*squeel* AGAIN

i woke up late and started the day reading beedle the bard in the little gazebo in the villa by our private pool, followed by a long and invigorating swim at the public lap pool. yea, it was really refreshing :) after brunch and more slacking, we checked out and made our way to our next resort in a coffee plantation high up in the mountains (see http://www.losari.info).

and wow. is it another *squeel* worthy place again! i was running amok in the villa and the resort grounds once again, squeeling inside me all the while. haha. it's a whole different concept from amanjiwo, the previous resort. it's more in the style of the colonial era (dutch), with very strong local flavours and a touch of 'eco' tourism. somehow it seems as if everything's stuck in the good 'ol days from 'the age of greatness' with ur old world oppulence, european charm, and the ingenuity of blending all these with the best that javanese village quaintness can provide. besides having an infinity pool vanishing into the far away mountains and jungle (the resort is surrounded by no less than 8 volcanoes), the resort's got a very attractive grand old dame of a club house, where coffee is served in the afternoon, and where a pianist plays oldies to your fancy.

we got ourselves another villa at losari too. this time it's a 2-storeyed affair. my parents' room on the ground floor leads to a patio, with a large lazy couch, overlooking the mountainous jungled wilderness, while my room's downstairs, where i have lots of space and privacy all to myself ;)

i went for more swimming at the infinity pool, which was getting very cold when it started to rain, while my parents went off for another massage at the spa. the rest of the evening was spent lounging in the bar, and simply doing nothing :)

i did prepare a petalled bubble bath for my parents in their bathroom though. the bathtub just looked too good to not bathe in, and the bathroom has these large windows that look out into the wilderness too! n with the bowl of petals and candle just right beside the tub, how can i resist? haha :P
