and scrub and rose petal bath instead of foot
masage as his feet to ticklish .
Our massages in north
America have alot to learn from the balinese !!!
We walked around and
had a nice dinner with
some great live
music and got home late soft relaxed and scrubbed . Wish could do this everyday
! I would be a better person
Up early this morning
to review the last part of my book which is due to publisher 3 days after i
return . Then packed and left beautiful Ubud for the next part of our stay .
Stopped off in last
Ubud place the sacred monkey forest . Sooooooooo cute !! Missed beauty so much
as she would have loved loved this experiences
of monkeys crawling
all over and all over us
Only issue is we only
had time for 30 mins where bear would have easily spent a half day !
Same with the temple
on the lake ! Would have spent a few hrs on a little boat on lake admiring the
temple and had 30 minutes ! Trying to pack it all in is sometimes not such a
great idea but at least gives us a flavour of so many parts of bali and allows
us to know what to spend time at for a future possible visit
Now onto the famous
temple on the lake and a special waterfall and a possible other coffee
plantation and then onto bali barat !
Spoke to chase and
beauty by facetime too and since mid way in trip got caught up on work emails
and my mom emails and few friend emails . Felt good .
And also felt good to
get back to the bliss of vacation too where unaware of reality and only aware
of our little bubble .
