We left Bali yesterday moring and we are heading for Kumai (Kalimantan, Borneo).
We hope to go on a trip up the river to see the Orang-utangs.
We cold have done with another couple of days resting as Steve has a rotten cold and I have some problem with my right leg which means that I cannot bend it much and cannot quite straighten it
so it is very difficult and painful to move about on the boat.  However we had to go if we were going to have a chance to go to Kumai as we have now been asked to be in Nongsa point on 15th for leaving on 18th as the have now decided that it will take up to 2 days to clear out (re export boat) and 17th is a bank holiday so nothing will happen then.
We are always getting new news which affect our plans...
Bali in our opinion now is nice, it was just that the place we were staying at (the commercial harbour) was a dump and very depressing..
Also with all the hassle of importing the yacht and all the official visits/paperwork it was all a bit of a night mare.
We had the main fridge fixed there, pump apparantly but the fix lasted less than 48 hours so it is not working any more.
At least we have the little spare fridge so we are OK, just a nuisance and we need to get this fixed somewhere else..
