Home Thoughts

We will return though possibly it will be  just the two of us.  We were talking to a friend yesterday when we went to collect our mail. Lots of fond memories of the trip.
Bali certainly gets under your skin.
I've no real idea why as neither of us like hot or humid weather.
It's certainly not the shopping as I hate bargaining and so does hubby and we aren't big shoppers. As hubby said to our friend, "You leave the air-conditioned room and for the first 10 mins it feels a bit warm but you are fine. By the 2nd ten minutes you are starting to think it's a bit too warm and the your brain starts to fry and if  you try to bargain with someone, you can't think straight. You can't make rational decisions."
You are at a total disadvantage. Of course they have been bargaining since they started to speak and we arrive and expect to do well after a few days. It certainly has to be said that you have to take with good humour whatever bargain you finally strike.

But we do love that in 3 1/2 hours from the airport in our homeland we can be in a totally different environment. A completely different culture. Now that we have left the city it takes us 2 1/2 hours to get to the airport so it's most of a day gone traveling up, waiting at the airport and then the flight.
We only went for 7-8 days but coming home it feels like an age has past. You really feel like you've been on  holidays.
Would I go for longer? Most definitely, Yes! But I'd want to get away from Sanur. Up into the  mountains perhaps.
Would I go for a shorter time? Yes but nothing less than 3 days.
Walking, eating, relaxing. Total escape.  Loved the complete change from our normal life.
