Baliend.

Didn't really do much on our final day in Bali, upon packing and checking out - which costs about 3 million, of rupiahs hehe, it was already late afternoon. You know the feeling of just being too lazy to do anything which usually happens on the final day of trip, that's exactly how we felt at that moment, or perhaps it was just me.

Had our lunch before heading out for one last quick stroll around - or was it the other way round - then made our way to the airport, which was much, much closer than expected like, just a turn around the corner - hence, stranded there for much longer than expected.


It wasn't that bad initially as we were planning to shop around those duty free outlets since we had some rupiahs left. That was until we realized at the very last moment when passing through the customs that there was still an airport tax to pay. Which we had totally no idea of and it was 150,000 rupiahs per person, the total amount was about all that we have left in our pockets.

Much walking, ding-ding dong-dong and a cup of melting Baskin & Robbins ice-cream later, we found out that our flight would be delayed. Very much delayed - up to the point that I managed to witness another sunset before boarding the plane, sigh. Pictures ahead.


Bright and shiny yet again on the day that we're leaving, why must it only rain or drizzle all the time on the very day that we're planning to explore the island? Why? Why?


Site of the 2002 Bali bombing in Kuta that killed 202 and injured 209. The circular structure on the paved road is where the bigger bomb, hidden inside a van, was detonated

The biggest stack of offerings I've came across in Bali. According to our guide, its normally offered once in the morning, hoping for good and brisk business and another in the evening, thanking for the opportunities in business. Repeat cycle everyday.

Last but not least, picture of Jacklyn posing for a photograph unwillingly


I guess this is it, finally, end of posts on our trip to Bali which took months to start and months to end because I am like that. Actually there is still something on the food as well as our accomodation, the cultural shows but I'm too lazy to do that now, perhaps it will appear in the near future as a random post. For my own reference or yours as well, I have included the links to all related posts below. Sekian Terima Kasih.
