We have to get up early to get the transport back to the boat. The time has flown in and now it is time to get back to the craziness that is Bali and Kuta. We check out and the little truck is waiting for us. Along the narrow bumpy road and back to the boat, this time I am wearing my sandals so I don't have to mess around getting changed. Different speed boat to the last time, but we still get the seats at the back. I don't think that anyone else wants them as we are not first on the boat, but everyone runs inside, probably afraid of getting a tan, you know what they are like.This speedboat has 5 engines on the back instead of 3 and so the trip is a little shorter. Off the boat and the company drops us back to the hotel in Kuta, all a fairly slick operation.

We are back in the hotel for about 10 and so I decide that we should use the breakfast that I would get tomorrow and have it now. I will stay one more night and relax in my own room before finding a cheaper dorm for tomorrow. We head out after breakfast to take a look around at the markets. Miao wants to buy a curtain for a front door for her mother. We look around for a bit but there is nothing in the style or quality that she is looking for, so she decides that she will just pick it up in the airport. We head back to the Bamboo Corner for some lunch, that is the place with the good food but not so good service. I get another good meal and Miao is just about satisfied with hers. Then it is back to the hotel and time to head to the airport. I jump in the taxi as well so that we can get a coffee when we get to the airport, especially with it being so close to the hotel. When we get to the airport we wander through what I think is the duty free area, not that there is much selection here, or really anything that you would think to be at an airport, just lots of places to eat and drink. We grab a cup of coffee and then it is time for Miao to go. I wave goodbye as she heads through security. Now it is time for me to get back. So I know the price that it cost me to get here, and I'm not paying any more on the return leg. It takes a good bit of haggling to get anywhere near my price, but I can see a lot of guys and I know it is only a matter of time before I get one who will take me for this price. True enough not long passes and I have a guy who is prepared to take me. On the back of Moto, my, I haven't had the transport in this way since Cambodia, and that seems like a long time ago. The guy is driving very slowly and cautiously, which I don't expect but it is vey pleasant.

Back at the hotel and I relax for the rest of the afternoon, just watching some movies and trying to decide where I am going to stay tomorrow. I must say I am a little nervous about picking a new place after the couple of bad experiences that I have had lately and I end up not coming to a decision for the rest of the night. My hotel has a generous check out time of 2pm and so I decide that I will just look again in the morning. I even treat myself with some room service, something that I have never done in my life, but it is the same price as if I was to order it downstairs in the bar, so I go for it. More movies and then bed.
