With the girls partying last night until 3am, then chatting until to 6am, it was always going to be a slower morning….oh to be young.

Andy however was up and running along the beach at 7.30am – how times change!

As we relaxed by the pool we watched the lizards dancing around the decking of the pool.

Late morning we decided to head out for a coffee and some brunch and were pleasantly surprised to find another great restaurant only a stones through from the villa.

It’s clear there is a lot of investment being made into this part of Seminyak with new buildings popping up which are of a high quality than before. The bar we were at wouldn’t look out of place in the Mediterranean resort.

The restaurant was very styled, and the food and drinks equalled the look and feel of the place. It’s pretty quiet, although I suspect that’s due it being the off season. Despite the development the rice fields remain and it’s a nice mix between the old and the new.

After a return to the villa pool to cool off and to see the sleeping girls we decided to return to one of the restaurants for the early evening cocktail promotion- 2 for 1!

The girls were all dressed up and sporting flowers in their hair.

We watched the sunset from the bar before tucking into our gin and strawberry cocktails. A big favourite all around which got us in the party mood.

Post drinks we edged across the road to get another new restaurant that is all about fire cooked food. One by one we all ended up plumping for the pasta dishes which were a real revelation with fab beef and lamb ragu.

The venue was nestled in the rice fields and felt idyllic in the illuminated evening light. This was another great find and just a short walk back to the villa.

Tomorrow we head back to the Potato Beach club as it’s forecast to be a sunny day and we plan to chill by the pool and have a day of indulgence.
