Villa Sankara, Canggu, Bali - 27th July 2008

We have spent 24 glorious hours at this beautiful young (heard that it's only 2 to 3 months old) Villa Sankara, Pentai Berawa, Canggu, Bali.

4 + 1 more than comfortable bedrooms with 5 bathrooms, we are really enjoying this trip.

The view from my bed this morning reminded me of The Chedi, Phuket from 6 years ago, but the beach is much nearer this time.

The pool is a little chilly for the this tropical girl as the sun just misses it, as the eternity end of the pool faces south-southwest.

Had gone to Matahari, Kuta this morning while the 3 golfers went golfing, and 2 ladies slept in. The cab ride from Canggu, to Kuta (Matahari & Bali Bakery), to Jalan Bypass Ngurah Rai (to get lunch from Natrabu) and back to the villa was almost 300,000rp. I spent over 3 million rp all before breakfast! Feeding a dozen people is not cheap.

We are on vacation after all...

The afternoon was spent in and around the pool, as everyone was massaged. We'd ordered the masseurs from Manori Spa (recommended by our Bali Zen friend) and they were well received.

Dinner was Fata's beer butt chicken and pork chops, with the villa chef's pasta and mee bakso. TS & WG (staying at Villa Lombong) brought macaroons and yummy cheese and puff pastry cakes.

Looking forward to the next 4 days, albeit slowly. Don't want the time to pass too quickly. :-)
