We had so much fun in Bali April 2018 with Gordon and Cristy we thought we’d do it again. And here we are back at Villa Taman Hijau for ten days for relaxation. This time we have a party of eight. We’re joined by our kids, Bettina and Bianca, Our friend Jacqui and her daughter Ashanti. We’ve booked Villa Taman Hijau and the one next door, Villa Taman Rahasia. These two beautiful villas are in Kerobokan, near Seminyak.
We don’t have any great plans for the ten days, its all about getting away from the daily grind and relaxing.
I’ve titled this post “Bali for all” because just about everyone we know is here. Apart from those already mentioned:
My sons
My sons are here with their girlfriends and my ex-wife. My ex-wife, Joy had arranged this staying in Sanur. I tried to arrange a big get together, but it all got too hard, so I didn’t see them at all. They are leaving today, so they’ll miss Ann’s birthday dinner.
My Sister
My sister, Ann is turned 50 years old today. She’s staying in Jayakarta hotel, near Legian. We’re meeting her for dinner at Sugar Ray’s bar. It had to be a sports bar, because of course the Western Derby is on tonight #freoforever. Hopefully its a memorable night … and for Ann too.
Conrad
Conrad was also here with a couple of mates. We caught up for a beer in Legend bar in Garlic Lane.
Bettina’s “in-laws”
Bettina’s boyfriend’s family are here staying in Ubud and Kuta. Bettina left our villa with our driver Made, Tuesday night and met them at the airport. They then went on to their hotel in Ubud. Bettina has been staying with them ever since. She’s coming back “home” tonight and coming with us to Ann’s birthday dinner. We caught up with them Thursday night for Teppanyaki dinner at Bluefin restaurant.
We arrived back at the villa with news that Gordon lost his phone. When they got back to the villa Gordon realised he’d left his phone in the taxi, or so he’s thought. Luckily the villas have cctv and they managed to find the footage of them arriving and getting out the taxi. They could see that Gordon had put his phone on the roof of the taxi while helping the others unload. The taxi drove off with the phone still on the roof! Everyone went out looking down the street for the phone, because it had surely fallen off. Gordon did have the licence plate for the taxi and contacted the company, Blue Bird. Incredibly they called back and they had his phone! It had stuck to the roof and took a trip to Jimbaran Bay (probably fancied a seafood dinner). The driver found it still on the roof and retrieved it. He brought it back unscathed to a surprised, albeit relieved Gordon and Cristy. After last year’s Passport incident, what have you go in store for next year Gordon?
