Bali

When we have to wait, we travel! This last week we have been in Indonesia - Jakarta for a few days and Bali for the weekend.

Jakarta was interesting. Security is tight everywhere. You can't get into hotels or malls without your car being scanned. Bali was really cool. A beautiful place and beach. We had great seafood dinners on the beach in Jimbaran and went to Ubud for the day.

We stopped by Monkey Forest and fed the monkeys. I had told Wit that monkeys kind of freak me out, mainly because they are so human-like. I told him how to feed them, just place the banana on your hand and hold it out, then they will walk up and take it. Wit was holding it like a baseball and flung it as soon as a group started surrounding him!! It is a bit nerve-racking when they come in herds. They are so dang smart! One monkey proceeded to climb my back while I was there, that was a bit disturbing, but funny.

The shopping was really neat. If only we had more time, I think we would have come home with some gigantic Balinese furniture. There's always next time...

Now we are back in HK. Still no definite word on our ceremony date yet, but we are still hopeful for the 23rd.

Below are a couple of pics from our trip, we are really bad about taking pictures when we are on vacation.
