Day 2: Swimming, Kuta town and Balinese Dinner

Day 2
Friday, 16th November 2012

We had the usual buffet breakfast at the hotel.  Holidaying here is great because kids below 12 eat for free, unlike some other hotels that charge even for 4 year olds.

So we ate to our fullest.  This is what I started with.


Today and for the next 3 days, hubby diligently stood by the egg station and ordered me my omelette with extra cheese.  That alone can fill up the whole of my tummy, but since I'm on holiday I'm pushing my stomach muscles to its limits!

 
After a hearty breakfast, we headed to the pool again, because the weather gets very hot by 10am.  I can't recall what time we went in, but it was hot enough.  Here are some more happy pool pictures:

Let's try two together We did this even 3 person at a time - no picture because I was the 3rd person, and Daddy was standing by at the bottom of the slide to catch us
Just look how wonderful the weather is...

After freshening up, we walked out to Kuta town to check out the shops. We went to Kuta Square (where the branded shops were - no bargaining allowed) and Kuta Art Market (where you can practice your bargaining skills there)  We didn't have much "luck" at the Market probably because we went there after lunch and the sellers were all non motivated. 

This was how William looked when we walked out.  He used Daddy's Oakley's.  Good that we have this trusty ol' stroller along in all our holidays as we can load in a tired child or our shopping loot

At night, we had pre-booked local Balinese dinner at the Hotel.  By booking early, we get IDR25,000 discount for each adult.  The kids eat for free.  So in total, this dinner cost us IDR250,000 equivalent to around RM80.  Very very reasonable!
Victoria cherish her freedom to pick and scoop her own food. 

William in deep thought. 

Throughout dinner, William won the heart of a waitress and a waiter.  The latter made a speed boat origami for him.  The waitress, whose name is Ary was very friendly, and always coming by to ensure we are fine.  She knows William's name and calls him by his name the next time we met at breakfast.

Cheers!

At night, we watch a movie together as a family.  The four of us huddled together on one bed, with the laptop hooked up to the TV.  This movie-night is something the kids really enjoy! 

Tomorrow... a whole day out for a tour to Sukawati, Ubud, Mt Batur... etc ending at Jimbaran.

Wow, you sure can eat a lot! The 2 slices of bread with butter can fill me up already. If I were to stuff the egg omelette that big into my tummy, I can forgo lunch and dinner already LOL! Looks like a very enjoyable trip you've had with your family.
