Half way there.........

Here we are...my reward for myself.... a clay spa treatment for my feet. 


Photobucket
I am waiting for the clay to turn WHITE and then I can wash it off in the HOT HOT HOT water. 


Photobucket
You can tell how hot it is by the steam.



Photobucket
Everyone enjoys a dip or two! ^^


Off we go for an energy packed lunch... I thought we are going to eat steak, roasted chicken, cheese fondue, or even burgers.....to replenish ourselves. ... but the truth is:.....

Photobucket
The candles are there for keeping flies away, not for a romantic purpose. lol 


Photobucket
I can't quite get used to the taste of west Java and had to run to Starbucks for scones and latte later at night. lol. 


After lunch, kids play at Kid Jones Park! Niel, Abby and Ilona love all sorts of flying fox and seem can't get enough of that.

Photobucket
Go, little rangers!!


Photobucket
Niel looks like a real "superman" there... ^^


Photobucket
This is such an unforgettable experience for Abby. 


Photobucket
Even Ilona is not afraid of flying fox!


Photobucket
Go, go, go, Niel!


I even ride flying fox (for adult) w/ Ilona before we are off for dinner!


We then had dinner at Paris Von Java Shopping Center which is quite a nice place to shop and dine!

Photobucket
Irina handmade dolls.


Photobucket
Some Indonesia ethnic fabric made bags. 


Photobucket
Yes, I bought some bags and belts.... for souvenirs again... to bring something back for my gals! :) 


I thought I would be exhausted by tomorrow w/ such intensive fun packed trip.... but I didn't ^O^. 
Stay tuned for more fun at West of Java!!

Make a Wish w/ Russia Babushka doll!!

My friend, Michelle asked me about my opinion of Chanel Babushka doll's necklace once and I said "Not worth getting it"!! Now I am not so sure if I would say the same thing to this adorable babushka doll clutch!! lol However, even I want to find it, this doll clutch is probably long gone by now!! I have a real Russia Babushka doll made in Russia which is a gift from 10 years ago! I couldn't find the same one in USA since this set of 15 nesting dolls are truly intricate!! This is the biggest one which has the most exquisite engraving. Total 15 of them! (2 are missing from the pic.) I heard that you can make a wish w/ these nesting dolls. If your wish comes true, you can open one until all 15 are all open!! I never made any wish w/ them, guess I was too realistic of a person myself. I don't know if each engraved temple/castle on the dolls represents something. You can't open the smallest one which is only the size of the little finger nail. I adore those golde
