Day 13

Once again we took our time getting up, and then after breakfast we took the free hotel shuttle to Discovery Mall in downtown Kuta.  The hotel is a little way out of the main part, and so it is a good idea to get the shuttle, especially in the heat.
We had planned on buying a suitcase for Chelsea and we just happened upon a Buy One Get One Free promotion, so ended up with two medium sized purple bags.  We picked them up after finishing shopping at the market stalls and then having lunch while watching a torrential downpour happening outside.
We got a Bluebird cab back to the hotel and had to listen to the very chatty Sumatran driver giving his opinion on girls from different countries and the shapes of their faces.  Lucky he only charged us $2!
After dropping off our goods we decided to investigate the mall across the road, Mal Bali Galeria, and had to enlist the services of the security guy with his red flag to get us across. When we got into the mall we discovered that it was probably as good as the one we got the taxi to - just hard to access on foot.



In the evening we finally made it by hotel shuttle to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. The meals were pretty good and there was a live band from 9.30.  We got a cab back at 10pm.
