Final days in Bali

We have had a few easy days in Ubud.  We hired a motorbike and went for a trip to Kintamani.  We were stopped for a rego and license check, and the police decided our license was not valid.  We think they were just fund raising for their personal benevolent fund.
Kintamani was pretty much as we remembered it from 34 years ago.

We were amazed at the thousands of shops selling everything all along the roads, almost everywhere you go.

Last night we had a final dinner in Ubud - the local specialty - whole smoked duck with rice and coconut vegetables.  followed by fresh fruit - yum.
We are now at the airport waiting to check in.  We have decided to fly straight home rather than spend a few days in Darwin and catch the train home.  We have looked at the weather forecast and are not looking forward to the cold.
