We started the day off by cooking Daddy a meal in bed. We made pancakes with Nutella on the side.
We collected up some frangipani flowers and put our cards, some coffee and the food on a tray with the flowers to make it pretty.
Emily and I carried up the tray and surprised Daddy with it!
We served it up and then jumped into bed with him to have a breakfast feast and lots of cuddles.
Then we drove to Kuta, a busy city to go go-karting.
We had the karting track to ourselves so we had a nice empty run, and no thugs!
It was so fun to ride the karts but they were really hard to turn because they were heavy and the steering wheels were really stiff. The track was really twisty and swervy, and Daddy raced through it really fast. We all got out of his way so that he could get the fastest score of the day.
After karting we went to a lovely beach club for lunch.
When we set off for MonicoFamilyTravels (right at the beginning of our trip), Dinne (our grandmother) gave us a big bag full of little treats and games. We got to do a lucky dip and get a new one out to play with at special moments. Here is an example of one that was really handy and fun to take to restaurants with us.
I really enjoyed my apple mojito mocktail. Emily and I both had one. We had chicken noodle soup for lunch and it was nice to know that we hadn’t forgotten how to use our chop sticks!
During the afternoon we got a giant lounger bed with enough room for 4, and relaxed enjoying the sunshine.
After we went in the sea and then rinsed off, Emily and I did our puzzle book while we dried.
At the end we got to watch a beautiful sunset although lots of Instagram posers went in front of us and blocked our view!
Then we walked across a beautiful bridge (that smelt like poop) to a fancy Italian restaurant for dinner.
I was forced to wear a dress for dinner, but Daddy liked that and today was all about him (although we all had lot of fun too!).

Love your blog, Bella. What a very special day you all gave Daddy, starting with a lovely breakfast tray with scruffy nutella pancakes and cards made by you and Millie – a day he will never forget.
Can’t wait to see you all when you are home.
Lots of love from Sarah

Goodness, your aunt is at her computer early on a Saturday morning!
What an amazing day, sounds like a pretty perfect Fathers Day, to be remembered for ever, thank you for writing such a good description of it for us. Maybe Mummy will be here next year to make Grandpa pancakes for breakfast – we can’t wait to get you all back. I love it that you find the Lucky Dip bag fun, perhaps Millie could bring that game for the cousins to play at our Golden Wedding lunch next week?

Thank You Bella for taking us through such a great Father’s Day for Daddy. It sounded perfect. I would have loved the Go-Karts and I bet you would have beaten him if you had tried,but that would have been unfair on his Father’s day. Last time I Go-Karted with Daddy he beat me and I was trying really really hard to beat him so maybe not. What an amazing (another amazing!) sunset and how sweet of you to wear a dress to please Daddy on his special day. You can though keep the dead rat!!
