12.5.10

Our last day in Bali was Friday the 3rd. Our plane didn’t leave until late at night, so we spent the day walking around, and even went over to the beach to watch the sunset. The few days in Bali we just relaxed and tried to soak up all the last bits of it that we could. The one day we met up with our friend Cass, whom we met in Port Douglas. We helped her find a place, and had dinner with her the one night to tell her of all the things she should and shouldn’t do while in Bali. It was short but sweet, and of course, it is always nice to meet up with friends!
Our flight took us to Darwin at 3am where we had a 4 hour layover. We attempted to sleep but we weren’t that successful. We began check-in when we noticed someone who looked really familiar! He was Asian, and I kept thinking he may have been a photographer. He recognized us too, because he asked us…”don’t you recognize me!” Come to find out, it was the dishwasher from Zinc! John and noticed him from just hanging out the Zinc staff. He and his girlfriend had spent 2 weeks in Bali, so we chatted for a bit, took some pictures and said goodbye. How random and odd is that?
Our flight from Darwin to Melbourne was long. About as long as it would take to get from the very tip of Vermont to the very bottom of California, maybe even longer. We eventually landed in Melbourne around noon on Saturday. Len was there to pick us up, and we were so excited to see him again. When we got back to his home, we gave Jen and Justine a long, tight hug and began sharing all our travel stories. We also eagerly gave them the souvenirs we had bought them in Bali and started to unpack all our clothes.
Bali just flew by. I can’t believe that we got to see and do so many things. I am so happy that modeling was so productive and plentiful, and feel so blessed by the people we met along the way.
Bali has been the one place I have wanted to visit since I was a little girl. It has been a big dream of mine, and I feel so proud that I have accomplished it. We were smart to spend 2 months there, and I am so glad that we ignored all the people who told us we were stupid for going.
I didn’t feel sad when I left though, because deep down inside, I know I will be back again. We love you Bali <3
