\nAfter breakfast, we just lazed about. Then we had another obligation to fulfil, i.e. to bring the sponsor<\/strike> my dad out for a massage (\u201cCome to Bali no massage? How can?\u201d<\/span>). <\/p>\n

Only my SIL, my dad and I went. The massage centre provided free transport, and we all chose hot stone massage. Sharing the same room with my SIL, we were hoping for a relaxing massage, but the 2 masseurs were chatting throughout the 2hrs. The massage wasn’t that good too, felt just like someone rubbing oil on you. Grrr.<\/p>\n

Daddy stayed at the villa and spent time taking photos<\/strike> accompanied the girls when they swam.

When we got back from our massage, lunch was ready (prepared by the villa).

After that it was rest and relax and then at 4:30pm, our booked vans arrived to bring us to Jimbaran to watch the sunset.<\/p>\n

The girls have no appreciation of the view, but they were happy to get to play with sand.

The place was crowded with tourists as well as locals.

Sam has very kindly relieved me off my porter duty.

When the sun was about to set at the horizon, we started seeing some tourists doing weird poses for their cameras, i.e. one put her hand out in such a way that it looked like she was carrying the sun; a few couples were kissing so the sun was just above their joined head; etc etc.<\/p>\n

Here is my version. \"SandmanDaddy didn’t position the camera properly, so no ‘stylo-mylo’ shot.<\/p>\n

After that, it was time for dinner. There were so many restaurants at the beach that competition was steep. My brother and sister went hunting for a restaurant which offered the best discount and they found one which was willing to give 30% off. <\/p>\n

While waiting for the food to be served, Zara taught her cousins how to do the kung-fu panda dance she learnt for her concert. \"Sandman<\/p>\n

And Daddy of course, went to do more photo shooting.

After dinner, one van drove some of the people home, while another brought a few of us to Kuta to buy DVDs. Imagine, 10,000Rupiah (USD1) for 1 DVD, and when you buy 10, it’s free 4. Buy 20, free 10, etc etc. My brother, my nephew and I bought almost 60 over pieces of DVDs and paid 30,000Rupiahs! What a loot.<\/p>\n

\nIt was time to pack up and leave after breakfast. My extended family checked out of Villa Longhouse, and went shopping in 2 vans then later catch a flight back home; while our family of four took another van to get to our new villa in Seminyak.<\/p>\n

I’d spent a lot of time on researching for a place to stay (no Kuta, Ubud, Nusa Dua because we’d been there, no big hotels) and finally agreed on Cicada Luxury Townhouse<\/a>, it is located near Petitenget beach at the fringe of Seminyak, the best part is payment is via paypal! So my blogging actually paid for our stay!<\/p>\n

And it looks exactly like what is shown on the website. We get a plunge pool big enough (but rather deep) for the kids to splash about. \"Our<\/p>\n

The spacious living room with a kitchenette gave us lots of space.

We didn’t do much except walk around to look for restaurant for lunch, checked out the beach in the evening and then later, went to a highly rated (at tripadviser) local restaurant Warong Sobat, near the villa, for dinner.
