Here is an empty Hong Kong airport around 5:30am on our first full day.  It was so empty and most of the restaurants were closed.  Lots of interesting restaurants and of course a McDonalds.

This one had the most interesting metal work decoration around it.  It wasn’t open either.  So what to do for 4.5 hours?  Why check your email, of course!

We met 17 of our group at the Hong Kong airport.  Others would join us in Bali at the hotel from the west coast and Australia.

Soon it was time to get on board for our last part of our trip.  Excitement level was rising even if we were exhausted already!

The flight from Hong Kong to Denpasar was just 4 hours and we could see Borneo and other islands on the way.

We arrived at our beautiful hotel, freshened up somewhat and donned our sarongs for dinner.  We were treated to a traditional gamelan music group and dance group.  The dancing was beautiful and the fabrics they wore made me itch to jump on stage to see it closer.  It was very beautiful.  We happily collapsed into bed dreaming of palm trees and music.
