the BALI holiday at last!

I know I promised to do some updates while we were still actually in Bali, but the Internet connection speeds were just rediculously sloooowww... that, and relaxing took up so much of my time!

Sooo...... here are some shots of our fabulous hotel, the Alam Kulkul. We were very pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The tropical gardens and flowers all along this winding path, pictured, led all the way to our room. As you look across the pool - you can just make out our room there!
This photo is taken at the front door of our room looking back to where the last photo was taken.
This balcony/patio area was so private, that you could lay down and read a book and no-one would know that you were there unless they spotted your feet poking out
More of the private patio surrounded by lush tropical garden..... blisssss
Well this is our room, I forgot to take a photo the moment we arrived - it had been a loooonnggg day and I was tired! (Plane delay of 6 hours!) So consequently the room looks a little lived in... yup shopping bags everywhere.

Everyday we had flowers on the bed, I had mentioned how much I liked the pink/yellow frangipanis (flowers) to the housekeeping guys (yes they were all male house keepers - a good precendent!) and from that time on I had extra flowers on the bed and in the ashtray outside... (I used it as a floating bowl)

Aren't they beautiful?? I was spoilt!... I will devote a whole post to the flower display in the lobby, I won't say too much now - but it was brilliant!

We met this guy on our first night - while we were having tea.... he is the size of my forearm or slightly smaller... in the world of gecko Lizards ... he's huge!!

Our first day out adventuring - we didn't really get very far - but wound up here for a nice lunch... The legian beach hotel, just down the road from ours.

Well thats it for now.... I have a bit of editing to do to the rest of the photos. So I will add a few more when I get organised.

There are a just couple.... hundred!
