After preparing myself to work, I then brought Jacob to our room. Jayden followed. Jayden did some somersault on our bed, and we started dancing to the music waka by Shakira. It was excellent and fun. Lifted the mood in the morning.

We then joined the foam party in the pool and chilled. The pool is packed. After our foam party, we spent the rest of the time on the beach, letting the kids play with sand. 

We took a shower in our room and got changed for buffet dinner. Jayden stayed in their room overnight 

Day 2 

We woke up around 8 am and had breakfast together. Chilled by the pool. Met Steven and Leslie with their kids. They are leaving soon, so we didn't get to sit down together to mingle. After they left, we then moved to the beach to chill. I played my boomerang with another kid from the states. 

After the beach session, we had our lunch and moved on to the massage session in the banyan tree resort. It is a lot quieter there, and the Balinese massage was good. Gerda managed to get a 50% discount for the massage, which was good. We then went to the hilltop massage to pick up Alexandra and Jayden. The hotel staff cared for them while their mothers went for their massage sessions. 

We asked the staff if we could use the pool near the beach and the saffron restaurant. They allowed us as we had massage and dinner in the Banyan tree resort. It was so quiet we saw the monitor lizard. After Jenny and Gerda were done with their massage, we returned to our room to get changed for tonight's dinner in a Banyan tree resort restaurant. 

The Indonesian cuisine was not too bad apart from being too spicy for others. We spent like $310 on the meal, which was not cheap.
