Hi Stuart, I have just returned from the most wonderful holiday - everything was perfect (even the weather) and all the hotels were excellent - especially the Sobel Pier and the Kuri Santrian - I was totally seduced by Bali and can see why Captain Cook's men had no desire to come back after they found the place it is magical. Having said all that I would like to thank you again for all the organising you did - it really was "my holiday of a lifetime" and I am sue I will bore everyone to death with the details.Thank you.
