After a month. How does it keep getting better? Really good to see lots of tourists about. There seemed to be plenty of Aussies in Kuta and Legian, plenty of Dutch and Germans in Sanur heaps of French and Italians in Legian and squillions of Japanese everywhere (well not everywhere I suppose there were none in out hotel room nor in the beach toilets) also heaps of domestic tourists.
Kumala Pantai, Secret Garden and Grand Kumala were all full when we stayed there. Taman Agung in Sanur was quite full but doing a bit of building so that may have put some people off.
More about mid-life crisis (bit late) and buying a vespa when I can get my head together. It was good to catch up with all our friends but I was disappointed that I couldn't find Martha or Ivor or any of their friends then I remembered they are not actually real.....
I called in at Masa Inn and all the bars in Poppies 1 to warn them about the coming invasion of the Grey Army spearheaded by Mr. Hools ably assisted by Mrs Hools. They are making ready.
Now this sounds like a joke but we were told on our last day "by a very reliable source" ie. one of the Anak Pantai that there is a bit of a problem with Bintang supply. He believes supplies are being deliberately held back to enable a price rise from the factory or distributor or whatever. Would I lie to you? Well yes, I would but actually I'm not at this point.
