Naughty but nice

I guess its been a while since my last blog post & you may have been wondering why... Well firstly, Indonesia has become 'normal' to me, so it's hard now days to find things to write about. Secondly, I've been spending quite a lot of time in Bali.

I travelled to Bali with Zoe 2 weeks ago in order to hold her hand while she had some medical tests. I was supposed to return to Flores after 3 days, but I'm still here! Now this is certainly a bit naughty, I used up my holiday allowance going to Thailand last month. But on the other hand I have utilised the faster & more reliable internet connection to finish & submit my research report.

So what has kept me in Bali so long? It is nice here, but I do keep meaning to leave, it's just that things keep cropping up. I've changed my flight 3 times! The first time was to stay with Zoe whilst she underwent more tests. The second was a public holiday in Flores (why go back to sit at home alone?) and this last time it was a man.

Just when I was getting into the swing of being an independant woman I meet this guy who ticks all my boxes, & the feeling seems to be mutual. We had an amazing time for 5 days, but now he's gone & it's unlikely our paths will cross again unless we make them.

So now I don't know what to do. Would it be crazy to chase what could just have been a 'Bali thing'? Or would it be crazy to miss this opportunity to find out if it really could be something more? It'd be naughty... but it would be nice.

Chase the dream!

Its hard to imagine that someone comes along that can achieve everything you want in a partner!

You're time in Flores is almost over and being a little naughty from time to time is not going to be a total loss.

Being strong and independent now shouldn't stop you from getting everything you want out of life and the experience you are currently going through.

OK, Mum here!
What on earth do you think you're thinking of? This is just a plain and simple non sensical holiday romance with someone you hardly know for goodness sake. You're lonely, homesick and vulnerable! Just finish your work, travel a little and come home !!!
OK, fellow woman here!
Forget all that crap, take the risk, follow that 'special' man and see where it leads. If it fades then so be it, but you won't know unless you pursue it! There's nothing worse than 'what could have been'.

I'm with your mum completely!
You will always regret the things you don't do, NOT the things you do do!
