Bali is the best!

After a week on the island of java we flew into Bali on Friday. The hard rain made me ever so scared of flying but once weedy the ground it was as if the Hindu gods of Bali were already taking over. Our one hour flight, complete with a meal and guava juice ended too quickly. We were, after all, watching movies on our individual tv screens. We landed in Bali and everything was different-- no more pollution, noise or the endless traffic. We found out in the morning that indeed there is traffic but we started our adventure here on the southeast side of southern Bali avoiding the most tourists areas. We found pretty much the perfect hotel just five minutes from the empty sandy white beaches. We ate rice and noodles on the beach last night. We are now all over our stomach illnesses and are feeling great! We are off tomorrow to the smaller island of Nusa l Langadon -- a one hour boat ride away. Truly amazing!
