Marie's Travels
Hi All
I left Bali today, very sad, what an amazing place, I absolutely loved it, they are the friendliest people I have ever met, it is such a shame to see how quiet it is over there after the bombings when in all reality it is safe as anywhere else, the security is so high, you can't walk anywhere without be tested for explosives. So all of you go over there and put some money into the tourism industry to help them rebuild the economy!!! Quick book your flights now!!!
I had a great week and met some really great people, we did lots of touring of the island while also getting plenty of relaxing round the pool and on the beach in as well. We went to see some of the famous sunsets in Jimbaran Bay while sipping cocktails and eating a huge seafood dinner on the beach, played with monkeys (incidentally I was attcked by one for not giving him the banana quick enough, rather scary but I am here to tell the tale), I rode an elephant with a crazy sumatran and visited temples, volcanoes and lots and lots of silver jewellery shops! The shopping is excellent! Myself and two other english girls also hung out with a canadian tv presenter and his crew, Kevin somebody (yes not that famous then), he presents on an extreme sports channel over there, quite an experience.
I have just arrived at Singapore airport where I have a 20 hour wait for my flight into Bangkok tomorrow, a little extreme but I am too tight to shell out for a hotel for the night so will find myself a cozy little corner somewhere and have a snooze! I feel a bit like Tom Hanks in the movie The Terminal. I arrive in Bangkok tomorrow to meet up with Matt, Deb and Ben, very much looking forward to that and then the plan is to head out to Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia after a few days sorting out visas etc. So no doubt there will be lots more of these emails coming your way!
Anyway going to go and hang out with some baggage handlers, ha ha. Will email more soon, hope everyone is ok and having as much fun as me, he he, sorry! Miss you all!
Love Mariexxx
