Bali bound with a gazillion dollars
Some people backpack round Asia on a shoestring budget, scraping by counting the pennies and living with the minimal of expense. I, on the other hand, will be checking into the Bali Grand Hyatt for a long weekend for some well deserved rest and relaxation.
My plan is to sit next to one of the pools (it has six. 6 I tell you!) with a good book, no mobile phone, a cold beer and a view of the pretty girlies in bikinis by the beach. If I can arrange a cure young local in a grass skirt and a coconut shell bra cooling me with a fan and peeling grapes for me, then my life is complete.
The exchange rate for Bali is quite high, so my 1000 MR (approx £150) has netted me several million Rupiah.
I’ll let you all know how I get on with the coconut girl ![]()
