Bali Update

So we come to the final day of our first stay in Seminyak. The 4 days here have been enough for us. The majority of guests staying here for the wedding are friends of the bride's family and this is understandable. We are not always included in every happening which is fine.  We have had a great time with my sister who is new to overseas travel and her three boys and their wives.

I mentioned about the noisy nightclub next door. When we got back to our room after a day's shopping, eating, drinking and chatting at around 9pm last night the nightclub noise was in full swing and we noted there were 2 sets of earplugs supplied. The noise was horrific and come 9:45pm I  headed to reception to raise my concerns.

We were immediately offered an alternative room to sleep in for the night. Our room is around $100 per night. We were given the use of a single bedroom unit which had a $200 per night price tag. The photo above gives you a hint of what it was like. Yes, that's a private pool outside the lounge window. Despite being at the other end of the hotel you could still hear a little of the nightclub noise. But it was heaps better than room 124!

Last night we negotiated a driver and car to take us down to the vicinity of where the wedding service is to be conducted tomorrow late in the afternoon. Hopefully there won't be a nightclub close by. We did a pretty good deal for our ride as it turns out.
