#649 Monday 23 July

Last night was a night for the blog!  Kaylia was NOT HAPPY that I was going "holiday - Bali" .... and she wasn't!   All the schedules helped but they didn't fix it.  The parting at the airport was a last ditch attempt by Kaylee to get her trip!  I'll find out later how the night went.
.
The 2am arrival in Bali was uneventful ... except that the progress on the building of the airport extensions  is simply amazing!  It's only 6 weeks since I was last here and the changes are huge .... new roads, access ways, structures sprouting .....
.
Morning inspection .... I think I may need to but two pumps ... not one.  The pressure pump has water in the air pressure chamber .... since this pump was purchased 22/12/11, it should be covered under warranty.  I will talk to Ace today and see what proof of purchase they will accept.
.
I need to make a list!  (More later)
.
Well ... the day consisted of -
- Ace - bought a pump to replace the damaged pump.  This I can have repaired under warranty so we will have a spare on hand.
- Indosat - sorted out why internet on my phone was so expensive .... you have to have a 'packet' turned on .... it is turned on now and hopefully it will now be sorted for the future trips.
- trouping round the place trying to find an accountant who speaks English.  I don't think such a person exists!  (Oops ... we have one already .... Sanggar)  So I'll ask Sanggar to speak to local accountants to arrange tax return lodgement.
 - Visiting all the Ace Hardware branches looking for pump parts ... no luck ... but I found a scooter almost identical to the one Kaylia has already ... so it will be here when she comes to Bali.
- visiting Made's favourite 'Babi guling' spot .... it was good .... sort of like ayam betutu.  Nothing like roast pork.
- to Hardys to stock up on drinks
- back to the villa at 2:30 to collapse and sleep .... recovery from the arrival.  After getting to the villa at 3am, I didn't sleep till about 5am .... up at 7am ....  I'll sleep well tonight!
