| Our plane dwarfed by Singapore Airlines |
Off to Bali again, this time with Frances, and again to meet up with John and Tamar, but this time to do some touring around Bali. We left Sydney at
4:20 on Virgin Australia on what appeared to be a very small plane - only 6 seats across. The flight was about 75% full so we had 3 seats for the 2 of us. Flight took
about 6.5 hours and we had 1 meal which was just edible. Fortunately there was free wine in little 187ml
bottles which helped.

Arrival at Denpasar was pretty uneventful as the new airport is much better and more efficiently organised than the old one. The new airport is quite different and modern, a lot less chaos &
ad-hoc-ery going on. We were conned by a porter
into trolleying our luggage which required a tip, although we passed customs
quickly with his assistance. We ended up catching a taxi for 300,000 Rupiah ($30 AUS) which is a
bit high but convenient.
We arrived late in Ubud, around 11pm local time at PuriSaraswati, and went for a short walk along the main road, Jalan Ria Ubud, but everything was
closed so we just crashed.
