Puri Kelapa, Uluwatu


I hope I have spelt the name properly. We are around 50ks south of Seminyak on Bali's southern coast staying at the Puri Kelapa Guest House. It is a little more upmarket than a guest house but isn't expensive. The room is cool, the bed great, not sure if we have hot water and the pool is welcoming if not too warm.

It is around 7am and a little misty. It is extremely humid. We have the wedding at 4:30 this afternoon less than a kilometre away from here.

There isn't tea and coffee nor any food served here at our accommodation.  However the little restaurant 50 metres away is excellent and inexpensive. Cold beer is available at the guest house at $2 a stubby.

There isn't a cloud in the sky and the internet here is patchy but usable.  Let's see if I can post this.

Our room is the end one in the photo below and around $40 per night. Another  great feature is it is so quiet here.  We both got around 8 hours sleep last night and have awoken refreshed this morning. Thank heaven there isn't a noisy nightclub just over the back!

The internet is good enough to get the footy scores.

Judy's eldest son Marcus and his family are here too at the same accommodation. They all went off to an in family pre wedding  dinner last night and decided to walk the 700 metres to the wedding venue. We will await their verdict on walking that distance in the tropical heat and humidity.

A big day is in store for us along with the challenge of getting to and from the wedding venue.  Taxis are few and far between and this is an Uber blacklisted area.  So walking may be our only option.
