It's been a great time in Bali with lots of memories of the things we've seen and people we've met. There is lots more to see and do but it will have to be "lain kali" (another time) for that.
This morning was a quiet family holiday in Bali with the streets quiet and many fresh offerings on display. We enjoyed the chance to stroll about and take it in after packing up for our Lion flight back to Jakarta to spend more time with our Indonesian family before heading home on Thursday. Tomorrow we have a family wedding to go to there too. Tonight we also needed to root Manchester on for an important match that decides their position for the playoffs.
Our Bali/Jakarta flight was delayed slightly but we arrived to the very warm sight of Nana, Reza, and Iin all waiting to greet us. Our ride home was a happy one with lots of catching up from the last three weeks. We stopped briefly along the way at a mosque and then on to a roadside stand to pick several "ripe" durian for sampling during the game. The rain and thunder returned in full force while we bought several durian and it followed us home and appeared to linger directly overhead during dinner and the soccer match. Both dinner and the game were great and we'll take some credit for the easy time Manchester had with their hated Liverpool rivals!
Durian was a new experience too during as the smell of this large prickly fruit reminds some people of rotting garbage or onions. It was unusual to say the least but not too bad once you got past the smell.

It's been quite a day again and it's good to be back among family. Tomorrow will be more of the same with a wedding included!
