when, having been on a 12-week tour of Europe, car hire, camping, the Matterhorn, Paris, Rome, a apartment in a gatehouse in a Medieval village just outside Nice, Andorra, Spain and everything else you could imagine, then, whilst stopping-over in Hong Kong on the way home, YOU TRY TO CONJOUR UP A WAY OF GETTING TO BALI ON THE WAY BACK TO MELBOURNE.. (That was a long sentence). You even try to think up excuses to tell your boss! How to get some more money. Where do you buy the tickets etc etc.
This story, though unbelievable, is true, because it happened to me!
As it turned out, my wife assured me that we would be back in Bali shortly after our return. She was right. Having arrived back in November '96, we were back on the Island of Dreams in January '97.
My appetite was sated!!
I wish you well. There is only one cure for Balitis: Bali, in massive doses.
Could I be so presumptuous as to suggest a substitute until you get back: Sit in a sauna with a diesel truck and a guy smoking a kretek. You could even have a mangy dog sitting beside you, or a long-legged rooster!! Throw a few empty 'Aqua' cups around and a bit of sand, and voila!!.. . you're back
