Bali, Indonesia

Saturday 3rd January 2010

Well late at night on Boxing Day we headed off on a plane to Bali. I had my pink suitcase with all of my toys in and my In the Night Garden rucksack with my snacks in! When we got to Bali it was time for bed, so we blew up my In the Night Garden ready bed and laid it on the sofa, so I had a lovely snugly bed (it was that comfy that I kept sneaking into it during the day as well!!) Our villa was lovely, we had a big bedroom with an area outside for mummy and daddy to sit whilst I was sleeping, a huge bath and a big shower and then our back yard was a swimming pool!! It was the perfect depth for me to play in and then when we opened the back gate it led to a big 70m pool with a bar and our own sundeck - lots of fun!!

When we were feeling lazy instead of walking to the restaurant, we could ring up and order a golf cart and get a lift - this was one of my favourite parts of the holiday and sometimes I was even allowed to ride up front with the driver! The people there were lovely as well and everyone knew my name by the end of the holiday - I was very popular! When we weren't in the pool or the golf buggy, I enjoyed walking up and down the steps constantly and eating lots of yummy noodles and sausages.

We went to 2 barbeque's and saw a traditional Balinese dance at one (with a scary man in a mask that I did not like) and we watched a dance of the Ramayana epic (although I slept through 2 of the three acts). We headed off to see some water temples and gardens one day, we spent a few days in Ubud town (mainly because whenever we got in the shuttle bus I fell asleep, so if I hadn't napped off we went!!) and we also went on an elephant safari! Our elephant was called Deli and she was lots of fun, she could play the harmonica (slightly better than me) and daddy was even allowed to sit on her (with me and mummy in the back pretending not to be scared!!)

We were in Bali for New Year and had a dinner and music night. I slept through most of it, but woke up about 11 so I got to see in the New Year with mummy and daddy - I really enjoyed the fireworks and liked the music and dancing with daddy, but it was a bit too loud for me so we were all safely tucked up in bed by 1am. Needless to say I still woke up at 6.30, I think mummy and daddy were hoping for a lie in!!

Well we had a lovely holiday in Bali and it was the perfect start to 2010 - hope you like the pictures and Happy New Year - Cheers!!
