This week saw big Peter Pap visit Bali to case out the Indonesian market.

Indonesia is becoming an increasingly popular holiday destination for places other than just Bali, although our Bali is still an Aussie favourite and is where we saw PP visit to see some new places, and meet some new faces.

Every day, our office is inundated with enquiries from customers, outlets and agents worldwide about where they can purchase Stonefish Wines and of late we started to see an increase in demand from Indonesia. Big Peter Pap soon realised it was time to pack his sun screen (and of course, Stonefish samples) and pop on a plane to Bali.

To say that the trip started off a tad tumultuous was an understatement. All buckled up and ready to go, shortly before take off, the crew captain announces that they will not be travelling and will disembark due to some kind of fault (the less they knew the better). A collective group of sighs soon filled the plane and in a huff with everyone fighting for their on board luggage, the guests soon stomped off the airbridge with PP heading straight to the lounge where he immediately ordered a G & T while waiting to be called back to the new and hopefully fault-free plane.

Waiting, waiting.

Quite a few G & T's later and a bit of banter with travel partner Gavin, big PP was told that they will not fly today and will have to return the next day.

Fast forward some 18 hours, and PP found himself in Bali, staying in a lovely area called Seminyak. Gavin, a Bali veteran, showed him some sights and took him to some magnificent establishments, with two being absolute standouts, the Kudeta in Seminyak and the Red Carpet Champagne Bar (which stocks the biggest range of Champagne in Asia).

But of course, the trip was not entirely leisure, in fact as PP would say (very convincingly) - even the magnificent restaurants are all work, work, work.

I've said it before PP, can I be you if I am reincarnated?

On a somewhat serious note though, there were a lot of meetings that involved the distribution of Stonefish Wines in Indonesia, one in particular with an agent that supplies a large group of some 500 top hotels spread across the country. It was a positive experience, and we hope to be able to discuss our options further down the track. (Perhaps PP should send his loyal blogger Kat next time to do the honours of negotiation? I promise I'll work really hard PP!)

Well, until next time folks... Cheers! Who know, you may see me write from my bungalow in Bali, but I won't hold my breath...
