Organised a short break for the gang. Paul & Ziggy, Allison & Rod, Anita & Glenn, Jade & Duane. And a bloke named Rob.

Flew into Denpasar on Friday night and quietly tucked ourselves into bed at Bloo Lagoon in Padangbai by midnight.

We were up in time for the 8:30am pick up in the lobby. Two relaxing dives to get started and a casual lunch at the local cafe. Some beverages and a swim before dinner at Joglo in Candidasa. A good start to the trip.

Al & Rod and Paul & Zig are staying in the royal suites. The rest of us are making do.

We're in Padangbia for another night before heading north to Tulamben.
