Well folks... this was our LAST full day in Bali and on vacation. I'm sad to leave, but looking forward to coming home.
Hard to believe we are nearing the end of our adventure.
We spent most of the morning spending the last bits of our Rupiah's and spent the remainder of the day on the beach.
Tonight we went back to Ku De Ta to enjoy the sunset and a very posh last night dinner. We felt like celebrities as we were waited on hand and foot. I enjoyed the seafood platter (maybe not a wise choice before we spend the next 24 hrs on a plane)... bib and all.
Tomorrow (Thursday) we leave at 3pm. We head to Hong Kong where we overnight it and then to Vancouver and home. We arrive on friday around 430 ish.
We thought we would end one of our last journals with our TOP TEN...

5. Seeing Viles in Hanoi full of dead snakes and frog.. this is considered a type of alcoholic beverage - mama mia!
