Indo Holiday 2 - Day 7

Day 7 - Saturday 29th June 2013

Today was our last full day at Club Med Bali, so we just enjoyed ourselves at the beach and made the most of it.
Here are some photos since we didn't do much else today :)

The show tonight was Bollywood themed, we didn't watch the whole thing, it was dragging a bit. So we went to the bar and hung out with Irawan :) We went to the nightclub for about 20 mins but there were no other guest there, just G.O.s so we went to bed :)

Indo Holiday 2 - Day 6

Day 6 - Friday 28th June 2013

Today we decided because it was raining and I was feeling much better we would take a trip to Bali Galleria in Kuta to do some shopping for my family. Unfortunately the shopping center had changed a lot since they were last there and the places they wanted me to go to were no longer there. We still had a nice walk around, bough some food and drinks for our room etc.

After this we went to a new shopping complex along Kuta beach called Beachwalk, it's very modern and there were some really nice shops there. One in particular, Miss Selfridge was my favorite, I could have bought the whole store but the clothes were a bit too pricy so all I could do was dream hehe

We walked around for an hour or two then found ourselves a taxi back to the resort. Unfortunately due to the rain and general traffic in the area it took nearly 2 hours to get back. Ma'arif took a nap when we got into the taxi and by the time he woke up we had only driven around the corner.

We ended up getting back to the resort at about 2 pm. We had lunch at the sit down restaurant as the main buffet had closed.
The resort organized a big game of bingo at the main bar so we joined the couple we had met the night before and played a few rounds, it was very entertaining even if none of us won. :P

Main Bar 

 That evening was Balinese themed night, we had to wear sarongs and white shirts. I bought a $3 sarong at the shops earlier and was going to wear it as a skirt but it was just a bit too short when tied up so I ended up adapting the theme and wearing the sarong as a scarf. :)

The show was Balinese dancers and fire dancers. There was then a interactive display of all the different G.O. nationalities currently at the resort, with samples of food, art and games from each nation.
Australia didn't have much to offer more than a slice of bread and Vegimite...*Sigh*

Balinese Dancers :)

The traditional dance performance was stunning, the costumes were so vibrant that you would think you had never seen colour before then, the fire dancers were very talented also!

We didn't stay out too late tonight, I was feeling pretty tired, so off to bed we went.

Indo Holiday 2 - Day 5

Day 5 - Thursday 27th June 2013

I had a horrible night, fever, shaking, sweats, waking up over and over. Ma'arif was an angel taking care of me. In the morning before breakfast we headed straight for the infirmary, the nurse told me what I already knew and called in the doctor to bring me antibiotics.

We had to wait an hour for the doctor so we had breakfast and took it easy. It was raining this morning which was a shame, but I guess it was a good day since I wasn't going to be doing too much.

The doctor arrived at 10am, he was a very funny, friendly man, he had also been to Perth many times and loved it very much he told me.
He agreed with me that I had Tonsillitis and asked me if I wanted pills or an injection of Antibiotics, he said the injection would work faster so I chose this...after about 10 mins laying on the bed watching him mix up 3  cocktails of different solutions I had a plug stuck in my arm and all 3 solutions injected into me. *uurrghh*

I felt a little nauseous and pain but it passed fairly quickly, I was also prescribed 2 different pills one which I had to take 5 times a day for 5 days!

By that afternoon I was feeling much much better! So we spent the day at the beach in our little dome again taking in the view and trying to stay out of the rain :)

Once the rain cleared up and I was feeling a lot better, we went for a long stroll down the beach past a few of the neighboring resorts, the beaches were very pretty.

 As we were walking I spotted this little guy stranded on the beach...

 

So I rescued him and returned him to the water, he was still alive :)

We got ready for dinner, the theme tonight was Club Med shirts and white pants. Earlier today we bought new shirts to wear for this evening :) At dinner time we were sat with a lovely couple who also live in Perth, they were there with their teenage daughter. We spent the night chatting away with them until it was time to watch the show. The performance tonight was put on by the Kids Club, their daughter was playing the Cheshire Cat in Alice in Wonderland. It was a great show and some of the little toddlers looked sooo adorable in their little costumes!
Afterwards there was a show for the adults, a series of impersonations of famous songs and singers. It was very well done and highly entertaining!

Afterwards we headed to the nightclub for a little while then off to bed :)

Ma'arif, Me and Irawan all wearing our 88/45 shirts!

Indo Holiday 2 - Day 3 & 4

Day 3 - Tuesdays 25th June 2013

Today we spent time just enjoying everything on offer at Club Med Bali, since we slept for the 1st day and were out on the 2nd day it was great to finally just settle in.
We started our morning with a BIG breakfast, then I wanted to check out the Archery, so we headed down to the sports center and had a few rounds, we met the G.O. for Archery and became great friends, his name is Gede and he's from Bali.

While Ma'arif and Gede were jibbering on in Indonesian I was having fun shooting bulls-eyes!

It was quite a hot day so afterwards, we headed to the main bar for some cocktails and relaxation before lunch.

RnR

Cheers!

And of course the view wasn't bad either!

After lunch we took a long dip in the pool, the water was beautiful! There was a young boy alone in the pool with a water gun who found great amusement in endlessly spraying us with water haha

The afternoon was spent laying at the beach and sipping more and more cocktails :D

The dress code for this evening was elegant, we made a reservation for the restaurant, but ended up missing our booking which was fine because we still got dressed up and made our way to the buffet :D

We made the most of the night after enjoying the evening entertainment and dancing, by going to the on site nightclub, which is simply the open air restaurant transformed into a dance floor with dj and pop up bar. We met up with Gede, and also our new bar friend Irawan and the water sports G.O. Aang.

It was such a great night, we stayed till the end, meaning we didn't get back to our room till about 2 am haha
Unfortunately I paid for it the next day!

Day 4 - Wednesday 26th June 2013

I woke up with a very very sore throat, unable to swallow, and shaking all over from a very bad fever.
It was quite scary, I took some Neurofen which helped with the fever enough that I could make it to breakfast. But afterwards I went back to the room and slept for a few hours, I wasn't feeling well enough to leave the room and was still getting shakes from the fever so I introduced Ma'arif to Yahtzee on my Ipod and we played for a while till it was lunch time. I took some more Neurofen and had some lunch.

After that I wanted to get some fresh air so we grabbed ourselves a dome on the beach and just took it easy for the afternoon. As I was having trouble swallowing everything even water, Ma'arif ordered me a glass of Pocari Sweat, its basically an isotonic sports drink but it was so soothing, so that's all I drank for about 2 days.

I made it to dinner but only just, there was supposed to be a pool party that evening but I just wasn't up to it so unfortunately we missed out. On the way to dinner I bumped into a G.O. that I met in Phuket, at Christmas time, her name is Octavanie and she's from Jakarta, we were going to meet up while I was in Jakarta but fortunately she was working in ClubMed Bali while I was there so we got to see each other there instead :D
