A Day For The Girls

Sunday 26th June 2011
As mother of the bride, it was decided that I would organise a day out for all 'the girls'.
We were all to meet in the Novotel lobby at 10am for a day at secret locations.

16 of the 23 'girls' all ready to go!

Then it was into the cars, picking up a few of the stragglers along the way.

First stop, a spa in Kerobokan (if I tell you the name you'll have to shoot me, I'm sworn to secrecy!) Suffice to say, the infamous Kerobokan prison is a short stroll away. Many hours later (remember, there were 23 of us) we all emerged hair, nails, body scrubbed and pampered. We were all feeling pretty good :-).

Now that we are all looking and feeling beautiful, it's time for part 2 of the day. Back into our cars for the drive down to Seminyak beach. I had given everyone a clue as to where we were headed. I told them  that a bucket and spade wouldn't be out of place. We arrived at The Sandpit with a table already set up for us. As soon as we sat down, out came platters of nibbles - chicken satays, fish bites, mini pizzas, wedges and bruschetta -yum. Then out came the mojitos!!

Just when the girls thought it couldn't get any better, the bongo players arrived. Booked just for us. Seminyak beach, sunset, nibbles and drinks and bongos - what more could we ask for!!! What a great start to the wedding this couple of days has been. Many of the guests are visiting Bali for the first time. They have been blown away so far.

After such fun at the beach, quite a few of the girls piked out and went home. But we weren't finished! The wedding villa was empty and waiting for some fun!! Our patient drivers were there to drive us home. Time to check out the villa and wish the bride well with a few cocktails - as if some hadn't had enough already!

What happened in the villa on the girls night, stays in the villa!!! Needless to say I wasn't feeling all that well when I finally returned to my room!
