At last...

I'm in Bali at last.

Away from work and house and family and all the weight of the everyday. It's humid and crowded in Ubud and there's motorbikes and taxis and 'soubenirs' and monkeys and green green green everywhere.

Our hotel is so very beautiful, I can't believe it. A little oasis. Only eight rooms, and ours is all by itself. Stone carving and thatched roof and a veranda with a cushioned daybed. Outdoor bathroom with a little pond and a four poster bed. I never want to leave this place.

I'm acclimatising for Darwin, and sleeping a lot. Hard to believe it's Monday and I should be at work. Hard to believe I won't be doing any more accounting. Accounting! Huh! - was that really my life?
