Home again

Going back.
Thursday, 14th June, 9.55 p.m.

• Going home now.
• Had my farewell dinner (Solo style) with Maman before I left for the airport.
• Sleepy after SPA treatment, but happy to go home.
• Met nice people along the way and along the holiday – it’s true, to have friends one must first be friendly. It works both ways.
• Unless it’s with the right people; I think I prefer travel alone.
• Paul Coelho advised: best way to know a place is by knowing the local people, observe, listen and learn without prejudice. Tried it and it had opened my eyes. Will try this next time. Let the journey be your guide; not vice versa.
• When you’re on a journey, sometimes, it’s important to let loose, but wisely – be abandoned but not carelessly. It’s surprising what the road will bring you – people, places, chances, experiences.
• Something I learnt this trip: it is better to be wisely ignorant than foolishly suspicious.
• Maybe next time, 5 days in Bali, 5 days in Phuket? Or Bali in June, Phuket in December? Or a whole new place? We’ll see.
• People who want to go to Bali and need a contact, consider the new friend in made Bali, Maman – contact: 081916196160 or mat17879@yahoo.com
