Sanur 11 – 16 September 2010

Said goodbye to the wonderful staff at Agung Kahila and set off for Sanur and the Sanur Beach Villa. The villa was a bit run down but everything was working and it had A/C so we were glad to settle in for a swim. We meet Ron (an ex Aussie) who owned the place and gave us some local drum. Even though the weather was quite hot, we decided to go for a walk along the beach and look at the sights. At first glance, the beach is not as nice as Jimbaran and quite a lot dirtier. Peter got up early the next morning to catch the sunrise over the water, which was very scenic. After a refreshing swim, we wandered up to the local markets and the girls took part in their favourite sport – shopping! Laura was going that night, so we settled for a quiet evening around the pool, catching up with the other guests. On Monday morning, we went up to the north of Sanur Beach and had a relaxing time on the beach – seems a nicer area than the southern part. As it was very hot, we headed back to our villa for a refreshing swim in the pool.
Wednesday morning we got up early and decided on a smorgasbord breakfast on the beach with lots of the ‘wrong’ food we had been craving! Had some bad news from home – Nell had fallen and broken her hip. She had been taken to Wollongong Hospital and Michael and Sandra were looking after her. We were heading off that night so did a last minute round of bargaining for trinkets and back to the villa for another swim. That evening we walked up the road and had a drink in one of the fancy hotels and a meal in a local café. Said goodbye to Katie, Carl and Xavier and headed for the airport and a very straightforward trip to Brisbane.
