Had breakfast by the pool, mie goreng for me & banana pancakes for the kids. I asked the waiter for some kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) & some chilli. About 5 mins later, out came my soy sauce in a jug with slices of fresh chilli - I actually meant chili sauce but didnt explain myself well enough! Needless to say, it was delicious... A little hot though.
After breakfast the kids went for a swim while I relaxed on a sun lounge.
My son started to feel unwell a little later, so he went to lay in bed while I sat on the terrace watching my daughter swim. Am so glad now that we didn't change rooms as it was handy being so close to the pool.
Later went for a short walk & found some DVDs for the kids to watch while I used the free 15 min foot massage in the hotels small spa. I paid for an extra 30 min back, neck & shoulder massage as well. I felt safe locking the kids in their room busy watching a movie while I was having the massage as it was within the hotel & a very short distance from our room. I also informed the lovely staff on reception that my kids were in the room by themselves & showed my son how to phone reception if they needed anything.
Had nasi goreng for lunch across the road at Wayan & Friends with a Bintang.
Before our trip I had organized via email an order of DVDs. The company sends a list, you make your choices, then they deliver to your hotel. Fantastic service & if you buy a certain qty they are presented in a folder in clear plastic sleeves. Much better than in the thin plastic that always rips that you get from shops. Thanks to Micbali & his forum for recommending this company. Here is the link if you are interested.

Son still not feeling well, lucky no D or V, just flu like symptoms of feeling hot then freezing cold and his body aching. He didn't feel like leaving the room & my daughter wanted to stay with him, so we ordered room service & they watched another movie. I had dinner in the hotel's restaurant & this time tried my first western dish. A friend had recommended their ribs & I was not disappointed. They were in a sweet smokey glaze & the meat just fell off the bone... absolutely delicious. There was so much on my plate, there was no way I could finish it all, so I asked to take back to the room. Later my daughter had fun feeding 2 cats out the front of our room. We had seen them earlier, but they were very timid... that is until they tried the ribs, we were now friends for life!
Hopped into bed with the kids & I feel asleep watching a movie....
