| BALI Mon June 17:
Our friend Clive’s Vila's celebrated their first anniversary. After an
enjoyable brunch at GLOBE Café, Nancy, Jamal & John motored
45 km up to Soca north of Tabenan Bali to attend the celebrations. The
last few kilometres is a village road the scenery is fantastic. After entering
the Vila’s grounds you are struck by the most amazing view. Immediately
you feel the peace and tranquility of Vila’s Tenang. RIGHT -The

Clive and wife Wendy
have designed the Vila's as a home away from home. The furnishings are
tasteful whilst practical. No way do you feel you are in a stereotype hotel.
Just the place to get away from it all. |
