Thursday
The 6 Aussies headed home today, with Paul and Jenny off early, me after lunch and the last 3 Victorians late at night. The 2 Germans were staying on til next week and headed for different hotels for the rest of their stay.
I got the shuttle to town to try and get a replacement watch battery again. A stall in the market had them but the guy was unable to get the back off to swap it over. Amazingly it started working again around lunch time and after setting it to the correct time, it seemed to keep it before stopping finally about 12-30am.
I was collected by the shuttle about 1 and there was a young Dutch couple from the otehr Villas heading for Kuta beach already in side. Once we dropped them off, it was a short ride to the airport and I was there a good 2 hours ahead of my flight time. I had kept the 150,000 needed to pay the departure tax (lucky we looked that up) but had so lttle left that I couldn't even afford a kids plate of chips.
I read my book in one of the seats near gate 1 since my flight hadn't been assigned a flight at that time. Eventually the gate was displayed and of course it was at the other end of the terminal. The flight itself was late again due to a late arrival. Eventually we got aboard and headed home.
I had ordered a meal and it was perhaps the hottest (temperature not spice) of the entire holiday. I had picked roast chicken when I booked on the basis I'd probably be sick of Asian food by the end of it.
I then read my book and fell asleep. Woke up, read a bit more until we eventually arrived in Perth. It wasn't too bad a flight since I did get quite a bit of sleep. I picked up a bottle of Drambuie in the duty free and was home by 8.
I now have 10 days before I head of for the longer trip to Europe and the US.

North and back again
Wednesday
Yesterday we were looking at different bus tours. Initially is was Paul and Jenny and myself. These were about $45 each but we noticed that many of the tour brochures also listed car and driver hire. 10 hours was about $45 to 50 so we decide to opt for that. We ordered a 7 seater and Christine joined us as well.
We more or less followed one of the day tours starting at the Buddhist temple of Taman Ayun. This is more or less still in the Denpasar suburbs and the start of the trip was through narrow and busy streets. The temple itself is surrounded by water and gardens and is quote serene. We could not enter the inner area but could photograph it from the surrounding pathways.
From there we had a short hop to a coffee plantation before heading North to the mountains. About noon we stopped to eat at a restaurant on one side of a steep valley. It had great views of the other side which was terraced with rice paddies. The meal itself was a buffet and was OK although the food wasn't very hot when we were eating.
We continued on through the mountains passing the twin lakes where we stopped for a photo op.
Eventually we arrived at the hot springs, which are almost on the coast. We all had a swim before heading back to the car and eventually arriving in Lovina a beach side town. We didn't actually stop there but started south again to the Gigit Falls. However when we got there we were told i was a 30 minute walk each way, so decided to give it a miss.
I was in the back row by then and had a nap during the trip back south.
Sometime that morning my watch had stopped and was showing 10 to 11. It became a bit of a running joke during the day and evening for me to ask what time it was and then say - No I have 10 to 11. I tried to find a place near the hotel, once we got back, where I could get a new battery without success.
We had our biggest group for dinner that night with all 8 of us still at the villa attending for the last night together. We went to Warung Made's a large multi ethnic restaurant. I had the beef rendang but there were Thai, Italian, western and Chinese options as well.
Once back at the Villas a number of us had a swim in the pool.

Much ado about nothing
Tuesday
Today was mostly a rest day. We got up late, had breakfast and then spent time on our respective PCs, iPads etc. The villas have free WiFi which is available in each unit and the central area. Of course it was a challenge to get everyone plugged into the one power point near the dining table.
Sometime I had my free 15 minutes of massage, - back and neck - had a swim and read my book but otherwise did very little till it was time for dinner. We did organise a car and driver for Wednesday as well.
4 of us headed to Seminyak Square again about 7-30 and this time ate at a Japanese restaurant called Kinsa, a bit further down the street past Mykonos. We were again joined by Eszter who is staying on her own in Kuta,I again shared with Paul, this time having the set menu, which was much better value than the seafood platter we shared during the conference.
We didn't stay late and got to bed relatively early.

Indonesian dreaming
Monday
I managed to sleep in till 9-30 and then got up for a late breakfast. It was the first time to wear my new shoes. Before breakfast was over, first the back strap broke and then the other strap broke as well. It was the right shoe, so I now had 3 left shoes with no match.
After trying to organise a hotel shuttle booking time to move hotels, we gave up and ordered a minibus instead. This arrived more or less on time but was not big enough for 8 and luggage, so we waited for another 20 minutes for a second one to arrive. The two took all our luggage and an extra 2 people as well. Traffic was horrible as usual, but eventually we arrived at the Bali Dream Villas, only to find out that we were at their second property which is where the multiple bedroom units were located. We all got back onto another minibus for a 5 minute ride.
There were 6 of us sharing a 3 BR unit plus 2 singles. The singles got upgraded to 2 BR since all the actual 1 BR villas were at the first location. One of the 6 sharing the bigger one decided he'd just get his own and then one of the others decided to use the second BR there so there are now only 4 of us here. There are 2 Germans who I met last year and went to the post conference retreat with and the rest of us are Ausies.
Each room has its own huge en suite with bath and separate shower. There are 2 upstairs and 1 downstairs. Also downstairs is an open kitchen, dining and living area and a private pool.
It is certainly a lovely aspect and quite relaxing. The others walked the the shops while I checked emails which then required some work action.
Everybody came back for some drinks and we organised a shuttle to the nearby eating area in Seminyak. In the end 6 of us went and we were later joined by another girl from the AMG who was staying elsewhere. On the recommendation of a fellow passenger on the shuttle we ate at a Greek restaurant called Mykonos which was quite good and not overly expensive.
After the meal we walked to the beach which was 5 -10 minutes away. Some decided to go back to the pick up point in time for the shuttle but 4 of us stayed and grabbed a lounge chair by the beach and all had a cocktail. We later caught a taxi and we were back by 11pm.

Sunday
Today's activities were a tour of the island, followed by dinner. Originally scheduled for 9am, the departure was changed to 8 and not everyone got the message and some people missed the bus.
We headed first to Tanah Lot which is a temple on a rocky outcrop on the sea. We walked through a typical Asian market area between the bus parking area and the temple itself. We first went to the opposite cliffs for a photo op of the temple and also a natural bridge on the other side.
I then walked down to the beach it self and across to the temple. On the way back I bought some sandals for the above amount about $2.50. I needed them because I cleverly put in a pair of thongs that were both for the left foot. (no comments on my dancing please)
From there we headed to Ubud where we had lunch at a restaurant that specialises in suckling pigs. We had to go upstairs because of numbers and the tables there were 1 foot high so it was sitting crossed egged, which does me no favours these days with my knees.
Half of the group were at another restaurant, so when we finished we wandered down to an art gallery and museum for a look around.
We headed back south after that to Krishna. I thought this was going to be a temple but it was in fact a tourist/souvenir shop. I bought a cheap bracelet and a bag of nuts.
Next we went to the monkey temple at Uluwatu which is also on the edge of a cliff. There were dozens if not hundreds of monkeys there and we were warned about them taking stuff from bags etc. By the time we finished there it was 5-30 so it had been a long day.
We had thought we would be going back to the hotel but went directly to the restaurant for dinner. One of the other Aussies who missed the bus was also expecting to catch up then so I called to let him know and he took a taxi to join us.
Dinner was at Klapa, a high end resort with a golf course attached, overlooking the sea. We ate at a long table by the pool with a nice sea breeze cooling us down.
There was WiFi on the bus, some of the time, so we were able to catch up on facebook and emails during the long periods of travel between stops. It seems there was a problem with my Credit card for our booking but I managed to call the villas once we got to Klapa and sorted it out.
As we were leaving we decide we needed to invent a new traditional to match the Helsinki party held at the end of the International Board meetings. The bus stopped at a mini mart so we could buy drinks and nibbles and we finished up having a party in Christine's room. There were multiple farewell parties on other rooms and round the pool as well. There was some singing in various languages and both drinking games and werewolves were played. It was close to 4am when it finally wound down.
I then walked down to the beach it self and across to the temple. On the way back I bought some sandals for the above amount about $2.50. I needed them because I cleverly put in a pair of thongs that were both for the left foot. (no comments on my dancing please)

Global Brains for the Poor
Only last week I was watching a UK talk show with Andrew Lloyd Weber and some stars from the new Superstar show.They performed the song with the lines "Surely you're not saying we have the resources to save the poor from their lot".
I was a bit sceptical about the theme for Saturday which was "Global brains for the poor" The idea was that 100 Mensa members from about 20 different countries would try to create a road map to help the poor lift themselves out of poverty. It was a lot better than I expected.The first speaker was the government special envoy for the alleviation of poverty who set the scene. About 17% of Indonesians are in extreme poverty. However if you raise the bar and include those who live on less than $2 a day the number goes to nearly 49%. 20 million can't meet daily needs and 70% of these are in rural areas.
the next speaker talked about health problems, biological effects of malnutrition and disease.
the third speaker was an educator who developed a method for training children for the physics and maths Olympics with great success. He also took poor students from Papua and trained them and proved that any child could perform well given opportunity, good teachers, methods and enough time.
The last speaker was from Singapore and talked on the brain drain issue.
It turned out to be a very interesting morning.
After lunch we broke into 3 work groups and discussed the 3 issues and the results will be summarised and published. There was a press conference at the end and some doves were released to symbolise peace.
During lunch, I managed to organise a group of us who are staying on. Trying to fit in the one who had to share because of cost with one who would only share with someone he knew, 4 girls, 2 guys and a couple was the proverbial herding cats exercise. In the end we found a 3 bedroom villa for the 6 singles and the couple on their own. all these villas have their own private pool so it should be a great holiday.
In the evening, we had buses organised to take us to the Bali collection, a tourist area with lots of restaurants and shops. Unfortunately the second bus left straight after the first despite `the fact that it was only 1/4 full and there were 20 of us still waiting. eventually we got there 45 minutes later than planned and ate in a seafood restaurant. I shared the most expensive Seafood platter for 2 which was a bit disappointing. it averaged out at about $25 each or a tad over 3 million for12 of us. w
We thought we had enough to cover this with a decent tip, till they rejected a 100,000 note as being out of date. We made up the amount but the tip disappeared. back at the hotel, quite a few of us headed for the roof pool for some drinks, swimming and general partying. the Koreans got into a drinking game . i left about 1-30.

The hugfest begins
Friday
We flew from Perth to Bali yesterday. I was travelling with friends for a change, rather than by myself and we met up in the check in line. It was surprisingly quiet with only a couple of people ahead of me wen I went through passport control, then security. Being so quiet I got tested for explosives and then frisked as well.
The plane was late in and hence we were delayed in taking off but about 45 minutes. It was on AirAsia and my choice of meal made a few months ago turned out to be OK. No entertainment but I had loaded some videos to my iPad so I watched those. The driver arranged by the hotel was waiting for us and after changing money and organising a Sim card we were out of the airport building and heading for the car park. He left as by the road and went to get the car which took quite while and then we were off and into some terrible traffic. It was about 7 when we got to the hotel. According to Google it was about 15minutes drive - they lied.
One of the first people I saw was a young Korean guy I'd met last year and I was greeted with a big hug. This was repeated throughout the evening and today as I caught up with others I'd met last year.
A large group had gone to dinner but we were too late to join them and instead went to the roof top bar and resturant. There were 2 other Mensa ladies just finishing dinner so I went to reception and passed the word. The hotel staff later put up a sign directing people there. there were 8 or 10 of us eating there and people trickled in as their flights arrived and then later the group returned from dinner and joined us as well. It was midnight when I left for bed.
I slept very soundly till just before 7 so was down to breakfast in good time. Again lots of people to catch up with and then over to the registration and booking of trips and buying the polo shirt. After the welcome and introductions we separated into 3 streams. The main hall had 2 game sessions, one put on by Singapore and the other by Japan. I spent the day at the LEAP talks.
This program selects 5 people from the applicants (27 this year) and they present their topics in the US and this year in Asia. We quite often have speakers on topics of general interest but these were Mensa focused and not only well presented and entertaining but relevant as well. The topics were - dispute resolution, social media, tools for building the organisation and Team dynamics.
The last speaker discussed a reward system used for volunteers. After describing how points were allocated and rewards issued, she finished by saying there was so much argument over allocation of points the scheme was abandoned as a failure. A bit of a surprise ending.
I then joined a group sharing a taxi. they were after an ATM and I wanted to get some mixer for my whisky. The round trip was only $4.
The gala dinner was tonight, rather than the more usual Saturday and was also on the roof. Again it was great to socialise and there were innumerable photo ops. At one stage we had a fashion show of local based clothing, some traditional dancing and later the Koreans demonstrating Gangnam style, but mostly it was a night of conversation with a great mix of cultures.
There are 20 countries represented here this year and about a dozen Aussies. As the night wound down we went to our rooms and then back up for a swim in the roof top pool.
Its now 12-30 and it doesn't look like adding pics is a simple procedure from the iPad.

The penny drops... and the dollars
I have been trying to organise myself for this trip, getting quotes for golf, trying to sort out itineraries with different airlines as well as confirming work times and details.
In the end the work timetable has been confirmed, meaning I do have 4 days available for golf between Dubrovnik and Houston.
My original plan was 4 days at the Doral resort in Miami. However, it turns out that the high season starts about 8 days before I get there. On their website a single room plus golf goes from $169 to over $300 per day on the 8th Oct. Most other Miami and indeed Florida special packages were only available till 30th Sept. However my friends at Golf Zoo came up with an acceptable package in Orlando, staying at a regular hotel and playing Disney, Ritz-Carlton, Walforff-Astoria and Grand Cypress.
The problem then became one of how to get there. I basically need to go Perth - Dubrovnik - Orlando - Houston - Adelaide - Perth
The 3 airfares that I would be able to claim for the 3 separate trips were almost enough to cover a Business class round the world ticket. However nothing is simple.
Flying One World makes Dubrovnik a challenge. It either requires an airport change in London with an overnight stop on the way to the US or flying via Frankfurt and going to Dubrovnik on Croatian. They are part of the Star Alliance and hence there will be extra cost. Going to Orlando requires transiting through Dallas or Chicago. Likewise flying to Houston is via Dallas. On the other hand, it is great for the flight home with the stop over in Adelaide.
Star Alliance on the other hand includes the Dubrovnik leg, has better connections to Orlando and Houston but fails on the return trip. Because they have no domestic Partner in Australia, it means a separate ticket either from Sydney to Adelaide to Perth (if flying United) or just from Adelaide (if flying Air NZ). If you try to book those internal flights on Star Alliance, you have to go via Singapore, which is basically ridiculous, slow and adds a couple of grand to the cost.
All these options would need at least an extra $500 to $1000 over the amount I can claim.
It finally dawned on me this morning that if I drop Adelaide from the RTW ticket and just take a separate cheap return ticket there, then the RTW works very well with Star Alliance. I can ditch my golf clubs, computer etc when I get home and fly out the next day with just enough luggage for the 5 days I'll be in Adelaide. The RTW cost pretty well matches the allowable cost for the Dubrivnik and Houston trips and the Adelaide one is already covered.
I expect the travel agent will also not be able to find a solution that covers all 4 stops that's any better than this without being more expensive, so by the end of the day I should have things finalised.
Then I can forget about it, and just start looking forward to Bali.
