      Bye bye

      May 2, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

      Well this is just sad. I dont want to return to Australia. It's expensive and I have to find a job.

      Got my customary free breakfast. I got a 'jaffle' this morning. Not clue what it was but it was like a toasted sandwich but sweet. Not sure what they were going for but it was a vibe.

      I then took myself on a walk around the bay. It is much prettier in day light and full of baots. Almost everyone seemed to be out either getting the public boat, fast boat or hopping on a smaller tender to go snorkeling or diving. The main road is a little busy and touristy but the rest is a little town nestled in the hills. It is actually anlot prettier than I expected and I'd happily have walked longer but I was in search of something.

      The last few weeks of sea water, chlorine swimming pools and the showers here have left my hair feeling truly awful. So I was searching for a salon who could give me a hair treatment before I left. I found one but it wasnt on google so I was a little apprehensive but it was amazing. 1hr of scalp massage, oils and calming music. I was in heaven. She even gave me a ginger tea after. Now I dont like ginger tea, but that was great. Top tier way to spend 1.5hrs.

      On my way back I grabbed a sandwich from a highly recommended shop. Got a veggie salad for takeaway and it was banging.

      Unfortunately I then had to tackle the stairs. I like this hostel, it's small and has a chill vibe but it is at the top of a massive flight of uneven stairs. 0/10 would recommend, they are killer.

      I had my taxi to the airport booked from 3pm so I did a spot of journaling while I waited. My driver was one of the workers at the hostel and kudos to him. Our journey took 2hrs, and he now has to do it back again so I made sure to tip him.i was fully falling asleep and that traffic around Denpassar was vile.

      At the airport, I was early as per usual. But in my defence, the traffic still took longer than I had expected. I decided to treat myself to some food and it was exactly what I needed. Who would have guessed one of the best poached eggs I've ever had, would have been in Bali airport.

      Finally, I made my way through security and said goodbye to Indonesia.
