Bali Part 1

Have spent two weeks in Bali doing an extended family holidays with the boys, their cousins, mother, uncle and grandparents.

A long wait for bags at Denpasar Airport, with Sam having a rest. There was around 45 minutes gap between the first and last bags coming off.

We were staying (at Garden View Ubud – highly recommended) near the Monkey Forest in Ubud and if you open your bag for any reasons a monkey will jump down and try to get into it. We also had them come around our hotel swimming pool and steal a bag of chips off us.

We visited Taman Safari Bali which I highly recommend. Heaps and heaps of animals and encounters.

If you think climbing a tree to get away from a tiger works, I have bad news for you!

This is the view from the toilets at the restaurant!

Feeding a giant turtle.

The first part of the visit is walking around, and then you get to do a bus, jeep or cage visit around the wilder animals.

Not often you see the double humped camels.

You can even stay at the safari, so wake up to a rhino outside your place!

An elephant looking for food.

And after all that walking about, they have a water park to cool off on.

If you go to Bali with kids (or without), I highly recommend the Safari Park. We thought we’d be there for two to three hours and ended up there for eight hours.
