Day 22 (27/01/2011) Bali

What a traumatic start into the day, one I will never forget. We ordered a cab to bring us to the airport. Very tired ourselves we checked out and started our way.
On the way we saw that the driver did make some very weird movements but didn’t think anything about it. His driving style wasn’t that unusual, as they do drive as they want in Indonesia anyway. After a while the car started to drive towards the highway wall, first thinking that the driver wanted to change the lanes, but he didn’t seem to stop and the wall came closer and closer. Realizing what just happened I started to scream. The driver actually fell asleep….. Just a centimetre further and we would have crushed. Luckily the driver woke up from my screaming and turned around the wheel not a second too late. That was not a very good start into a day. I started to shout at the driver and was scared to death….that was UNBELIEVABLE.
We arrived at Bali and calmed down and were happy to see the sun and not so busy city ahead of us.
As soon as we arrived at the hotel in Sanur (a very cute cottage) we explored the city and made plans for the following days. After that the beach called our name, so we sat down for a few hours and relaxed, enjoyed the smell, sand and sound.

Unfortunately a little bit later it started to rain, so we went to our rooms and got ready for a night out in Sanur. We found a cute little restaurant directly at the beach and listened to a band playing reggae. The cocktail did it rest for a nearly perfect evening. Welcome to Bali :)
