Friday November 2

Today is output last day, we are ready to come home . . . I am dreaming of my own bed. Twenty-eight days on the go, we are ready for a rest. We spent a couple of hours this morning in Ubud, looked at the shops, sat and had a nice coffee. I have a massage booked at the hotel for this afternoon, we all go out for our last group dinner and we go straight from there to the airport,with another couple from Toronto. Our flight departs at 12:30 am. Everyone else leaves tomorrow. We fly to Seoul and then Toronto, we gain 12 hours back so we leave Seoul at 10:30 am and arrive back in Toronto the same time. It will be a long day. Signing off from Indonesia, oh where will we go to next??????

We left Lovina today, and first stop was a Buddist monastery (Brahma Arama Vihara). It is the most important Buddist monastery in Bali, it isn't a tourist site but they accept 'respectful visitors'. It was a fairly large place, I don't think we saw it all as no monks were spotted! I bought myself a tee shirt here, at $7.50 it was a good deal. Next was a photo stop for photos of the rice terraces at Pupuan, we'd seen terraces previously but these were larger. We carried on until we reached the ocean temple at Tanah Lot, it is in an unusual site, on top of a huge rock surrounded by the sea at high tide. We had lunch and a wander around the town, there was a three-day festival happening so lots of locals around. We continued on to Ubud for our last two nights - for us it is technically only one more night as our flight is at 12:30 in the morning!
