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.

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.

~ Seven Shorelines for September ~

The beach is where I like to be and the best holidays for me are to be on a beach and swimming in the sea. We live near one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia and in the summer it’s a wonderful place to be. There are also a few river beaches, although I wouldn’t swim in these, too many jellyfish. My dogs love a good dip in the river though.

This week’s theme for Len’s Artist is Shorelines hosted by Anne @ Slow Shutter Speed and I will also link up with Becky’s Seven for September.
