Jo and Hayley's SEA journal From Vietnam to Bali, our most extensive South East Asia trip yet!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the very late update, computer access has been sporadic! We have done a lot since my last report. Two days in Disneyland.....Hayley thought was awesome! Must admit, enjoyed it myself! We also went to Macau for three days, lashed out and stayed at the Galaxy Casino( 5 star), if you have time google it, was a fabulous place. I contributed to the economy, and lucky Hayley left with more money than she came with... just played the slots was a bit of fun. The casinos were quite a sight to see, but the rest of Macau was rather grotty and uninspiring. We considered staying there longer, but after an open air double decker bus trip around the "sights" decided not to. Hong Kong was nice but expensive. Our last couple of days there were very pleasant, wandered around the zoo and botanical gardens then headed to Soho area for dinner. We had found a japanese bar that did good tapas and very pleasant coctails..... little pots of fried spicy calamari and skewers with marinated chicken and baby leeks were our favourite. Decided to head to Bali early, as we had seen enough of China. Our accommodation is very nice at the Astana Pengembak Villas at Sanur, very nice pool, we are regularly wallowing in. We have been to the zoo and safari, petted a baby tiger, a saltwater crocodile and Hayley held  a bearcat. Today we hugged a baby orangutan, very sweet. Tomorrow will chill out in the pool and laze about swimming and reading. 10 days till home! Thanks for your message Susan, have tried to phone you, but no success, glad all is well, give my regards to Dulcie! Take care everyone! xxxxxx
