The travel time was exhausting and we will have to adjust to the 89 degree heat, but Elletu and I made it to our dream destination, the island of Bali. We won't need cucumber slices for our photos because I'm sure we will be in sunglasses all week. Who will recognize us? (Elletu is wearing green today--I'm in red. For the sake of balance in our photo, I let her carry my purse.) Personally, I think we never looked better.
We checked into our hotel first thing and then took a walk to stretch our legs after our long flight. We have rented a modern villa at the waterfront Fairmont Sanur Beach, on the southeast side of the island. It's amazing! We have our own pool, two gorgeous bedrooms, and a kitchen fit for a TV chef. This hotel is off the town's bustling main road and is peacefully away from the fray. It is, however, within walking distance of shops and restaurants. Rooms start at $260. We're paying more of course, but it's worth it. Our personal valet, Wayan, took this photo of us outside our villa just before our walk through the town. Wayan will be at our service during our stay here.
The sun has set and we are more than ready to luxuriate in our deep soaking tubs. I say 'tubs' because we each have a large private bath in our room with a generous marble tub in which we can actually float. We already had a dip in our private pool, and Elletu asked Wayan to mix up Mai Tais and deliver them to us poolside. Such luxury! He is gone for the night, so we are on our own until he returns in the morning. I'm sure a good night's sleep awaits us both. We plan to hit the beach in the morning, and then Elletu booked us massages and spa treatments in the afternoon.
Night-night from magical Bali!
