We will not give on Bali, we were there last year, we got there just before the second bomb. Everyone seemed relaxed and happy. On the beach at Sanur it was so busy lots and lots of tourists. Bang the bombs happened and over night the place emptied out. We stayed, as we said that is what the terrorist want. The Baliense were so so sad. They went from being very happy to extreme sadness overnight. We had a taxi driver and he told us that his wife had been in the front of The Rajah restaurant, she had hurt her ears and could not hear. Her boss was asking her to return when the restaurant was up and running, but she was too scared to go back. The taxi driver said that they were going to get some compensation 3000000 rph. That was about $50 at the time in NZ. So we have to keep going don't we? Carol
