On to our furthest point - Bali

 

We have reached our 35th day of travel, which is the longest we have both been away from home before. Our sense of time and date has become blurred. We have to look at the calendar to figure out the date and which day week it is, with very little sense of the time of year, apart from the occasional Christmas decorations. They have Christmas trees, decorations and piped Christmas songs all over Singapore, which is strange when the temperature outside is close to 30 degrees. Shopping is an important past time here, so I suspect the shops are keen to create some additional motivation via some festive spending. Singapore has been fun and it is a shame to leave so soon. Living above the city skyline has been a treat and very relaxing. Eating in the Marine Bay Sands hotel was lovely, but we have been spoilt by Minas cooking back at the apartment, which is another reason not to venture out. So we spent the last morning on the roof top swimming, reading the paper and eating breakfast, while watching the world go by in Singapore. Its tough up top😎

So onto our last new destination, Bali. A two and a quarter hour flight from Singapore Changi airport to Denpaser. Its the rainy season in Bali, so we are not sure what to expect apart from its unlikley to be cold.

We have arrived in Bali. Our home for the next five days is the Marriott Terrace Resort in Nusa Dua. It only opened last month so our room looks brand new. We didn’t arrive until late, so an excuse for room service dinner in front of the TV. Netherlands v USA in the World Cup.
