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

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*

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.
