Bali day #1
Happy Birthday Tina! (We both have the same birthday.) Tina took us to the airport bright & early and we had an uneventful pre-flight time. The flight was a dream .... Kaylia played iPods for half the flight .. then just went to sleep! Customs in Denpasar was a breeze with our usual VIP bloke waiting for us .... then it was off to Nusa Dua and book into the Novotel. Our room is huge! I had explained about Kaylia ages ago and they allocated us to a suite designed for disabled visitors!

After a settling in swim, we went exploring the resort and found the 'Pause Cafe' - really good for Kaylia - and us! Just the sort of snacks we all like plus delicious milkshakes.
Then it was downtime for Kaylia while Ian went for a walk to expore the surrounding streets. This is a really great area to stay! The resort is good and nearby are all the restaurants, markets, spas etc that you could wish for. We'll be back to this place in future I can see.
We had hoped that Kaylia would allow us to have a special birthday dinner but it was not to be. The resort has a special 'Rijstaffel' meal tonight and it was beautiful food ... but we had to abort halfway through the main course .... [Get up! Walk!] This sort of instruction is usually indicating high anxiety .... so it is wise not to ignore the warning signs. We 'tested the waters' with a few diversionary tactics but the conclusion was that the night was over .... so we're back in our lovely room enjoying DVDs and books.
Thankyou for all the SMS'd birthday wishes.
