Queenie and Denise's Adventures in Seminyak
After the long journey to get to Bali, we setted into our little Balinesian home Resor Seminyak. We were exhausted but so happy to be here. They greeted us with a welcome drink and showed us to our room. Then it was off to have a foot massage, just lying back, looking at the ocean and sipping ginger and black tea.
Next a change of clothes and out for a pizza, yes I said pizza :) It was the bestI ever tasted. Then a quick stop at the Bali Deli which is a Henrys in disguise. Back at the hotel, we blissfully dosed off into Bali dreamland.
In the AM we dined on fresh tropical fruit, and omlets they prepare infront of you. People from all over the world are in Bali so we play "Where are they from" Queenie went off to start her purchasing for the shop, so Snow and I took a trip into town. The streets are filled with thousands of motorbikes. Sometimes an entire family of four on one bike. It's crazy. Snow headed to Chill salon for a nice massage and I went to Sooth Salon for foot reflexology, Then Snow and I did a bit of shopping just wandering down streets and stopping her and there like the bar here and the bar over there. Suddenly a pedicure sounded nice. After a wait of a half hour or so, in the Thank You Bar of course, we prededed to get the worst and longest pedicure in history 2 and a half hours. And they didn't know how to polish. So we headed back to the Thank You Bar and started in on the flaming shots. The Bali Boys kept us in the lap of Bali luxury with comfort and cocktails. We ran back to the resort to drag Queenie to the Thank You Bar. We ended the evening with cocktails and massages from the Bali Boys at the Thank You Bar.
Next morning another fabulous breakfast and Queenie ws off to shop on the Avenue of Sarongs. Snow and I headed off with Ketut on a little sight seeing tour. We went to the Balinesian Theater to see a play and to the Batik factory to see how it's done. Then off to the temple. It sat out in the sea with huge waves crashing over it. Very Beautiful, but very hot. The best find of the day was a small drink stand with two large bottled waters and a Bintang beer for less than 2 bucks. Snow and I decided to take a shrt nap until Queenie returned for dinner, and woke up the next morning. All that heat and cold Bintang Beer did us in. Waking famished to another incredible breakfast, a quick packing of our stuff and ne last jaunt into town with Queenie for some last minute shopping and we were off to Sanur. Not before we had to go back to every shop we had been in to find Queenie's black folder she lost. Of course it was in the last place we went to. In Bali or at home Queenie is Queenie.
