June 2014. Day 3: Brown is not my colour

June 2014. Day 3: Brown is not my colour

December 17, 2019

I woke up before my alarm, did the usual & got dressed ready for the gym.  I’ve given my fringe a mohawk during the night. Must have been all that tossing & turning on my heavenly pillows with Darcy!  The hotel hairdryer isn’t too bad, so a quick touch up is all that is required.  I was happy …

Back in 2014 I bought the Bagusbabe.com domain name & made a website for my Bali blogs. It was far from perfect as I am not very website building savvy. I picked a cheap web host to host my domain for 3 years. Having lost my password to access my website last year, it sat …

Oct 2010. Day 11 to 13: Big Day Out

Oct 2010. Day 11 to 13: Big Day Out

December 11, 2019

I had a big day planned.  Not big for the average Joe but when you are doing nothing, and have to do something, it’s big.  Morning routine as usual, plus a quick pool check – can’t help myself.  I saw tapeworm girl again at breakfast.  She is still here.  Turns out those weren’t her kids in the pool the other …

Oct 2010. Day 8 to 10: Nothing means Nothing

Oct 2010. Day 8 to 10: Nothing means Nothing

December 9, 2019

Another day of sloth gone past.  My holiday is almost over & I’ve done diddily squat!  I had lunch today at Massimo’s. They give you complimentary hot bread balls made of deep-fried pizza dough, reminiscent of doughnuts in taste. They are scrumptious.  I ordered a pan pizza with chicken & mushrooms, which came to the table sizzling. It …

Oct 2010. Days 4 to 7: Wild Thing

Oct 2010. Days 4 to 7: Wild Thing

December 9, 2019

I forgot to mention that Saturday was a ceremonial day in Bali for cars & motorbikes.  Many cars & bikes were decorated with palm-leaf woven designs.  Many people were at home washing their modes of transport for the ceremony said my taxi driver on the way to Kuta.  This explains why my trip to Discovery Plaza only took …

Oct 2010. Day 1 to 3: Lazy is my middle name

Oct 2010. Day 1 to 3: Lazy is my middle name

December 9, 2019

I am now nicely settled into Villa Puri Ayu & charmed with my accommodation.  The hotel is located down a small lane at the southern end of Sanur off Jl Cemara. It is lovely & quiet and I have been fulfilling my promise of sloth & relaxation.  My room overlooks the smaller of the two hotel pools.  It …

Oct 2010. Getting Ready

Oct 2010. Getting Ready

December 9, 2019

Off to Bali in October, so avidly reading the Bali Travel Forum again for tips & info. I love this forum, though managed to control my daily addiction for over a year. Great to see so many familiar monikers still imparting words of wisdom. First on the agenda – my list. I am a great …

June 2014. Day 2: Testing The Water

June 2014. Day 2: Testing The Water

December 9, 2019

After an early night, I woke up obscenely early.  Too early to go to the gym. Yes folks, I go the gym & have been dedicated to exercise for over a year.  Shocking, isn’t it? From couch potato to *cough* athlete. From a size 20-22 down to a 14.  I can actually buy clothes off the rack in …

June 2014. Day 1: I Have Arrived

June 2014. Day 1: I Have Arrived

December 9, 2019

Here I am on the Island of the Gods again. Whoop, whoop! I’m so excited to be here. I feel like I am a different person – I’ve changed so much in the past 18 months. Time to re-prioritise, reflect, re-organise, relax and any other appropriate word starting with R. My decision to come to …
