Our last morning at the Amnaya Resort, so we went all out with their healthy & yummy breakfast offer. So colourful and so delicious, they are definitely up there as one of the best we’ve had on the whole 9 month tour to date.

After 5 days being waited on each morning, having our coffee, juice, toast, muesli and then egg & avocado muffins delivered to our table almost telepathically it’s going to be very hard going back to making the damn thing ourselves!

As our Airbnb in Canggu wasn’t available until after 3pm, we made the most of our late checkout and luggage storage and hung around the hotel pool until mid-afternoon.

With the combination of the sunshine and the pool, we enjoyed our last couple of hours of comfort, before jumping in a Grab and heading up the coast to Canggu.

Driving in Bali is a real experience, despite the journey being only 10 miles, due to the heavy traffic and narrow winding roads, the drive took well over an hour.

This provided us an opportunity to take in the changing scenery, with an increasing number of padi fields and the view of the coastline. We eventually arrived at our home for the next 12 days, which sits a few hundred metres from the beach, on a small side road.

We booked the Airbnb as it caters for four and has a large kitchen and living space along with bedrooms for all. Added to this it has a plunge pool and a deck for the girls to sunbathe.

Once unpacked, we headed to the beach to explore and discovered that the sand was a lot darker, almost volcanic in colour. The waves were bigger than down in Kuta and it’s clear that the Canggu tourist is a lot more aspirational, given the wealth of fashionable bars and restaurants that line the sea front.

Canggu is definitely a vibrant and trendy destination with a laidback vibe that the girls will love.

Whether you’re into surfing, wellness or exploring the local culture the place offers lots to see and do.

There are a number of popular surf spots close by including Echo beach and Berawa beach.

Added to this there are the beach clubs and we quickly found ourselves in amongst the great and the good of The Lawn, a chic beachfront hangout ideal for watching the sunset views.

Canggu is also famous for its vibrant cafe scene and we went to Milk and Madu, which proved perfect for late afternoon pizzas.

We’ve heard about a veggie place called Shady Shack which is on our list to visit as it’s got a great garden setting.

The beach setting offers breathtaking views, especially at sunset and when we headed down around 6pm, we found the beach teeming with people waiting for the sun to come down.

Once the sun did set it was great to be amongst the young people who dominate this little part of Bali.

We have 12 days here so plan to check out other places to visit. The girls have told us all about the attractions in Uluwatu and so that’s on our list to visit and enjoy the cultural scene of the cliffs and beaches.

After stopping at a couple of cool bars early evening for drinks and to people watch (it’s definitely a place to be seen if your young and good looking…), we returned to our Airbnb and its stylish bedrooms and caught up with the latest Slow Horses series on Apple TV.

Tomorrow Amelia and Meg will arrive from the Uk, so we intend to do a food shop first thing, so when they do arrive, they feel properly at home and catered for!
