Sanur April 2013

So I had good intentions to do this blog whilst in Bali and that didnt happen. Wifi at our villa was not working and I spent more time trying to get a connection than I would have liked too...so frustrating. So I attempted some HNR's and after doing 2 and still suffering from some form of stomach bug I decided I would leave the rest till after I get home.
So Tuesday 16th we set off...Hobart-Melb-Perth-Bali...mmm a certain someone who I will refer to as R really likes to go the long way around but his reasoning is that he got great fares doing that way.
Hobart to Melb flight delayed by over an hour and we were worried that we wouldnt get our connecting flight to Perth we got off our flight and straight on to the next one which was already boarding and only 2 gates away...phew. Good flight to Perth (Virgin) provided with a meal which was ok and considering we hadnt had a chance to eat. Had about 5 hours to kill in Perth and I considered hiring a car and taking a drive but as I somehow misplaced my drivers license that would have been a no-go. Had a meal and way too many ciggies and a couple of very average coffees and R bought some duty free whisky 1 to take and 2 to pick up on the way back. Loaded with some snack food and a good book we were off. Arrive 1.05 am not real delays probably about 20 min from voa to the baggage..
We booked at the BaliRa Airport Hotel for the night as we felt it was unreasonable to expect the villa owners to come out at that hour. Pick up was fairly smooth expect the poor young driver who was on his first drive to the airport couldnt find his way out. We all had a good laugh though. Arrived, they had a nice pot of coffee on in the reception area, yes please ( I can drink coffee at anytime of day)! Asleep by 2.15 am.
