Virgin to Bali. Checked board in with Lion Air to Sumbawa. All good. As we were about to board plane on run way I got pulled aside to say board would not fit - whoops. Big problem. Got hold of one of drivers handed phone to airport dude - and hoped. Got off plane in Sumbawa to a message that Eddie had picked up board for me from airport. Relieved. Thought I had lost it.
Then arranged for it to be dropped at a bus station for 24 hr mission to Dompou. Then arranged for a driver from Lakey to pick it up. Right now I have no idea where it is but I am relying on good karma to be safely at Lakey when I return Sunday morning. Somehow these things tend to work out for me. Rose thinks I am mad and it will be lost in the ether. I am not 100% confident but hoping it is there.
Same thing happened with my big computer screen - they would not allow it in the plane. So I left with a bloke - paid him $30 - 3 days later it arrived via a cargo plane all boxed up in wood n delivered to my door. Bloody amazing !! I have some faith in the crazy systems over there
