BALI - Day 21 - Photos taken over the past few days - 

Well almost the end of another trip and an interesting one. Freezing cold weather in Hong Kong and Taipei (15 - 17ºC) then hot humid weather on our trip around Bali (32ºC+ with humidity). Today the weather has changed but as you will see from the pictures taken over the past days, the weather here is very changeable but hot.



13th - Turns out to be a lovely start to the day. 
Hoping to catch breakfast!

14th - Beautiful early morning sky.

15th - Quite a heavy start to the day today. 







Rain is on it's way - won't last too long!

Hope you have enjoyed our holiday with us - next instalment will be our trip to Amsterdam in May to attend the ISSA Interclean show for a week. Hopefully the flowers will be beautiful. See you there!
