Seminyak

Excellent time in Ubud  Liz not too good during the night with tummy. Staff very concerned and Pudu sent special rice pudding to the room. Packed and pleased bill was not as  much as expected. Driver took us to royal temple which we missed on tour 2 and it is lovely. Arrived at Samaya Seminyak. It is even more luxurious than Ubud Samaya. Afternoon tea and swam twice. Dinner overlooking the beach and sunset. Had duck. Watched Bohemian rhapsody.
Breakfast overlooking beach. Lazed around pool best in early evening. It has jacuzzi nozzles. Mini bar included! Drink very heavily taxed here. Restaurant costs more here but sunsets are stunning. Watched Catherine the great on Kindle.

Last night lovely dinner with 3 wines and Bali dancers with gamelan. Liz had a go. A full moon. Lovely spot. Our 2 hour massage was included and excellent. Oil then scrub all over. Makes Holland America ones seem a bit dull good as they are.
