Cruise Day 15 – Bali (Indonesia).

A lovely day, revisiting the island first visited by Bill in 1977 and Di in 1982, and last visited by Bill in 1991 and Di in 2011. Much has changed, we guess mainly for the good, but fortunately the beach remains the same.

In the morning we were tendered from our ship to the port of Benoa, and we caught a large catamaran back in the afternoon.







We hired a van and a driver, Kadek Agus, for the day, and headed off to Kuta, Legian and Seminyak, where we wandered through the shops.



We had a nice lunch at the - http://www.cornerhousebali.com/ - in Seminyak.


Whilst Di received some pampering at the Wellbeing Spa, Bill and Elsa went down to the beach.
