Turning 50…final stop Bali!
Our flight landed to pouring rain and darkness…needless to say we were hopeful that we would wake up to better weather. The hotel was located in a quieter part of the Nusa Dua area and was a bit less crowded. We arrived in our room at the Grand Mirage with a lovely birthday welcome and […]
