Selamat Hari Raya Galungan Villa Mimpi has been doubly blessed this morning with copious offerings Firstly from our landlord and his daughter Then from Putu, our Villa Manager
Love is in the air at Villa Mimpi! Welcome to our honeymooners Mireia and Sergi.
Yesterday was Galungan, to celebrate Putu created a traditional penjor for outside the house and many offerings were made.
We are delighted that fibre optic internet has reached Penestanan and Villa Mimpi with a speed of 10mbps and unlimited download. It doesn't end there though - we now have 101 TV channels available!
Congratulations Putu & Luh De on your wedding - It was a beautiful celebration and thank you for sharing it with us. We wish you a long and happy life together.
Many of you will have met Putu, our villa staff, he was married to Luh De on Tuesday but the celebrations will continue for another week. Here are a couple of photos taken by Putu's cousin.
New and old friends in the garden watch over us
If you are lucky enough to be staying in April or May you will be able to eat avocados every day from the trees in the garden. PS Beaded baskets from artisans in our village.
Selamat Hari Raya Galungan. Putu came to make offerings at the penjor shrine this morning.
A day of renewal - our furniture restored to its former glory and baby rice planted in the rice fields below the terrace today
To all our Aussie friends - you should be planning a visit to Bali. With the current exchange rate Villa Mimpi costs less than $120 per night! Bargain!
We are very happy to have come to an agreement with the local owners of these gentle street dogs for Villa Mimpi to pay for complete vaccinations (including Rabies) and sterilisations which will be carried out by BAWA (Bali Animal Welfare Association). This will make life much easier for the dogs - who are mother and daughter - and for the local family who live in the laneway just up from the Villa. We are just in time to save them both from having litters of unwanted puppies.
The orchid tree is blooming
At least our orchids are enjoying all the wet weather!
