Contiki Bali

Today's the third and second last day of my trip to Bali. This trip was good...but of course laced with the undertone of some frustration. How so? The naivete in me chose to believe in the honesty of people here. Frankly, with their ready smiles and seeming friendliness, it seemed to bode well for a vacation.

Well, the truth is, we got conned by the 'sleazy' money changers here. Although we had watched them like hawks while they were changing our cash, when we recount the money back in the room, we always end up short. Some expert sleight of hand they must have practiced. This really marred the enjoyment of the trip here. Had I known earlier that all items here can be paid in the domestic currency of rupiah, I would have brought all in rupiah, rather than the greenbeck.

Heading back home tomorrow. Oh well.
