For our last day, we both felt pretty depressed. We had enjoyed Indonesia so much that we were really sad to leave! We decided to have a relaxed day, and so Van and I headed to the beach after breakfast and packing. Van negotiated a surfboard (cheaper than Kuta!) and I got a sun lounger. The waves were pretty big and Van was a bit out of his league, but still he enjoyed his last chance in the ocean!
We were soon joined by Dad and Uncle John, and we relaxed and watched the surfers and people. When it was time to go, Rama picked us up and we stopped at a 'Warung' (small local shop restaurant) to try Babi Guling or suckling pig, the only Indo delicacy we had not sampled yet. The babi is infused with a spicy concoction typically involving turmeric, coriander seeds, lemongrass, black pepper and garlic, and traditionally spit-roasted. We waited while they prepared takeaways for us and headed back to the house.
While we enjoyed the Babi, it wasn't one of the highlights of the food we had tried. The pork was nice, quite spicy. It was served with very crispy crackling, stir fried green veg and mung beans ('urap'), rice and pork sausage.
After this, our time came to an end, and we had to say goodbye. Bali was definitely one of our favourite places and a real highlight in our travels.
