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.
