I'll have what (s)he's having...
We awoke to a lovely warm morning and headed to breakfast to check out the buffet offering.
Just another day in paradise...
Today we were doing a diving refresh at the hotel, so headed down to breakfast to get our fill for the day. After being shown to our table and drinks orders taken we explored the breakfast area including the upstairs area we had missed earlier. It had a noodle station and icecream station and a waffle/pancake/crepe station.
Turtles and sea cucumbers and scorpion fish - oh my...
Today we headed out with Scuba Froggy to a 2 dive day trip to the Gili Islands, after breakfast of course.
Finding Nemo and Dory and their friends...
First order of business was to organise our clothes to be washed. I had been recommended a place by my massage lady so we dropped off our clothes (opposite Orchid Massage, down a little road and to the right) for the princely sum of $1.50/kg - to be picked up later in the day.
Lounging, leg room and power outages...
We were checking out of the Sheraton Senggigi today, so I spoiled myself with 2 crepes for breakfast - both were delicious.
Planes, trains and automobiles with a side serving of dinner...
We woke up nice and early to have showers and headed to the transfer desk to pick up our boarding passes for our next 2 flights: Singapore to KL and then KL to Hong Kong. We then headed to the lounge and I found a room with a massage chair! Score! I spent the next half hour here before joining Ben for a light breakfast.
Old friends, new food and sparkles...
We started the day by dropping off our laundry at Sun Wah Kiu drycleaners (Shop 8, 49 Hankow Rd) - just 5 mins from our hotel. 3.5kgs of laundry for $28HKD/$4AUD. We then headed next door to a pastry shop and bought a selection including BBQ pork buns, coconut and Mexican buns.
All over the town...
Today we headed to Sheung Wan first thing for breakfast and coffee at Cupping Room. Ben was happy that he found somewhere that does good coffee.
More stars, sightseeing and shopping...
It is so hot and humid in Hong Kong that we have gone through all our clothes so it was off to drop our clothes off at the laundry first thing this morning.
It's a long day after all...
Today we had a lot planned - Univeral Studios and The Tippling Club for dinner.
Travel day...
Today we are leaving Hong Kong and making our way to Singapore.
Kaya toast to the max...
We were leaving Singapore at 3.45pm so we had some time in the morning to explore. And we decided to walk to a nearby place for Kaya toast.
Lounging in Lombok - again...
Woke up to waves on the sand, and opened our window to this view.
What shall we do today...
Today started off like any other in Lombok - first stop breakfast!
Slip sliding away...
Today was our last breakfast, and how better to celebrate than with crepes?
