Our last stop in South East Asia... Back to Bali

It was hard to leave Australia.

We had a really good time with my family and it was nice to see some familiar faces after being on the road for so many months.
Andrew and I had gotten accustomed to not living out of our backpacks and packing up all our things was such a task. We had somehow managed to acquire quite a number of things while in Australia... some gifts for family and some things for ourselves. Plus the 6kg statue that we had previously bought in Bali! Our backpacks were really put to the test, they were stretched and overloaded like they have never been before. Not only were we concerned about not getting everything in our bags, but we were also concerned about the weight of our bags. We really hoped that we would be under the weight restrictions for our flight.

Luckily for us... with our baggage weight combined we were OK and we had no extra charges. We did not have a direct flight from Melbourne to Australia. Unfortunately we had a four hour lay over in Darwin, which made the journey seem like forever!

We arrived in Kuta Beach, Bali later that evening... it was nice to come back to a familiar place. Of course we checked into the same hotel that we had been to twice before. It isn't the nicest place in Kuta but sometimes its good to be in familiar surroundings. The weather was hot and humid! Man, did we miss the hot weather! We took a room without air-con, but we didn't complain because we knew that we would not be experiencing hot weather for quite some time back home.

We soaked up some sun for a few hours before heading back to the airport.

Next stop.... Hong Kong!
