In Reply to: coffee posted by ChristineL on Sunday, 4. March 2007 at 18:29 Bali Time:
We have been taking coffee to Bali for 20 years and this is the first time we have received the white cross. November 06.
In November 05 on return to Perth with Bali coffee which we declared the "new" ( at the time) luggage xray showed a large dark object. So we (moi) had to open the case and find the dark object. And then "pack" the case again - in front of a million people.
Turned out to be the tin of Bali Kopi (which had been declared)thank goodness.
I was so worried that something else would turn up in the case that I had forgotten to declare - as you do!!
Perth November 06
This time it was one black stone from the beach at Amed - had to go through the case to find it. And cop a lecture on not declaring it in case it had all sorts of nasties attached. Which I am aware of - however a clean beach stone was not at the top of my list of items to declare.
cheers
