My gorgeous husband's 30th Birthday
And he let ME sleep in till 9:30am while he swam with Abi. Bless his heart.
Chef made me French Toast for breakfast which was sweet and perfect.
At this point, I started to feel quite sick all the time. Started taking immodium and stemetil for the nausea.
Usual poolside behaviour for most of the day. Books were read. Magazines flicked through. Laps were swum. Music was played. Jokes told. Lots of attention for the Birthday Boy!
Had the most devine lunch on the pool deck. Pork, Chicken and Beef satay. With indonesian fried rice. And haloumi cheese kebabs with salsa. Bliss.
Had massage booked for 3pm in the treatment room (YES, our villa had it's own massage room!) but was too sick by then to have it so my mother-in-law took my place. She floated out of the room an hr later, I was green with envy... And green with illness.
Took an afternoon nap while Abi slept.
The tide was out alot that day, you can see the seaweed farmers on the photos of the beach below the villa.
Swapped a cocktail for hydralite replacement drink before we headed to Uluwatu Temple at sunset to celebrate husband's birthday.
It was so hot and sweaty at the temple.
There was an "incident" between a monkey and my mother-in-law which was rather scary and funny at the same time. A HUGE monkey stole her glasses by jumping on her and CLAWING AT HER FACE. He then began to smash and scratch them on the brick wall he was sitting on. A coupled effort from a local guide and my father-in-law, the glasses were returned, before we paid off the guide for his help. Her new Chanel frames were returned but were slightly damaged. A minute later we saw another monkey steal a pair of Oakley glasses from a tourist and THROW them over the cliff into the ocean below. Tough break.
Hot and bothered, we left the temple and thousands of people, before the cloudy sunset and headed back to our retreat.
Cocktails, presents and good company were the focus of the night. James requested a seafood buffet including lobster, prawns, fish, calamari... The chefs went above and beyond for us... We ate till we couldn't move.
I bailed out early and headed to bed feeling ghastly ill.
The rest of the family crawled into bed hours later.
