Adios Amigos

Linus and Jessica

It wasn’t until after I cleared security at the airport on February 18th that I realized my flight was the following night. I gave myself a good swift kick in the behind for writing the departure date down wrong in my notebook, and then caught a taxi back to Ronta Bungalows in Kuta to find my crew and have a well-deserved beer (and laugh).

Linus chats with Laura who is buying her favorite instant noodles

As it turned out, in the meantime, Laura and Jessica had booked the same flight to Singapore as I would be on the next evening. We ate and amused ourselves until we’d all leave Bali. Linus was heading back to Komodo for a second attempt to see the dragons in their natural habitat.

Ordering coffee at the airport

I said goodbye to Linus for the 4th and final time, as did the girls, and we shared a taxi to the airport. We wandered a bit, drank some coffee, and boarded our 10:15pm flight to Singapore.

Au revoir Indonesia

Can’t wait to hear your adventures in Singapore. I’ve actually been there… about 12 years ago. I went to visit my sister after my niece Holly was born there… middle name Kayne… as a play on the American that got cained there for misbehaving! Just DON’T litter or chew gum and you’ll be fine!! :razz: I hope you can find the less expensive areas there because I certainly don’t remember any!! Everything was super expensive… except tattoos! I got my second one there for only $8 U.S.

It was good – basic but good. Nice social vibe to the place. $5 USD a night, and you’re a block or two from the big clubs and bar scene. I would highly recommend it. Shower was a bit funky and I saw a big roach or two at night in there, but such is life.

I’ve got photos under my Indonesia Flickr photobook – http://www.flickr.com/photos/gobackpacking — towards the end of the photos since it was the last place I stayed.
