Bali Day 14 onwards: Seminyak

I love Seminyak!

It was such a welcome break after 2 weeks of full-on itinerary in having to do something and be somewhere to get to some place. It was such an absolute bliss to have no planned activities whatsoever and just go with the flow; whatever and whenever we feel like it. Not to mention that we went a little decadent in booking ourselves into a rather luxurious pool villa and hence, I am ever so glad that we decided to do Seminyak last. The villa aside, Seminyak itself is really one of the better places in Bali to chill out.

Of course it rained like the first 2 days we were there, rendering us helpless and the private pool villa we had useless. So when the sun started shining on the last 2 days, we were happy like pigs in shit!

The only weird thing though, we were greeted with some form of towelled-origami found on the bed or on the laundry line right next to the bed on every single night after our dinner outside their premises. The first night we got was a pair of swans which was oh-so-romantic nice and the next 2 nights were these:


I have no idea what they were supposed to represent, but they did look disturbing. They kinda looked like suckling pig on a grill or something. We had only one on the second night and they upped the ante to 2 on the 3rd night. It was not only weird, it was macabre! Who would want to see suckling pig being hung next to the bed?

The last day in Seminyak was pretty much spent lounging around and watching Channel NewsAsia to catch up on news in Bangkok from our little pool. We were almost sad to leave the glistening waters and pure hedonism behind!

When I first saw the towel thing, my hair at the back of my head stood on end! So eerie!!! Is it some form of black magic or warning? I would have called the Manager in for an explanation!

But today it doesn't look so scary... like installation art?!

Getting paranoid.
