Bali Miscellaneous

At the end of any trip, I'm always ready to go home. 

I look forward to boarding my flight and heading in the general direction of "home," wherever it may be at that time.

I miss Bali though. 

I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of that vacation.

I haven't felt that relaxed (yeah, maybe it was the four spa treatments) in a long time.

My kids and husband had a great time and the food was amazing (very important).

The people were some of the warmest I've ever met and the country was beautiful.

I still was glad to be on my way home but Indonesia has won me over and if anyone were to ask me I would tell them to go. Go. GO.

Bali Bird Park, Komodo Dragons and the Water Temple

Chad really wanted to see a Komodo Dragon while in Bali. I blame the tourism video they showed on the airplane. Damn you. I had to hear random facts about these creatures for 10 days. He also asked just about any person willing to converse if they've visited Komodo Island (everyone said no except our tour guide). Since we were in no way taking the ferry, then hiking and camping on some isolated island to be eaten by a ferocious reptile, Chad settled on seeing one in the Bali Bird Park.

It excited Rhett seeing all the birds of Indonesia and Chad saw his dang Komodo Dragon so all was well with the world. 

Then our tour guide took us to a restaurant overlooking the rice terraces and they had Indonesia's version of rice pudding (made with coconut milk) so I was happy. 

The Water Temple was a sight to see as well.

It was a good day in Bali.

Blessed are the curious for they shall have adventure
