Just Put In On The Tab- Bali, Day 6

Our day at the pool.  I could definitely use about five more of these.  While the hotel was not our favorite, the pool was pretty great- we spent the entire day either in the water, laying out in the sun or resting in the beds built over the water.  It was pretty tough to beat.  Especially when there was a bar you could swim up to, if you felt like expending that much energy.  If that was just too strenuous, (which at certain points in the afternoon, it most certainly was), you could just have them bring you your drink.  Life is tough in Bali. 





For dinner, we headed out to Jimbaran Bay for dinner on the beach while we watched the sunset. 






We all got too hungry and impatient while we waited for our food so we took a walk down the beach to visit a man selling roasted corn on the cob.  I took the opportunity to show off my Thai dress that I bought in Phuket three years ago and have never had the opportunity (or courage) to wear.  Tonight was the night.  It was the right thing to do.  The dress was overdue for a night out.     



Some guys from the restaurant gave Aliana some blue lobsters to play with.
We had a great meal.  But then.....




We should have known.  

We were still in Bali.  

The Good and NotSoGood rule still applies.
Yep, all was going very well until my mom got very sick toward the end of the meal and provided us all (driver included) with a very eventful trip in the van back to our hotel on the other side of the peninsula.  

There are (thankfully) no pictures of this.

A note to fellow travelers: there are many strategically-placed convenience stores and gas stations between Jimbaran beach and Nusa Dua that may come in handy if ever you find yourself in rough spot.

The Amalfi Coast....Pontera, Ravello and Positano

After driving down from Naples, we made our way up the winding coastline to our Airbnb in the tiny town of Pontera in the hills above Amalfi...
