PRIVATE POOL VILLA. Beautiful compound, with excellent staff service. Had breakfast by the pool everyday. We never even used the pool, although did a little lounging in the sun. MASSAGES. Jay got a massage every day, and I had two in our five days.
OLD FRIENDS. Had the wonderful chance to catch up with some friends from New York, Sammy and Matt; I know Sammy from HKIS/1998. As well as Lizzie and John from Sydney; I know Lizzie from BIS/1990 - she was my first best friend, when we were 7 or 8.

FABULOUS FOOD. We had such delicious dinners every night. Warung Made, Chandi and Metis, and we discovered this roadside pizzeria along Jl. Drupadi, where we had our first and last meals in Bali. Warung Made has great local food, Chandi's has good fusion dishes, and Metis has the best ambiance with to-die-for chocolate soufflés.
BIR BINTANG AND MANDARIN MARTINIS. Managed to catch the sunset every evening, with bintangs on the beach, refreshing mojitos, yummy martinis and delicious cocktails.
AMAZING SUNSETS. What is it about Bali sunsets that make them so beautiful? The deep yellow and orange hues, watching dogs frolicking on the beach, and even sunset horse riding. Not to mention the many games of soccer by the local boys. Jay did join in twice, and got injured twice!
