Not just back, it's been a month now but life is hectic.
Travelled alone this time, two weeks without the BOF (Boring old fart for you youngsters) it was a lot less entertaining without the idiot abroad factor, he's worth his weight in gold for a good giggle.
Two weeks alone in Bali. It was a wild ride of hotel hopping, walking eating, walking, drinking, walking.

RESTAURANTS
I'm not a foodie & don't take much notice of where or what I eat,
but 2 restaurants made a big impression on me.
Tulip.
If you like turkish food this is the place.
'Lahmacun' (spicey minced lamb turkish pizza) to die for I had 3,
washed down with 1 or 2 too many 'Rakia' (mid east version of Arak).
I lived & worked in Turkey 35 years a go & this was a trip down memory lane. The decor is lovely.
MANG ENGKING
OR 'BALE UDANG' pronounced 'BALLET OODANG' if you get a taxi.
This is the most beautiful restaurant I've ever been in. Take a camara & propose to your girlfiend, she will say yes.
can't remember what I ate sorry. but got heaps of photos.
didn't see a drinks menu or anyone drinking booze???.
Arrived at Sammy & Suzie's Bar with a wad of cash to buy the Plonker & his 69 mates a beer, but he & his mates were a no show. It was a cheap round: 1 for Dennis, 1 for Ted & 1 for the love of my life 'MR SMUDGE' I just wanted to take the 'Smudge' home with me.
Sorry about the spelling mistakes in advance but can't be bothered to check. The Trifocals are still in the post & the arthritis meds havn't reached my fingers yet. ;)
Sherrill.
