Day 5 - St. Patrick's

"Top of the morning to you!" - that how we start each day on the trip, and especially St. Patrick's.

After a night in the noisy hotel we went to pick up our indonesian visas. Then - a small bargain over the taxi price to bus station - we actually got a bit better in bargaining.

Also, we got a bit better in eating the local food, especially the rice stuff, which is amazing. As proved by Zoli and Vlad - don't eat western food in Asia, as they don't know how to cook it :)

The bus to Kuala Lumpur was flying at 140 km/h. At 4pm we arrived to the futuristic KL with skyscrapers, highways, financial centers and other alien-liking facilities.

Singapore embassy does not issue visas anymore - there are four agencies that do this, but all of them could handle the docs only within two days. So, we decided to go to Bali straight away.

Last flight to Bali was at 7pm - it was 5:10 at the moment we decided to go, no ticket, 60km to the airport, etc.

The taxi driver promised us to be in the airport within an hour, which was already too late... But we gave it a try :) the whole way on the taxi was full of adrenaline - is this the right flight, is this the right airport, can we make it on time?

With 90-150 km/h the car was literally flying. It was especially symbolic, when we were passing Sepang Formula 1 ring :) We entered the airport at 5:55, which left us with 5min to buy tickets and check-in. Luckily, we could do it at the service desk omitting the sales office lines. At 7pm we took off to Bali...
