Bali - Indonesia

Wow Bali, what a change from Vietnam. The airport is located on a beach. It was a very good thing that our pilot knew what he was doing because an inch off and we would have landed in the water. Bali is very beautiful: its sunny, rich with colorful architecture, exotic trees and flowers, people are smiling, the sand is white and the water is crystal clear. Most of the tourists are from Australia and Netherlands. There are very few Canadians in this area (its very far from Canada). We are staying a short walk from the beach and our hotel has a very nice pool. Including breakfast we are paying $25 per night, we were very happy with this deal. Our plan is too see a few more islands, a volcano, wild animals, a few temples, the mountains and maybe maybe try surfing.

Last night we had sushi for dinner. We were both really craving it, there are very few sushi restaurants that we have seen so far. Our dinner cost us three times what we paid for one nights accommodation and it was mediocre. When I get home from the airport I already have a plan. I will stop at country style for coffee and a bagel with cream cheese (I have not seen one bagel or cream cheese here) and then I'm going to a sushi restaurant. After this trip I have definitely come to the conclusion that Toronto has the best food and fairly close to authentic cuisine from abroad.

We want to wish everyone who is celebrating a happy Easter and a happy Passover. Were sad to miss the Casimiri Easter celebration. I'm sure Charlene and Vanessa cooked a very delicious and hearty meal (I hope without any explosions this time :) ) Let us know how it went. I'm also very sad to miss my family celebration dinner. I miss home cooking and my family very much.

P.S - After rereading this blog I realized how much of it was concentrated around food and I realized that its dinner time!!! I will leave you now and hope to hear from you soon!
