Transportation
Transfers from Airport on Arrival: (not included) Please organise your own transfer from Bali International Airport to the Parigata Hotel, Sanur – at your own cost (there are taxi counters directly outside the customs hall in the airport – it is very easy to navigate a taxi
from there).

Accommodation and Dining
Welcome Dinner included.
All accommodation with Daily breakfasts.
If you arrive before the retreat dates: I advise you to reserve a room in the same hotel as our retreat: The Parigata Hotel, Jl. Danau Tamblingan No. 87, Sanur. You may also book one near the hotel.
Transfers from the Airport on Arrival: Please organise your transfer from Bali International Airport to the Parigata Hotel, Sanur – at your own cost (there are taxi counters directly outside the customs hall in the airport – it is very easy to navigate a taxi from the there).

Exclusion
Flying into Bali
Return flights from your home country to Bali are not included in this retreat.
Please be aware that the first day of your retreat and the last day of your retreat are travel days. For example, if a retreat starts on 4 May to 16 May, you have to fly in on 4 May, and 16 May is the day you fly out.
When booking, please aim to land in Bali early afternoon on your first day, and exit Bali in the early evening / late night on the last day.
If you wish to fly in earlier we will pick you up from the airport on your arrival and bring you to the hotel in Candidasa.
Once you know your flight times, let me know and we can work from there.

What You Need to Bring
Extra Luggage
Since shopping is guaranteed, you need lots of space in the luggage! 😜
For the same reason, I also suggest you to get extra baggage for your flight back home, as airlines can be strict with their luggage regulation.
However, if it still exceeds, we can help arrange shipping at your own cost.
Patterns and Samples
Bring your favourite patterns for quilting/any textile projects so you can preplan your fabric shopping.
Since we also offer tailoring services, you can also bring your favourite dress/tops/bottoms as samples for our tailors.
Cash and Cards
- You will need spending money for lunch, dinners, drinks, souvenirs, optional tours and shopping days etc.
- Though not all, most places accept cards in Bali (like in my shop and cafe). I suggest bringing a little bit of cash (AUD$1000) and converting in Bali International Airport or on arrrival into Candidasa, or you can lend some from me to be paid back later. Plenty of money changers in Candidasa.
- Avoid converting it in the Australian airport – as exchange rate is low.
Suggested Attires
¾ pants and T-shirts or knee-length dresses are suitable.
Bathers for swimming.
Flip-flops and good walking shoes.
Last but not least, your sunscreen.
Sense of Humour
Sense of humour and easygoing approach to the Balinese people as they are one of the friendliest people on earth and really like to talk to guests.
With Gloria Loughman as your Tutor
Wacky Jacky's Textiles is a fully Indonesian company
The charges shown are in AUD (or your local currency), but the final charges will be in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah).
Don't panic though, as we've correctly adjusted the prices to our AUD benchmark. 😊
