Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Tuesday Evening

[heroic_jawline]

Okay, tonight is a bit on the muggy and humid side of things, but fortunately there were actions you could take to mitigate such slight discomfort! You could swim in one of the many pools! You could go swimming with the horses (but not in a pool)! You could drink tropical cocktails--or mocktails, students, they're watching you--and ignore the humidity! You could wear very little clothing and dance on the beach!

It's night three in paradise, everyone! Enjoy it while you can!

Villas

[heroic_jawline]

Nihi Sumba has more than 27 uniquely designed villas, and we will be staying in five of them. Each villa offers breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean and Nihiwatu Beach, their own plunge pools, personal staff, living areas and kitchens. You don’t have to leave your villas all week! We’d like you to, though.

[OOC: Your room assignments are here.]

Kasambi Estate

[heroic_jawline]

Your beds in your Kasambi Estate rooms are king or two twins, depending on what’s funnier, your pool is private, you view is spectacular, and your estate’s personal butler is moddable! Post where you are in the estate so the other members of your group can find you. NSFW goes into personal journals.

Kasambi Estate: C Bedroom

[somethingwithturquoise]

Feeling pretty exhausted (and a little sunburned, ngl) from the trip that day, Summer felt like she should be out doing something for the evening, but she just sort of wanted to prep for tomorrow. Thankfully, the nature of the resort meant she didn't have to pull too many strings for a place to make her jello shots for the "room party" (obviously, they had a great entertaining space in the villa and she planned to use it, dammit!), and she'd been sort of laying some groundwork for procuring local ingredients and things like that.

So she was going to take evening to just sort of sit in the relative quiet of her bedroom with a notebook in one hand and a drink to sip on in the other, making some plans and jotting down ideas, occasionally referencing her phone here and there and just generally getting some of the brianstorming done before she had to really get to work on them tomorrow morning.

Puncak Estate Living Room

Clare was doing an excellent impression of an Irish person without sunblock in the tropics: she was very, very red.

That's why she was laying facedown on one of the wicker sofas and whinging about it. But quietly. For Clare. Which wasn't that quiet.

Charlie flung herself across the bed to relax a bit before heading off for the evening activities. Including dinner. Mmmmm... dinner! Maybe she'd just rest her eyes for a minute or two.

Around the Resort

[heroic_jawline]

You can have meals served at your villas, too, but if you’d like to mingle with more than just your cohort, Nihi offers three world-class restaurants, a large pool, and some of the most spectacular beach-front property in the world.

Ombak

[heroic_jawline]

The hub of dining activity is the main, sandy-floored Ombak (meaning wave front) restaurant and bar lounge. Ombak, an exquisitely crafted open-air restaurant, serves a la carte breakfast and dinner daily in a relaxed atmosphere. Tonight's dinner theme is local Indonesian cuisine. The large outside deck, cantilevered over the ocean, offers relaxed lounge seating and a spectacular private dining experience, The Nest, perched on the crest of the ocean, is perfect for a romantic dinner or an intimate group meal.

[OOC: First come, first served to the Nest! Beat your fellow players to date night!]

Belle would probably head to bonfire but for the moment she was eager to try out some of the local cuisine. The view certainly didn't hurt!

Kaboku

[heroic_jawline]

Visit Kaboku for an intimate meal of freshly caught seafood, Omakase style. Watch the sushi chefs prepare an assortment of catch-of-the-day against a backdrop of brilliant sunsets and a roaring beach fire. The chic structure captures a high-end Japanese sushi bar environment, while surrounded by the resort's signature open-air resort ambiance. The restaurant is open from 6 pm until 10 pm. The seven-course menu of local ingredients also includes avocado tofu, shrimp dumplings, Teriyaki dishes, miso soup, desserts, and more. Try the sake and wine pairing with your meal.

Nio Beach Club and Pool

[heroic_jawline]

The Beach Club keeps offering drinks and snacks as the sun starts to go down, and you can get them delivered to your chair by the pool. And isn't that what vacation is really all about?

The Beach

[heroic_jawline]

2.5 kilometers of white sand beach that looks like it's never been stepped on until you came along. Take a swim until it's too dark to be safe for that, watch the horses run in the surf, go for a walk at sunset. It'll be gorgeous.

Activities

Beach Party

[heroic_jawline]

Come on down for drinks, snacks, and stories around the bonfire. It's time for a beach party!

Re: Beach Party

[wildgalegirl]

Charlie was totally down for a beach party and she'd even brought her guitar in case anyone wanted to sing.

Re: Beach Party

[pun_king]

After a long day of exploring jungles and waterfalls, a beach party was just the thing! Graham was eager to try all the snacks, and pondered what sort of stories might be best to tell around that bonifre!

Re: Beach Party

[unusual_sith]

With all this humidity, Lana felt like she was back on Dromund Kaas.

With less lightning and more sand.

She was good for a party, though. She could so have fun!

Re: Beach Party

[outofthequiver]

Did a nice bonfire count as a good, relaxing wind-down period for the evening? Libby hoped so, because she was definitely pleased to be there, enjoying the fire and all the good energy from everyone having a nice time.

Yoga

[heroic_jawline]

Not up for a beach party? Or maybe you want to get good and bendy before the limbo pole comes out? The yoga studio is placed entirely so you get a beautiful view of the sun going down over the ocean while you pull your body into all sorts of positions.

(Not dirty. That was last week.)

Indonesian Cooking Class

[heroic_jawline]

Take a culinary journey through Indonesia starting with a tour of our organic gardens to learn about the local herbs and spices used in traditional Indonesian cuisine. Then, put it all to use in the kitchen cooking some of Nihi’s popular Indonesian dishes.

Explore on Your Own

[heroic_jawline]

Maybe tonight you want to swim with horses! We're not the boss of you! Just tell us what you're up to.

OOC

[heroic_jawline]

God, I want to be on a beach in Indonesia. I don't even care that the weather app says the humidity is 97 percent there.
