Today I will depart at noon on a 16-18 hour bus/ferry trip from Jogjakarta to Bali. Bali is the destination that has been so elusive in the past so I am happy that it looks like I will finally make it there tomorrow morning. I am hopeful of greatness and expecting mediocrity so that I should not be disappointed. The long ride is a bit daunting but it seems the optimal way of getting there. I have booked a bulkhead seat and i hope that makes for a comfortable trip.
A couple of days ago I mentioned some shopping therapy and I bought some "Crocs" because I thought it was too good a deal to pass up. Once again I found out if it is too good to be true, it is. What I thought was costing me $9.49 was actually $94.90 as I found out upon checking my bank statement. There are so many zeroes involved when using Indonesian rupiah (One dollar equals about 9000 rupiah) so I have learned to be more careful when converting currencies, again. This makes these damn Crocs some of the most expensive shoes I own so you can bet I will be wearing them and wearing them and wearing them.
