Cocktails with new friends at sunset

There must be something in the air and water in Candidasa that allows friendships to be kindled quickly. It's only my fourth day at the resort and I know the names of almost all the staff and visitors staying at the resort. It doesn't matter if you're sitting in the pool, bar or dining area, within minutes, you'll find yourselves joking and laughing with everyone there - it's very special.

We wandered out for Happy Hour this evening to enjoy the sunset (and a few cocktails) and ended up having a nice long chinwag with our new friends. They were:-

• Joanna & Li Ki from Singapore
• Carolyn & Larry Bentley from Florida, USA
• Bryan & Marie Harrison from South Australia
• Neil & Marlene Challis from Geelong, Australia
• Tony & Fiona Newstead from Brisbane, Australia
• Vicky Spencer from Canberra, Australia
• Rod & Sharon Wallis from Hobart, Australia
  

You would probably have guessed by now that looking for an Australian in Bali is like looking for a needle in a haystack...NOT! :-P
