Together with my friend and colleague Spence I spend the Chinese Golden Holiday Week outside the country on the beautiful laidback island of Bali.

Recharging was the key target, but we managed to see some interesting stuff as well. For me, that included my first Manta Rays during a day of diving! The most beautiful creatures of the sea I have seen so far...

Unfortunately, the Balinese and guests had to suffer from another group of lunatics taking the lives of 22 while blowing themselves up at the time we checked in at our hotel.
