the day we were due to leave my 16 month woke at 5:30 am i got up with him a bit cranky with 2 inner ear infections and we went for our usual walk from the legian paradiso down to melasti st along to legian beach up tp kuta then along to waterbom turned aroun and headed back to hotel along legian st went for brekky the rest of the day was a blur with last minute shopping hair braiding for the 4yr old girl saying bye to all the new freinds we met having our last bali dinner with freinds at prochetta
having lots of bintangs as well we were then picked up to go to the airport at 8 pm got there at 8 :30 and did the usual jazz
walked around while we waited to board with 2 cranky kids and me even more sore and cranky
called to board waited for 1 hour then told there was a delay 1 1/2 hours getting really mad now ears are killing
finaly got on the plane and took off thats when the fun began
thank god the kids slept becayse i went totaly deaf in my left ear and the right was not much better!
BINTANGS please and keep em coming but they didnt help
finaly fasten seatbelts at 7 am brissy time 5 am bali time
really sore now
on the deck get out of the plane quickly or i will kill some one
go to immagration not to bad wait for bags taking a fair while then some airport lady walks up and tells me i cant be in the airport with no shoes on some OHS mumbo jumbo that was it i let fly telling her what she could do with her OH&s rules and if i was worried about my feet getting cut i would have worn shoes i didnt put on any for the whole trip which seemed to amaze the balinese and the tourists alike
the good thing with my tantrum is we got through customs quickly with an APS guy just off to the left of me
got in cab got home and put kids to bed
sore as all hell now so off to docs guess what he says
you have ruptured your left ear drum why did you fly with inner ear infections????
no choice
tried to sleep no chance up 36 hours straight by then
finally got to sleep at 12 midnight brissy time
was up for work at 6 am the next day wishing i was back in bali
BUT WHAT A PLACE TO GO LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
PLANNING AND SAVING FOR THE NEXT TRIP IN JULY
THANKS TO ALL WHO GAVE ADVICE REGARDS bRUCE
