Nusa Dua Terraces

Our forth day in the Nusa Dua Terrace, which has been very self indulgent, so we decided to avoid posting a blog over the last few day. We are now 12,455 km from London and 8,166 km from New Delhi. We travel back via New Delhi, so a long way to travel home for Christmas. Its been the longest time away from Ryan and Danny, so we are looking forward to seeing them and the rest of our family and friends. 

Our hotel is next to Bali National Golf course, so I took the opportunity to play. The green fee includes a buggy and caddy. The temperature is around 30 degrees and humid, so a buggy is needed. The course is beautiful and tough, especially when you have not hit a golf ball for six weeks. Each hole is tree lined, so a perfect trap for any shot which is not straight. On the third hole I managed to put my ball into the trees. My caddy went armed with a club to find the ball and I followed. No luck, so a lost ball. While driving to down to the green I asked if there are snakes. “Oh yes” was the answer many Cobra’s, but they normally sleep during the day. Searching for balls on a Bali golf course is over rated.

I decided not to share my score, which was far from good. My Caddy did make my score a little more acceptable by sharing her course knowledge. The caddies have little playing experience, but they are trained for a minimum of three months to read the greens, know the course yardages at any point on a hole and recommend the shots lines, which was wasted on me, but very impressive. 

Apart from this, we have spent our time around the pool and enjoying the bars and restaurants, which ridiculously feels more tiring than it should.

  We move to our last hotel in Nusa Dua tomorrow before heading home.
