Christmas in Bali ...

I suppose before one leaves KLIA (the airport) in Kuala Lumpur for Christmas in Bali, tea and scones at Harrods would be appropriate, right? But after arriving in Nusa Dua on the 24th of December the family did have a great time in a warm tropical climate. We had occasional rain but there was plenty of time for the kids to play on the beach or in the pool. The kids really enjoyed making sand castles on the beach, taking a ride on a "banana boat" and spending lots of time in the pool. We took one full day for a taxi ride to Ubud, an area known for all kinds of crafts and also for its rice paddies.


Ample buffet breakfasts were inclusive in the hotel costs, so we usually ate light for lunch and then went to a nearby restaurant (all 13 of us) for dinner. - rw
