We are checked out at 10 and I freak out when I see the driver, who cheerfully says: 'Hi, remember me?' I will never forget him! Marie-Claude, my friend from Lorraine told me that her husband DID drive around in Bali. Well, chapeau Michael: I would not have the guts!
We do not drive down the west coast line as I expected but go a long way back, to take the road which goes from north to west, in the middle of the country. The driver is as crazy as last time but I guess I got more used to it. Hubby gives me a beer at 11 (he knows me very well) and that helps too!
We could have stopped at 20 places to make pictures: nice rice terraces, little villages, interesting people
Our route
. Every village has its specialty: there is the car village, the door village, the fuel village, the temple village, ... . in the temple village they do not sell the big temples but the ones to put in your garden. Every house, no matter how small and modest has its own 'temple': sometimes no more than a little shrine: a coach on a stick. Our driver does not find the hotel in Kuta immediately. We arrive after 14h. we are happy with the hotel and the room. We go for late lunch and I start on internet, for maaaaany hours, while hubby explores the city. Or better: re-explores. He was here already 20 years ago. I have lots of catching up to do at 8 Euro/5 hours for the wireless. And the hours go fast.
Hubby found a cozy little local resto, 5 minutes walk from our hotel, where we have dinner.
No plans made for tomorrow: I wanted to come here to lay on the swimming pool or beach and catch up with my stories and many mails in my inbox. And of course: chat to my brother and The Girls.
