Today our free day was just that - another day to catch the blog up and enjoy the resort. The sun was shining on us today after our very rainy day and night. So we really had nowhere to go and all day to get there.
A decision was made with some of us to take advantage of the $15.00 massages at a really nice spa. A whole body 60 minute relaxation massage for $15.00 - sign me up. Irene made appointments for 3:00. Most if not all of our group would be seen walking to and from the Ari Putri spa all day and into the evening getting various pampering treatments.
For now there was lots of time to just hang out at the beach or the pool until it was time to walk across the street to the spa. I enjoyed the slower pace and taking pictures of the squirrels and birds that I found nearby. Also took some resort pictures of this lovely spot.
The massage was wonderful after all our busy days and we added a mani pedi to it as well ... the whole bill with tip was $40.00 I must say that my mani pedi wasn't the best I have had, however, cleaned my hands and feet up nicely and it felt good to have someone look after me today.
Then dinner at Paon for the second time, I had chicken schnitzel which was delicious. Not a chili in sight. Then home and drinks with the Langley girls. It was a great day!
Days like this are good for talking about random things - one of my random things was about learning about mangosteen fruit. On the bottom of the mangosteen, there is what appears to be a raised flower design - if you count the petals on this design - it will tell you how many segments there are inside. The ones i have here show that the small one has 7 and the larger one has 6. Hmmm - curious about that - I would have though the larger the more segments.
The birds aren't plentiful around the resort - well, there are lots of spotted doves and the odd yellow vented bulbul - others I hear, but don't see them. Lots of frogs, toads chirping insects and fruit bats. Fun for taking pictures for sure.

Another super bunch of pictures April. Sounds like a super day after all your moving around and activities. These were kind of 'inactivities'. Weather has turned sunny for a few days and it is warm out. It means it won't be a surprise for you when you get back! Sigh!
