We awoke to our final day, not wanting to go home. We sorted the bill had breakfast and made preparations to leave. It is hard to believe we will be freezing cold again by the end of the day.
Putting it off until the last minute, the speaker was cranked up one more time and we headed out the door to the staff lined up and ready to say goodbye
. They have all been so good - friendly, helpful without intruding on our holiday. They go about their work quietly and are there if you need them. Gusti is full of life and exuberance. We were made to feel this is our property and whatever we want is possible. It pretty well has been too. And while this is a more expensive holidy than our first intention it really is great value. We have had a magnificent property to ourselves with everything we have needed. Our final extras bill was surprisingly low - should have ordered more fireworks!
It is difficult to describe just how perfect Anandita is. Everywhere you look is a picture waiting to be taken. We have had such a relaxing holiday, with so many laughs.
The bus took us back through the Monkey Forrest and the little villages and towns. It is about 2 hours, some of us dozed a little and then we were at the airport. The airport is small but pretty new and had good facilities, including a Coffee Bean so Linda could get her favourite Iced Mocha.
The flight was good, some much needed sleep was achieved and we were back in Perth.
This has been an amazing holiday of luxury with great friends. We have laughed so much and relaxed in a perfect paradise.
Thanks to my fellow Anandita companions.
At the Ana, The Anandita, the place where life can get no sweeter

Bintangs and swimming are just the beginning
At the Ana,
We fell in love.....

Tho' I only know Kim & Linda I really enjoyed your Blog. Gave me an insight again into what can happen when you are YOUNG. We had our turn many years ago with Susan & Barry, Tim & Shallen, but its good to be reminded of the delights of Bali.
