Our morning was spent in preparation for our afternoon flight to Bali - we spent some time on the internet and stocked up on food supplies for the flight (as you don't get food on Air Asia unless you pay for it).
Once at the airport we settled in for an extended wait, as our plane was delayed - the first time in 2 years and the only time we had people waiting for us at the other end!!! The flight went really quickly, we even got to see the sun set from the sky, and soon we were whizzing through customs and into the arms of Mumbles and Pops!
It was wonderful to see Made and Putu - the father and daughter of the Balinese family the Porters met years ago in Bali. We grabbed some wheels and headed to the hotel that Mumbles and Pops booked for us - not only did this mean we didn't have to search for a room, but also that we got a beautiful place with a pool - nothing we could have afforded ourselves! And we were confident we wouldn't walk away with bedbugs here!!
The evening was spent in fast forwarded chatter as the family caught up on a year gone by - the last time we saw Mumbles and Pops was on their visit to China a year ago. Even though we chat regularly on the internet, nothing compares to face-to-face conversation and laughter, as the evening was just amazing.
Before heading out for a meal, the night got even better by Carly's arrival - 2 out of 3 sisters isn't bad!!
Even though it was midnight by the time we got home, we couldn't resist testing the waters of our first ever pool on our 2 year travels! Unfortunately it was freezing, so it was off to bed to sleep in a real bed, and await another day of family fun.
Adlibing it to the Porters.
