Our driver that took us to Tanah Lot on Tuesday night was saying to us that October was a big month. With the fuel prices set to increase 130%, The aniverary of the 2002 bombings and Ramadan. The authorities were also about to start a crack down on illegals from Java.
He then said one more accident and its the end of Bali. He spoke about the government.

Now in hindsight it sounds like he knew this was going to happen.

I know we chose not to go to a huge place with lots of Aussies to watch the AFL grandfinal last weekend. It was always in the back of your mind.
Now its real spoooky that we were walking down that street just a few days ago.
Do we let our 19yr old son go on December 27th as he has planned. It will be his first time. Big decision. Hopefully things will become a little clearer in a month or so.

We have watched this week the balinese repainting over the names on the memorial at Paddys. Very chilling!!!
