A Blissful Break in Benoa, Bali

It’s our annual trip to Bali week with half the family.  This time we’re trying out Benoa, staying at the Novotel on the beach.

We were allocated rooms in the block across the road.  A very small road and always manned by two smiling staff to usher you across.  Similar to lollipop ladies at school complete with whistles and high viz sticks.  The traffic were not as well behaved as ours though and these men frequently had to whistle frantically to make any bike or car stop.

Beach side pool
Sea mist
Kids pool
Fishing boats
Flying high

All neatly squared for Becky’s Seven for September. Also as it’s the neighbourhood I’m in at the moment, I’ve linked it to Lens Artist.

As it’s school holidays beds on the beach are pretty limited.  There is another lovely pool in our block that’s nice and quiet and ideal for the kids.

On the first day I joined in aqua aerobics and didn’t realise how burnt I was getting. It’s quite bad and this hasn’t happened to me in such a long time.  Anyway I’ve learnt my lesson and now wear a solar top every day.

Hi A nanny of two and a mum of two adult children, mum to two fur babies and wife of one. I love to travel and up until recently travelled the world, now exploring Western Australia! I play bridge, board games, read dance and blog in my spare time.

  2. I’ve never heard of a solar top, Ali, but you Aussies are much more advanced in sun products than us. I love that misty shot over the pool.
