It was bright early in morning about 7AM when the crazy me decided to give the pool a try since it was too cold for a swim last night. And the pool was still too cold for a swim! I gave up and went to order for dine-in breakfast. Breakfast was included in the package when you booked with them.
By 10AM, the transportation that we arranged with Zoe Villa arrived on time to take us to Seminyak Square (20 minutes drive), the main city where you can find a bit of everything. Reaching there, we find varieties ranging from sports and fashion outlets, art markets to cafes and restauarnts. What a full shopping experience under one roof! We are not much a shoppers at fashion outlets so we didn’t explore the stores. Instead, we visited the nearby sonvenoir shop where we bought lemongrass salt bath because the boy said lemongrass can chase away mosquitos. After having been bitten by mosquitos last night even with three patches of insect repellent on my bed, I decided to give it a try once we get back to the villa at night.
We strolled along the markets where local vendors were selling their handcrafted stuffs and clothes and we bought a sky lantern for 120000 rupiahs since we never fly a sky latern before. Initially the vendor charged us 200000 rupiah which was too pricey so I haggled abit and he agreed on 12000 rupiahs.
There are many cafes around and most of the time, I was googling for food reviews which is always a habit of mine. We were quite famished when the boy discovered a staircase up to a cafe, and after reading much good reviews about it, we decided to give the cafe a try.
It was a very quiet and nice ambience, and we were the only ones around which is kind of surprising since they have such good reviews online.
They sell mainly pizzas and pasta, where you can actually order 2 pizzas into one pizza if you cannot decide between pizzas.
We found that out after the waitress was listening to us contemplating between the two pizzas we want and she voluntarily and cheerfully said that we can put both of the pizza we want into one! That’s settled our bickering. Hahahah!
We opt for Lennon and Keith pizza into one and I ordered Gingle Ale while fiance ordered their cocktail drink, Zombie drink (Sailor Jerry, Triple Sec of orange juice, passoionfruit and grenadine). Let me tell you this…the pizza tasted so good! It is definitely way much better than Pizza hut or any pizza in Singapore. The Zombie drink tasted really good! More fruity taste rather than strong alcohol taste which suited both of our tastebuds perfectly.
We cab back to the villa to wash up and prepare for our private tour in the afternoon, which was also pre-arranged with the villa the night before. That will be in my next post!
