Bali - the end So for the second to last day, Nik was feeling a bit better so he had a foot massage and Hannah had a pedicure so her feet look real again and it was a nice activity that we could do without moving. We then went for a last minute shopping trip and did very well at setting a budget and haggling down so we didn't pay a penny more.

Two bus loads of people are taking the tour.First stop was Mataram in Lombok, and the Mataram Mall, which is open 24 hours. ...

Day 13Had an early start to get some brekkie then go and get the boat to Lombok which has a different indigenous people (the Sasak) and religion (Islam) to Bali and is much more underdeveloped, so it should be interesting to see.Hannah has not been very well in the guts so was not looking forward to the boat journey.
