Bali bliss ...

our short trip proved to be a good relaxing and family-bonding holiday. after my last trip there over 10 years ago, and seeing as the husband and kids haven't been there, we figured Bali would be a nice nearby getaway. we ventured out of our 'home' in Seminyak, to take in the sights elsewhere (Ubud, Nusa Dua and Kuta) and then spent the rest of the time doing not much else other than eat and swim. there's that guilt and regret now in me for welcoming too quickly and willingly the spread of food. this week now sees me looking very much the whale. (mental note to self: granted, it was a holiday away from home, but still ... some willpower to resist the temptation please!)

below, some photos from the trip then.

great holiday. would definitely go back, but with the large number of very attractive hotels, resorts and villas, i'm sure we'd be tempted to spend our days and nights in a different one next time.
