.Not a JBR just thought I would give a quick update so far. Arrived Thu the 5th via Jetstar' Great flight left on time arrived early another plane had arrived at the same time so was expecting the worse. We had planned that our wives kids and g.kids go straight to customs and men would get VOA worked a treat. Just as we approached the customs area another booth opened and we were straight out would have to be the quickest we have ever been through. luggage was already off belt grabbed it walked right on by the guys checking the duty free said G"Day in a taxi and at Rama Garden before 2pm. Lost count the times we have been to Bali so we basically go to the ussuall places Yutz.La Monde.Indo Nat.Lanai.Billy"s Bar Gateway Of India In Semilyak (great Indian) all have been as good as ever I think the only downside is they are all that busy the waiting time for your meal maybe an issue so I would sugest if you have hungry g.kids you might feed them early. A first for us this time was Ours in Garlic Lane we were all very impressed. Had a couple of free breakfasts at the Padma hotel thats where our rich freind are staying would have to be one of the best any where, absolutely superb' Only real dissapointment so far has been Sheppys everyones meal was below standard and the owner who used to always walk round and say G:Day just sits at the bar with his mates and gets p@ssed ah well theres only about 20 of us who go about 3 or 4 times a year so he wont miss us. Re breakfasts the kids have tried a few and they reckon its hard to go past Indo or Wayan and freinds' Now I have been to Bali between 20/30 times and never been closed to being sick but this time Going out for tea on Thu nite was not feeling the best bit thought I would soldier on and hang in there bad mistake got home about 10pm feeling very average.Then up all night throwing up and and sh@tting all night. By morning I was a physical wreck Doctor was called and there within 15 mins by this time I was sweatin like a pig and becoming a little concerned what made it worse was my kids and g.kids all kept coming and telling me how bad I looked Anyway 1.9 Millon later (money well spent) an injection up the backside and a bundle of tablets he left saying try taking tablets with tea and the tabs for the pain and fever with food he say apple would be good so 3 hours later I take tablets with tea and apple app 45 seconds later I am in sitting on toilet bowl dispossing of every thing I have consumed After another 3 hours I try again but the outcome was the exact same. I had worked out these tabs were worth about $5 each and all i was doing was flushing down the carsy and by this time I am in a fair bit of pain' Thinking I might have to call Doc again next morning I make a concerted effort to try and keep the tabs in so they can do some good. Evetually I manage to keep tablets down. It is now Sunday morning and this the 1st day I have left room since Thursday I have ate nothing but an apple since then only just starting to feel human now will try and eat something now also not had a beer since then. So all them Yakults red cordials have done me no bleeding good One big tip guys if you get the dreaded BB do not stand up to have a wee or fart you will run out of fresh daks very quickly sorry did not mean to drag on that much.
