Bye Bye Bali

Well we have made it to May 6th and are in our hotel room at Le Meridien resort packing our bags before heading to the airport. We are both a little sad to be leaving Bali - it really has been incredible here. Between the wonderful people, beautiful scenery (both above and below water), and great food, it will be hard not to miss it. Our flight leaves Denpasar today at 2:30 pm and we soar away to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.

Le Meridien has been an ok hotel, definately a big change from the small little boutique hotels we have been staying at, more of a western style monolith. The best part by far about staying here was the absolutely incredible golf course nestled between the coastal surf and the rice paddies. We golfed the last two mornings at sunrise and enjoyed ourselves both days, although the scores on the first day were much better than they were yesterday.

After our round on Monday we went into Kuta, the big resort town of the south, for some shopping. In addition to the necessary shopping list of golf shirts, bikini bottoms, and a watch, we also found a DVD store where we bought 24 DVDs for $20. Thats right - $1 each and 2 free when you buy 10! The quality is perfect, but I think it is safe to say that they are not original DVDs. However, we did finally get to see Slumdog Millionaire which was a really great movie.

Anyways, Tim is busy packing while I am sitting here typing, so should probably start helping. Here are a few more pictures from the Pemuteran dives.
