trip to Bali and new zeeland (more)

Hello again,
After visiting Bali, where we had a wonderful time and very warm, we are now in new zeeland to visit our daughter, who lives in auckland.After some problems with luggage, we are oly allowed to have 15 pp and we were going to colder new zeeland.So had to pay anyway for the extra kilo's.Again air asia was very strange for us: there were seats you can use overall. the seats are not numbered so it was a run to the airplane.very strange.Then we landed on Kuala Lumpur and we had to change airports. Air asia landed on a different spot.Now the transfer was in daytime, so all went thistime smoothly.After several hours of waiting we started to go of to new zeeland. The welcome of our daughter was very nice andwe had many talks because we had not seen eachother in a long time.We have visited an island, WAIHEKE, that is an wonderfull island close to auckland (45 minutes by ferrie).It is an island where 'flower power' people went in the years 70's. Some of them are stayed there and still wearing long hair and flower power clothes.funny to those people. There was market on the island and we met a polisch woman, who married with a dutch guy and was visitingnew zeeland on her one. She invited us to have a drink a glass of wine. That was very nice of her.We are not so used to the cold weather here, because we came from Bali and there the temperatuur was 30 degrees and here15 degrees in daytime.Very funny though, we see here in new zeeland people in the 40 ties walking in t-shirt and short pants, while the temp is only 15-18 degrees.Because of the summer may be, but now it is springtime and the temp is very low.It is a beautifull country here and the people are very nice. They are not so in a hurry as in holland, or western europe.and if you see the houses, all are places on a big piece of ground. only 1 level and you think that the house are big, but when you go insidethey are not as big as you think. The surrounding of the houses are big. many grass around the houses, many space in front and behind.Well, for now this memo, next week more. I will try to put photo's on this site as well.You can also see photo;s on the dutch site (similair, but in dutch language).
see therefore:

visit sumahotel bali and new zealand

Hello readers of this blog.
We have traffeled from holland to Bali , the suma hotel, and we will tell you here what we all have done and let you see alist of photo's to let you see what happened all there in Bali.First of all we took the plane by malaysia airline and flew to Luala Lumpur in Malaysia. So far so good.After that we took a plane from Asia Air!!We thought it was good, but first we only can take 15 kilo of luggage and before it was alowed to carry 20 kilo.So we opened the luggage to carry ourselves, but we still had to much and we paid for that. 30 euro. oke.Then we were able to board...... I did not believe it can do by planes, but........ we had seatnubers from 52 and 53....\But there were no seats with that number. We asked and the steward said:" you can sit where you want".That was why everybody was running to the plain !!!!Oke we are in the plane (was very old with old chairs) and flying.Arrival at den pasar was oke. All the stuff in the luggage again and take a taxi to Sanur.Sanur was very beautifull, with white sand on the beaches (so also the photo's).We stayed there for 3 days and was very good there.You can see the photos.After that we have been picked up by my partner Luh from Sumahotel. and it was a warm welcome.This hotel we have invested money to create a bigger hotel and also more beautifull. There is now a very nice pool, a beautifull restaurant, 4 nice appartments, a nice tropical garden etc. If you see the pictures you will see.The pictures are already to be seen on: (dutch site) http://www.sumahotel.com and on http://bobbie-sumahotel.blogspot.com.So we did a kind of working hollyday, but it is nice to do.The time we were in lovina beach, in our hotel in the north of bali, there was SAILING INDONESIA.That is an festival that organise sailing ships to come to bali every year and they visit Lovina beach.There were several activities on the beach such as dancing, bull racing and many more. (look at the dutch part of this blog and you will see).I will report more next days.bob
