We stayed at The Haven located at Seminyak. The hotel was quite new and easily accessible. Unfortunately the weather wasn't very kind to us and it rained 3 of the 5 days we were there. But the idea of the trip was to spend time together so it didn't matter that we couldn't go to too many places.
We managed to visit the Bali Zoo and had lots of fun there. The tram ride allowed us to go very close to the animals like the lions and tigers and we even travelled over a small lake where the hippo was bathing. Daddy and I went on the camel ride and although it was not a very long ride, we had lots of fun. After the zoo, we headed to Ubud for some babi guling and then some major shopping at the local market. We also visited the Lotus Cafe and had ice cream while Daddy cool down with a bottle of beer. Dinner was at The Dirty Duck Restaurant which is a very nice eating place over looking the padi fields.
On the fourth day, we visited The Tanah Lot Temple. It was very crowded given it was the eve of the Chinese New Year and some locals were there for some ceremony. Daddy couldn't get many nice pictures as I wasn't very cooperative and didn't want to be photographed. However he did get a nice stick of roasted corn which was very sweet and smelled awesome. We also visited the Uluwatu Temple and like the Tanah Lot Temple, it was very very crowded with both locals and tourists. Gong Gong's glasses were stolen by one of the local monkey and thank goodness there was someone to help exchange the glasses for some bananas. The "helpful" man demanded 20,000 Rupiah from Daddy and he wasn't too pleased with that.
Although we didn't visit many local attractions, I think everyone had a good break.
