Bali birthday treat

For the first time in too long we are having a short family holiday - in Bali. As coincidence would have it, Mark, Ashleigh and I flew out on my birthday. Mitchell & Shi Shi were already here, having already spent a week relaxing. We quickly settled in to our lovely 3 bedroom villa in Seminyak. This is the door to our villa from the walkway. We have 3 buildings with a private pool...and a welcoming doorman!! This is our kitchen/ dining/ lounge. All big enough for 8 people. The lovely tropical flowers in the foreground are a surprise gift from Mitchell & Shi Shi and give a welcome bit of colour to the room. We then headed out for a small lunch and a massage. Though we only walked a couple of 100m I was soon finding the heat and humidity a bit much. After happy hour cocktails at our resort, we went to Sarong for dinner. We prebooked from home as it is a very popular restaurant. The food was delicious and I had a great birthday night and was (and am) thrilled to have the 'kids' here. For the foodies - A little peek at some of the food. These are 2 types of betel here. Chicken and salmon. Both delicious and burst with flavour in your mouth. The other dish is Pork Belly with mandarin - a perfect combo :-)
