Internet at Last!

We are at the resort in Bali, called Novus Bali Villas Resort and Spa and it is awesome. There are some pics attached. Our arrival at the airport was normal except for a little bit of confusion about whether or not we needed a visa (we did) which was $10 U.S. and of course we did not have any U.S. dollars on us and they did not take visa. We were saved by Jaime who always carries $100 U.S. with her as it is still the international currency. We will take note of this and do the same form now on. The resort van met us at the airport and drove us to the resort. Breakfast and afternoon tea are included and the service is simply phenominal. This place is highly recommended. There are free shuttles to take you to the beach or shopping centres and you can book a van and driver quite inexpensively to take you to the sight seeing activities.

Jordan and I went for a walk this morning and the we were amazed at the number of motorbikes on the road. We even saw 2 bikes with 5 humans of all ages on them. It is very common to see 3 or 4 people on them. We saw quite a few with a baby carried in the left arm and an arm wrapped around the waist in front. 250 million people in a country California than Ontario is going to put a stress on just about everything.

TTYL,

Jim
