Waterbom park

We didn't plan much sightseeing or visiting places while we were in Bali but this was one of the places we wanted to take the kids to. However, we picked the wrong day... It was the day the locals celebrate the full moon and there were so many road blocks. It should only take 30 min or so to get there but instead we were stuck in the car for more than an hour :(

But it was worth it! Stunningly beautiful day and the kids had a ball. We parked ourselves in one of the gazebos near the kiddy play area which was perfect.







I didn't want Ashley to be in the sun too long so we chilled out most of the day there.







There were lots of slides and rides for the family to enjoy. The kids love these slides, especially Luca. He just kept on going! He even decided to swim without any floaties, such a wild boy :)













Lazy river:



Fish Spa:



The bubble pool:

     

The staff there were just amazing. They were keeping good eyes on the kids all the time. And they seem so happy to be working there!
The kids spent more than 5 hours in this water gym!!









I am sure Matthew was there too but my boys ended up following Peter everywhere!











Ice cream break:



There were many rides for us adults to try but we ended up trying Smash Down which you slide for 5sec at 70kph and Race Track for 9 sec at 50kph. Both went down crazy fast but my concern was losing my contact lens and losing my bikini while sliding down so fast!



To finish up the fun day we decided to have dinner at one of the Mexican restaurants in Kuta that Peter knew. We initially thought about taking taxis but because of the full moon festival and the distance (it was not too far from Waterbom by car) none of the taxi drivers wanted to take us. So we ended up walking there. We thought it was only a 20min walk...





On the way there we found the famous restaurant and Mr Gump!



    

We ended up taking the completely the opposite entrance to the road where the restaurant was which meant walking an extra few km :( but we made it!



Finally we could relax and enjoy our dinner:





By the end of the night we were all exhausted but it was certainly worth the visit. I think my boys will be happy to be there everyday. I wish the entrance fee was cheaper. It was almost $100 per family to enter.
