Hello everyone ... sorry it's been a while !
Just too much relaxing t be done here in Bali - thought i would come and have a cool down in the internet room!!!
BALI is fab, the people cannot do enough for you, the food is great and the local rose wine even better!
We cannot believe our trip is almost over .... very upsetting i am sure you will agree!! Really looking forward to seeing everyone when we get back and looking forward to Xmas (it's not very Xmassy here yet so will be a shock when we get home)!
probably wont get to put anymore photo's on the site now - none of the computers seem to like it so we haven't bothered for a while!!
very hot here in Bali even though it is the rainy season!! apparently!!
we have managed to top up the tans whilst here as we were far too busy in Oz doing other things!
had a great time in the motorhome did over 2000 km's !!!
thanks for keeping in touch with us while we have been away it has been nice to hear from you all.
we have got a free BBQ meal tonight compliments of the hotel (best hotel ever)!!
we have booked some treatments for MOnday (our last full day) massage and slimming wraps - well needed after all the good food and wine!!!
this may be the last message we leave you now next time it will be in person !!!!!
Until the next time!!
Bye bye
lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
