Winter 2019 - 40. Goodbye Bali

40.  Goodbye Bali

Samhita Garden Walkways

After really resting for the last 3 days at Samhita Garden we are ready to get going. We read a lot, did tons of emails, took naps, had more massages and went for walks and just bummed out.

Some of the Foliage at Samhita Garden

It was a good stop for our last days in Ubud.

By noon all our bags were packed and at the reception in the front of the Hotel.

We strolled one more time to Balifornia for lunch and Carol had her favorite ‘Capcay’ meal.

We stopped by Uma Sari and Echa was there, of course, and we bade her goodbye. She is a gem, a real asset to the Uma Sari Cottages. Without her, our stay at Uma Sari would not have been the same. She has this natural grace that is soothing and works like an applied lotion. It sinks into your skin and makes you feel good. For the fun of it Echa made us hold up a prepared sign she had that spelled out “ We Love Uma Sari “ and she took some pictures of us on her cell phone. So you might see us in some advertisement if you are on Bali.

Capcay - Soooo Good

One more massage at the massage parlor we liked so much and then, we slowly ambled back to Samhita Garden to wait for the taxi. 

The taxi came early, so we got to the airport early, and the check through was painless. We had 2 different security checks. They did not confiscate Carol’s water at the first check but made sure to take the water bottle away on the 2^nd check. It’s Bali, it somehow all works. I did not feel urged or hurried in any way.

Echa and Her Breakfast Helper at Uma Sari

The airport in Denpasar handles tons of tourists, they know their routine, and they know how to manage masses. We became a very typical flyer on Qantas. 

Our next stop is Sydney for just a stopover and then on to Auckland, NZ, our next series of Blogs will start in Auckland, NZ.

Bye, bye Bali…it was a pleasure meeting you.
