Sorry I never got around to finishing up our Bali trip!
Our last day in Bali we packed up our bags, threw them on our peeling backs, and headed out of town. We had originally planned on viewing a bird sanctuary, but when we heard most of the birds were in cages, we were quite disappointed. Our plans were changed to visit a waterfall. We got to the site and climbed down the rocks to reach a river with an overflowing shoot coming out of the rock. We noticed the locals used the place to shower, how there was a marked path for women and another path for men. Someone asked us if we brought our bathing suits, but they were at the top of the hike. With how warm we were by the time we got down, it would have been a good idea. However, the water wasn’t the cleanest (not your glacier water like in BC) We took pictures none the less, as the green vegetation surrounded the scenery and added the tropical depth we were amidst. Now onto the airport. A busy place filled with visitors we could only do the touristy thing and have good-old McDonalds for lunch.
With an hour flight and the hour time change, we arrived near the time we departed. Strange. Add on an hour of driving, and we were back in our dorm room—exhausted, burnt, and stinky. Our bags were dumped into the laundry and we arranged ourselves back into our humble home.
Overall we look back on our trip and are amazed. What a wonderful time of relaxation and reflection in the beauty of God’s creation. We wish others could have been there to bask in the glory with us as we thought of our loved ones often. Maybe one day we will return. We thank the Lord for keeping us safe and relatively healthy. We also thank you for your prayers and communication throughout our adventures!!!
