Nusa Dua Bali

 

We arrived in dark, so while the first impression of our resort was good, we were looking forward to seeing it in the day light. This is a nice place. It’s slightly away from the beach, set on a small forested hill, so our room overlooks a tree lined valley, with our own plunge pool to sit and watch the world go by.

After breakfast we took the chance to cycle down to the beach before it became too hot. We were fortunate enough to visit Bali in September 2019 before lockdown. It felt like little had changed, but there were some places which had closed down. Covid did have an impact, but they are recovering. The recent G20 meeting was close to where we are staying. This is a country which is attracting investment and will continue to thrive.

     

After a little excerise, it was time to enjoy the facilities. The hotel and resort is very busy, but there are few Europeans. No idea if it is related, but the pools are very quiet. No early morning towels to block out the beds. The normal Brit v Germany towel race has not reached Bali. It’s nice to be back in Bali.  

Congratulations to Holland for making the quarter finals of the World Cup. England play their last 16 sixteen match against Senegal tonight. For us it is 3am, so we will set the alarm clock. Come on England.
