Gladys on the GO ( Again !) Adventures of Christmas 2017
Once again , my son James and daughter-inlaw Mylene very kindly invited me to join them for a Christmas holiday . This time we went to Bali , Indonesia .
I flew from Glasgow to Dubai and then a few hours later I was off to Bali on 18th December and arrived on 19th December 2017 .
Club Med where we stayed for our first week was amazing . They have a 6-hole golf course , Spa , 4 tennis courts , archery , 4 swimming pools , one of which is for adults only and a theatre . The grounds are magnificent and beautifully kept .
Every morning I went to the Yoga class with Mylene . I even did water aerobics . James and Mylene went for tennis lessons . Every night there was entertainment in the theatre . There were lots of different things going on at Club Med every day and you just could not be bored .
One day we walked along the beach to the Bali Art Museum in Sikut Satal Art Market and it was very interesting with beautiful works of Art .
On the 24th December the staff were all dressed up for the Christmas festival .
We went kayaking . I went with James and he did all the work with the paddles . After dinner we went to the Theatre to watch the circus acts . The trapeze artists were truly amazing . On our way back to our rooms we saw a brilliant display of fireworks .
25th December was another beautiful day and Santa arrived by helicopter .
The children gave a great performance in the theatre and praise must go to the staff who had looked after the children and organized the Christmas show with lots of singing .
The next day we were driven out to our next hotel called Purana boutique resort in Ubud . On the way our driver , Auguste , asked if we would like to visit a tea and coffee plantation on the way to our hotel , which we did . Tea and coffee samples were very tasty . The moment we arrived at Purana the staff came out to greet us .
