Don't you just love the feeling of waking up on the first day of your well desirved vacation! The first thing you see is the bottles tax-free alcohol you bought just before bording your flight and you know that those bottles will be empty before the end of your stay. And as a result you will have gained about 10kgs. Maybe not only from the alcohol consumption but from all the fantastic, exotic and fatning foods you're going to try. But at this stage, the first day of vacation, it does not matter one bit.
Bali was absolutely fantastic! The people were great and Club Med was nice. It felt great not having to cook every night and the only worry I had to put myself through was were my next cocktail came from or whether I felt like going to the spa or do a class of Pilates or play golf. 
On the first day at Club Med, Fred ran into a friend of his from Perth. The friend was there with his family too so the boys ended up drinking a few nights away when the kids and the wives were tucked in for the night.
The kids had a wonderful time at the Kids club and the staff there was amazing. We never had any tears dropping the girls off or picking them up. Not from the kids at least :) We never left the girls at the club a whole day. Most days we picked them up after their after-lunch-nap and then we spent the afternoon together. At the club. the kids had different activities planned everyday. One day it was 'fish feeding', the next it was a treasure hunt and the next was sandcastle or boat building. We hired a nanny for Chloe so she could stay in the kids club too. The nannys name was Toma and had 4 children of her own. She was so great with Chloe and Chloe liked her a lot. It was not too hard leaving the girls everymorning as I knew they were well looked after and would have heaps of fun all day long. 
At night we went to dinner but before that we had an appero at the bar. They had live music there and Heidi really loved to sing along and dance. But I mean really loved it! At the end of our stay Heidi recieved a medal for 'Best dancer'. (I have to mention that Fred got voted 'Best dad' which was something that made both him and me very proud :)) )
I have to admit that this vacation was well needed for all of us. Fred has been working a lot, having a little bubby and dealing with 'the terrible twos' have been tireing so just doing nothing for 10 days was perfect for us. Fred and I got to rest, play some golf, I went a spa a few times (Baliwis spa). Amazing! If you havent tried hot stone massage before, try it! You'll feel devine :)) 
So yeah folks, Bali was a real treat and if I get my way, we'll go back next year again. Poolside bars, beaches, spas, shopping, golf, 5 star accomodation - Im a simple girl :))Love,
