Our last day in Bali was finally a rest and relax day. I got up early to get a workout in at the resort gym which was nice and empty! We grabbed breakfast at a different hotel on the resort property and were a little worried at first because the tram driver said it was a Japanese themed restaurant. It turned out they had a huge buffet of western breakfast foods along with some Asian foods. Isiah and Ellen were finally able to try some snake fruit and had the same assessment as Grant: that it was a more bland apple or pear.

Once our bellies were full, we headed down to enjoy some relaxation at Kubu Beach. To get there, you had to take a glass lift built into the cliffside to the bottom. It gave a great view of the ocean below and we got to see a couple of sea turtles pop their heads out of the water before diving deeper!

The water was pretty warm but like in Vietnam, the waves were pretty choppy. We grabbed some tropical drinks from the cliffside bar to enjoy while Grant and I browsed things to do for our coming days in Cairns. And yet again, I lost another pair of sunglasses (ones that isiah had just brought out) to the ocean waves. Will I ever learn not to stand in the ocean no matter how shallow with my glasses on? Who knows…

Since Grant and I were staying another night at the resort, we had received complimentary thalassotherapy massages. Neither one of us had done a water massage before so we decided to give it a try before our 5pm reservation at Rock Bar. We headed off to the spa while Ellen and Isiah showered and packed up their things to check out.

Turned out the massage was a bunch of different jets in a large pool that you would shuffle through. The jets were at certain heights to hit various parts of your back and legs along with feet. My favorite part was actually the waterfall one that targeted the neck and shoulders. We didn’t realize the clock at the pool was a little behind so we ended up rushing through a shower to get ready for our reservation.

Grant had previously seen this bar on the internet before we had booked the resort and it turned out to be on the same property so it was just a short tram ride away. We’re not sure if we actually had a reservation as they just put us in the same line as everyone else and sat us at a table nearby the water. We thought it would be a neat experience watching sunset by the water, but with the rain and umbrellas opened up in front of us it was hard to see for a portion of time. When it was closer to sunset, the rain fortunately stopped to view the sun descending and we were able to get some good pictures of the view. However, if you travel to Bali, we wouldn’t recommend it unless you want to overpay for drinks and experience the club vibes on a cliff.

We headed back up to our hotel to get one last skyline view on the rooftop bar before we had to say goodbye to Ellen and Isiah as they still had a day and a half left in Bali while we headed to our last continent of the trip, Australia.
