Meeting Terry, Rod and Sinta in Seminyak Bali-part II

All of us, including Ika and Jevon, went over to JP's Warung for lunch and Rod discovered he's lost his wallet, containing cash, ID's and credit cards. Quickly contacting his wife in Melbourne, he cancelled his cards and settled into realizing his wallet was probably in the taxi they had taken to get to my house. The taxi company could not find it so all looked lost. Rod got a call from a friend in Melbourne telling him a tourist had found his wallet in the street. In fact the guy was down the other end of Jl. Dhyana Pura. I retrieved it and he told me he saw the wallet sitting in the middle of the road. It's times like that I really respect honest people.

Rod was in ecstatic mood and kicked of a round of drinking that lasted for several hours. Sometime later Rod and I ended up at the house, Terry apparently somewhere else. In all the fun we were having I did not manage to get a photo of us all, or the lovely Sinta. Oh well that will be for another time. Sitting and listening to these guys is real customer feedback and important. Aussies tend to cut to the chase when telling you what they like and I picked up some useful tips, including making our travel insurance booker more simple. Terry said "Yours was the first one I looked at and would of spent money, but its too complicated." "If you had a link to where I could just buy, I'd do it."

Rod and Terry are 2 great blokes and I look forward to catching up with them again.

Dear Nick,
I got to Bali again and still never managed to get to see you. Eluk my ‘Adopted Daughter” Works at The Pura? Villa Spas.Lives in the Seminyak area. I stayed with A Balinese Family for a while, Wayan and Made Sinah.Made speaks less English than I do Indonesian.But she could say, :”Peter, have shower now” So many ceremonies as they have a grand daughter. I had photographed the wedding etc. The Blessing of the Child and all the things that go with it.

Komang is sick but now we know what is the matter.
Hope to be back for Nyepi.regards Peter
