Am making post from Bali, leave midnight tonight Air Asia to go back home.

Flew Air Asia Perth/KL then KL/Bali, great airline, very professional.

Have done the Safari Park, Baik Bike ride etc previously. Had a great driver Daniel, went sightseeing in Ubud, UC silver etc. Wanted to do the Buggy ride thing yet caught a very bad flu so have to leave till next time. Aussie dollar rate started off last week at 7700 and has dropped down to 7400.

Did the usual stops for foody places, Bubba Gumps great, noticed prices have gone up in price. Garis Garis on Kartika plaza was lovely, Il Cielo an awesome meal.

Sita fashions great for metal artwork. Matahari's has lots of sales on, promo ones on bags, shoes, sports shoes etc. A big sale starts today at the Billabong factory outlet on bypass rd, is on for the next 2 weeks. Went to a tailor to get leather jacket made and another jacket and suit for husband, excellent service.

Stayed at a great place Aston Kuta Hotel in Tuban. We were in a private one bedroom apartment, awesome, spacious. The apartment had everything even high speed internet access so I could keep in contact with my teenage daughter in Oz. Beautiful surrounds in the complex. Close to the beach and only a few minutes walk to Discovery etc. Please ask for more info if you want to know more about it as it was the best place we have stayed at thus far. Will never stay in just a motel room again. Lots of eateries and massage places, laundry places etc across the road.

Weather was great, a bit humid yet really nice and pleasant. School holidays have started here with local kids for the next month.

Had a great time, sorry to leave yet will be back.
