hey all, i am afraid that this is just a quick entry to let you all know that we flew into Singapore tonight and we have arrived safe and sound - for those that care!!! Last few days in Bali were pretty much the same as all of the others, but with lots of rain!!! Plenty of nice and cheap food, with a bit of sunbathing when the sun camke out!!!
