After waiting for months for myself to finally be ready to write my closing chapter, I started to doubt that I was ever going to be ready to complete it due to the emotions of 'closing the book'. It meant that the best of my trip of my life (to date) had finished. The final chapter, really was the final chapter. The reason I didn't put pen to paper (or thumb to iPhone) before now was because I wanted my head to be in the right place to reflect on the positive won...

My final 24 hours, gulp. It was an odd feeling day, very surreal, and I'm sure I was walking around in a dazed state. My eyes burst open at 8am, I was instantly aware that it was my last day in paradise, after that I couldn't get back to sleep.

Sadly, much to my disappointment, milk shakes weren't on the menu, for some delud...

Yes I made it to Ubud, finally, no more boats. We checked back into Ubud Terrace, where we previously stayed and then just spent the afternoon doing what we do best.. Pampering and eating! We ate at our fav place, Rai Pasti and had our favourite Indonesian dish, Gado Gado. Plumped up and sleepy, we went back to our fav spa place for another massage and hair creme bath.
