Off to Bali on Sunday for a week. We have four days in Seminyak and then three days in Ubud.
One of my mates is getting married, so a load of us decided to make a week out of it. We will be staying with all the journalists, at the Sofitel in Seminyak to start with, then to the Alila in Ubud.
The Sofitel looks quite nice:
So does the Alila:
The actual wedding is at Begawan Giri. Why am I not staying there? Check the rates! More pics here.
We have a couple of things organised. Diving on Monday and a “Boy’s Day” on the Thursday. Other than that, relaxing.
The Boy’s Day is rafting and river sumo (whatever that is!) followed by a good feed and a few brews, the diving:
10.00: First dive will be at the USS Liberty Wreck
11.30: Lunch at the restaurant
13.00: The second dive will be at drop off wall
15.00: The third dive will be at Batu Kelebit, just around the corner from Tulamben bay, 15 minutes by jukung this beautiful site, Batu Kelebit are two large underwater boulders lying just off shore from a point market by a jagged crest of lava.
18.30: Depart from Tulamben
21.00: Arrive back at your accommodation.
I simply cannot wait to see those boulders!
Ah, one, slight hitch. I just heard from someone. She’s in Bali.
Looks very nice - have fun. The Begawan is a bit tight not including breakfast when charging US$3000+ per night
Do you get 42 weeks annual leave a year? How do you take so much time off? And most importantly will you post photos on your return?
nope, just 20 days, plus 5 carried over. Get days off in lieu for working weekends. sure, i’ll be taking my new camera with me.
does that guy stand there like that in Alila?
that’s pretty sweet.
I didn’t click on your link to someone…but might it just be..the one with the facial tattoo?!For some sick reason I hope it is!Rip roaring good times ahead
Yeah, that’s the one.
