Asian Sky: Amori's visit

Our first visitor has come and gone. Our birthdays, Christmas and New Year has come and gone and so have our fantastic holiday in Lombok, Gili and Bali (x2). Wow, where do the days go!
I have to rewind my mind a bit. It has been such a jam packed couple of months.

I'll start with Amori's visit from the 2nd to the 12th of December, which was a great birthday present. "So was the lovely gifts thanks Mori, we loved having you here".

As mentioned in the last post, I didn't have a lot of time to set-up the spare room. But, the proof is in the pudding....

The guest room, decorated and ready for Amori.

Amori and I spent a couple of days around Jakarta. Paid a visit to the Museum National with our own personal tour guide (Thanks, Tamera). Amori tried a couple of Indonesian dishes, a day trip to Bandung, a pamper session at the salon and a night on the town.

We enjoyed a "very late" night on the town. We of course did not enjoy having to get up at 4am after only about an hours sleep, to catch our 6:30am flight to Bali on the 5th of December.

We reached the Kumara Sakti Hotel in Ubud at about 12am where we spent 2 nights.

We had the most heavenly 2 and a half hour Ayurveda massage later that day.

We watched a Legong show, which is very interesting and entertaining.

I don't know what was more entertaining...The Legong dancers or Amori's reaction every time she saw or heard a gecko "chik-chak", well, anything that looked like it moved! Hehehe!

While we were sitting at our breakfast table on our veranda we heart a thump, wondered what it was but dind't pay much attention. We were about to leave our room when the cleaning lady came up the steps and screeched "SNAKE". It must have fallen out of the tree, and was lying on the step. Well, you can just imagine our reactions. Just glad the cleaning lady found him first and we didn't step on it, going down the steps.

We visited a silver factory on the way to Sanur.

Amori was very happy to check into the Puri Santian Hotel in Sanur, which appeared to be a little less overgrown.

We had a very relaxing facial at the Hotel Spa, sipped a mojeto at the pool bar and just enjoyed the day in and around the pool and on the beach lounchers.

We spent the last 2 nights in Seminyak at Pelangi Hotel, doing pretty much the same as the first 3 days.
