Bali

Favorite memory from trip!  Koh Somui

We got up at 4am this morning in Singapore and caught our flight to Hong Kong.  We then caught a flight from Hong Kong to Chicago.  Seventeen hours in the air so far today and one more leg to catch from Chicago to Boston.  We will have taken 10 flights in 13 days after our last leg to Boston.  We are tired and amazed how each country handles the visas, custom checks, and baggage checks differently.  We are lucky we caught every flight without any lost luggage or lost passports.
Bali was by far the most congested place we visited with very crazy traffic.  The people that we encountered in Bali were very nice.

Monkeys on the way to the airport, in Bali.   Shopping area closer to airport.

New discovery, Bintang Pilsner out of Indonesia was surprisingly good.

Bali 2nd day

Bali on July 4th

Monduk Moding Plantation, Bali

I haven't written much about our trip as we have been constantly on the move with poor internet service.  When I do get a connection, sometimes in an airport I am quickly dumping some pictures to the blog site.  We are currently staying on a coffee plantation in Bali.  We arrived at the wildest airport I have ever seen in my sheltered life.  The airport is very overcrowded and people begging for money and drivers begging to get your business.  The ride to the plantation was a little stressful as the kids thought we were going to die.  Many money changers trying to get and short change your money.  We felt lucky to escape that airport only to feel like we were going to crash in the van that drove us 3 hours up into the mountains to our coffee plantation.  The sites are beautiful and once again we are secluded without any other tourists.

Koh Samui, Thailand

3 hour flight from Hong Kong to Koh Samui on Bangkok Air.

Beautiful sunset, our last night.

Last day in Hong Kong

We have been on the go and without internet for 3 days.  Internet is back in Thailand on Koh Samui!  I am posting last day pictures from Hong Kong and then Monday and Tuesday in Koh Samui, Thailand.
