Daily journal of the Bali leg of a 2000 trip around the world. We awoke to our final morning of utter pampering. After breakfast we turned on the Women's Semifinal action in the US Open. The exciting Williams vs. Hingis match inspired us on the treadmills in the fitness center.

Checking-out went smoothly and soon we were across the river. The bell boy called to get a radio-taxi. This perplexed us for a few moments since there seemed to be a long line of taxis waiting. Soon one of these drivers approached us, offered to take us for 400 baht (more than twice the fare). When we refused the offer and acknowledged that we knew the correct amount he started yelling about how long it would take and other lies about road construction. It is strange to realize the number of tricksters in Bangkok.

Our taxi arrived, and we had a smooth, uncongested ride to the airport. We wandered through the duty-free area and checked email before boarding a huge 747 for the flight to Denpasar. Most of the passengers were enroute from London and looked quite tired.

An ongoing Bali travelogue with pictures and Ringo's diary. Wonderful Bali strives to promote international tourism to Bali by providing in-depth Bali information, illustrated with detailed maps and quality Bali pictures, showing you the everyday life of the Balinese people, their culture and traditions, their history, and the beautiful nature of their island.

Wonderful Bali aims to show the face behind the mask rather than the mask itself, thereby searching for the hidden depths behind the smiles. The focus of Wonderful Bali is on the 'traditional Bali' rather than on the 'average' tourist attractions of Bali - although these will not completely be ignored!
