THE STORY

We arrived in Bali from Sumba flying with Wings Air - a good flight but leg room was poor. We picked up our bags and met Nyoman at the domestic airport exit. We drove to the Grand Kumala Hotel taking a scenic route through narrow streets and pass ‘rivers’ due to traffic flow changes.

We were very hungry so we popped the bags in the room and headed out to eat – pizza and Greek salad. We were feeling better after eating so we walked towards the main road and I had a haircut and Jacinta had a hair treatment.

I was still sick with the virus during our stay with the addition of diarrhea and Jacinta had picked up the virus as well.  

At night, we had a few dinners with live music playing and during the day we sat around the hotel pool and wandered down to the beach for sunset.

One night, we walked towards Padma and turned off just after the Jayakarta. We stopped to have dinner at a restaurant. It was very quiet then bam! Out came four guys dressed as clowns who started dancing to loud music. It was sort of entertaining but it had a limit. Eventually, they finished and we ate our meal and departed before their next bracket.

On another night, we ate a good meal and listened to a pleasant sounding duet. We met a pleasant guy there named Mark. He was from Dubbo and was a carpenter who worked in an office. Strange combo that he says worked well.

One of the days, we caught a taxi to Nusa Dua. Jacinta had a filling come out and so to the BIMC dental clinic we went. The place was ultra modern, clean, well organised and friendly. Jacinta had her gigi (tooth) fixed and back we drove to Legian.
