On November 26 we woke at 4:10AM excited to be off for a hot break to Sanur, Bali. KAS celebrates American Thanksgiving so there was no school on Thursday and Friday. Everyone gets a 4 day weekend. It was 19.4C with a wind, what a shock as this is the first time we have seen the thermometer under 20! We closed the windows and headed for the airport.

In the Shade

It was very hot so we spent a bit of time relaxing and enjoying the breeze while sipping amazing coffee under the palapa.

Mahabharata Statue Near the Airport

Located at an intersection near the Ngurah Rai International Airport, this incredible artistic sculpture portrays a mythical fight scene.

At the Airport

I think they're proud of their national beer, and its quite good. Tastes a lot like our Canadian Pilsner.

Good-bye Bali

We really liked Bali and hope to return one day when we have more time to explore. There are many other places to go and things to see in this tiny country.
