Friday 28th September will be Stag/Hen day. Venue's TBC and details to follow, but boys be Bintang fit and girls have your jiggy on. Girls we will most likely be based in the Seminyak area, and boys, I don't want to know.
Saturday 29th September we will be having some welcome drinks as you'll have hopefully all arrived in the Land of the Smiles. We have booked Cocoon Restaurant cocoon-beach.com in Seminyak for a chilled out afternoon. We have organised some pizzas and canapes, so mosey on down around 4pm in your best safari suit or sparkly kaftan. Cocoon is right on the beach and has a pool, so wear your swimmers under said safari suit and kaftan, and bring the kids. We have it booked until 8pm so don't feel any rush. Be great to see you there and you can all size each other up, and start bonding over cricket, the queen, the weather, vegemite/marmite etc etc
Monday 1st October - what a great day for a wedding! Make your way to the Khayangan Estate in Uluwatu for a big old knees up! Its next to the Bulgari Resort. At this stage, (and don't get nervous we actually came back from the reccy still wanting to go ahead with the wedding) we are hoping to start the ceremony around 4.30pm. One thing to note when planning where to stay, while Bali is beautiful, the traffic is horrendous. For those of you staying in Seminyak you are advised to leave 1 1/2 hours travel time to the villa. Once there we presume most of you will have your dancing shoes on so by the time you leave, if you leave, the travel time will be less than half of this on the way back. Unless of course you walk home, forget where you live, the waiter that takes you home on his moped runs out of gas, you confuse Malaysian Ringgit with Indonesian Rupiah (Jim) and the taxi driver kicks you out, or you fall over on the dance floor and end up with multiple stitches in your lip (Emma). Things can go wonderfully awry in Bali.
Children most welcome at the ceremony although as mentioned the Balinese are wonderful with kids if you would prefer to get your jiggy on early. For those with babes in arms we will provide a couple of babysitters for the evening. There will be a quiet room you can leave them in and pop back to feed.
Tuesday 2nd October we are hosting a recovery BBQ at the Khayangan estate. If you wake up and found you've slept in the bushes, wipe yourself down, and head to the pool for a BLT and an ice cold Bintang. All welcome but don't feel obliged, we will be there all day so pop over from 1pm. Again bring swimming apparatus. Mick and Rob have been banned from mankini's without a full crack, back and sack. There will be a 'friendly' Ashes taking place on the lawn and the kids are welcome.
Thats all folks. You'll either want out, or want to move out to Bali.
