"Are you here to take photographs lads, or just a general look around? If you are here to take photographs it might be worth waiting until tommorrow, as it is quite cloudy up there today. I can sell you the tickets today, so when you arrive tommorrow you do not have to wait etc."

They agreed this was a good idea and planned to return early in the morning.

"What shall we do now then"
said one of the group of lads.

They discussed the options and decided to go to a bar and to have a few drinks. A few drinks turned into a lot of drinks. In the morning they all slept in to recover from the alcohol and when they awoke they quickly heard the news.

Alcohol had possibly saved their lives.

I met another man who had been in Bali on the night of the terrorist attack there. He and his girlfriend had planned to meet another couple in one of the bars which was eventually bombed.

Earlier in the day the couple had phoned to cancel as one of them was ill. Another lucky escape!
