waiting at the hotel, she was sick so decided not to climb. When we arrived for our usual breakfast before work we had no idea anything had happened, everyone was going about their business and then one of the Bali boys said "Oh tourist die, I said when, he said just now, I said whats happening, he said, oh, his friend is here in her room, she not want to eat, you can you talk to her"
I went to see her and spent the whole day translating and making phone calls for her. It was very hard for her as the Balinese do not mean any disrespect but they treat death a lot different to Westerners and she found that very hard.
She was given so many wrong facts and a few lies, but I can't say anything on here as you never know who is watching.
Just glad we were there as she needed a hug more than anything. She spent the day over in our office, poor thing probably never felt more alone in her life.
