BALI!

At the end of this year, me, my dad, brother and sister are going to Bali together! Im so excited to feel a million dollars for a week and stay in a 5 star hotel! Everything is so cheap there is it great. We usually stay in Sanur because its less crowded and more family friendly. However, this time dad wants to change it up and we will be staying in Leggien, which is about 15 minutes or so from Kuta's main beach. We are planning on eating lots, getting pampered and buying lots of touristy things! The food there is amazing and I'm so excited to eat the delicious foods that are at ridiculously cheap prices. I have also saved up a lot of money to get massages everyday, as well as manicures and pedicures. We have discovered that it is better off paying an extra couple of dollars to go to a salon, rather then the massaging at the main beach. This is because it feels more hygienic and private. Its a tad uncomfortable when you're getting massaged half naked and people are casually walking past! I'm also keen to visit the two Poppy's Lanes that are jam packed with markets and cheap clothes. You generally have to sift through the clothing a bit to get something nice as well. But that doesn't bother me too much when everything is under $5! When you're arguing with the shop keeper about a few cents high or lower regarding pricing of clothes, i figure that money means a lot more to them then it does to us, so i give in! Some aren't as generous. But really, 30 cents is hardly generous. I'm looking forward to go riding along the main beach. It is about $5 to hire a bike for the day so we all go riding along the foreshore and stop for food and interesting markets we find along the way! I honestly cannot wait, and it is also a great opportunity to catchup with the Family as i live down in Brisbane now.
