Chinese New Year gave us a 4-day weekend, so we jumped at the chance to jet over to Bali for a few days. No complaints about a 5am wakeup for a 7:30am flight.
We decided to try out Hotel Indigo in Seminyak this time, mostly because Matt and I won free massages and brunch a few months back and didn't want to waste them.
In no time at all, we were relaxing by the pool while the kids played in the "hot" tub. No one really does hot tubs here but the bubbly jacuzzi was nice.
Our first evening was nice but the sunset wasn't all that spectacular.
The walk along the beach was interesting with lots of little bars and clubs.
Ben gave the hotel 5 stars the next morning when he saw the massive pile of bacon. That's his only requirement. And yes, he was the only person at breakfast wearing a flannel shirt on a tropical island.
We had rooms on the ground floor and pretty comfy porches.
The view out our windows was pretty but not exactly private.
We had to keep reminding the kids to shut their curtains!
Seminyak beach was nice and pretty much just the same as Kuta, since it's really just the same long beach.
All of the guys were really excited to get out and catch some waves!
Playing in the sand still hasn't lost its appeal, though.
This kid really knows how to relax at a resort. He's all about the robe and slippers after a shower.
The tree bar at the hotel was pretty interesting as well.
The next evening, we walked up the beach to the Anantara for a beautiful dinner on the beach.
This was the sunset we'd been waiting for!
It was spectacular.
(I know you can't see us, but we're all smiling about this perfect evening)
Back at it with our new friend Wayan. The kids were more interested in boogie boarding but Matt was happy to surf every day.
After some late night rain, we got a great view of some of the volcanoes on the north side of the island...
Ahhh....just what we needed. A little sun and sand and rest and play.
We had lunch in Bali and got home by 5pm, so it was a pretty perfect weekend!
