Angel Strangers

Sometimes u come across wonderful people who appear just from nowhere n become saviours. I came across two such gentlemen recently at different places who helped me in the trouble hours.

We were coming back from a road trip to Kintamani, Bali. That was a blessed day cos series of incidents happened throughout the day. We left early in the morning so couldn't get the currency exchanged. We had some money with us but that wasn't enough. Since we were driving on the country-side, we couldn't find any money exchanger. Nonetheless, we spent carefully n kept exploring the places. N yes we shopped a lil ;)

By evening we had exhuasted all our money n we were actually pennyless and we were still almost 50 - 60 KM away from our destination. Not a good news in a Foreign Land! My friend was lil apprehensive abt the situation so I assured her that we'll definitely reach our hotel without hassle.

Luckily we had fuel in our tank. We started our journey n everything was in order till we came close to the city. We entered Denpasar n our destination was Kuta. After following few road signs n driving for almost 45 minutes we realized tht we r lost. We were asking route every now n then but now Denpasar seem like a big Maze. We asked route from a biker n he told us that he is going in the same direction so we can follow him. We started following him but with a lil apprehension as Indonesia is one of the 'not so safe' countries. So we stopped after following him for a while n asked the roadside ppl if we r going in the right direction. Tht sweet lil Balinese boy waited a few feet away from us so tht we don't loose his sight n get lost agn. After following him for almost 20-25 mins we still reached nowhere near Kuta. By that time our fuel indicator was shouting 'LOW'. No money n now fuel. In true words we were in a shit situation. Unfortunately we couldn't find any money exchanger on our way.

Wen the needle touched 'zero' fuel we shared that we r out of fuel with the Balinese boy. He stopped in front of the next fuel station n asked us to get it refilled. Poor boy din't know our monetary situation, we also tried our luck...in case the fuel station might accept our USDs. But NO it dint work thr. We finally went to tht boy n told him tht we hv no fuel n we hv no money either. Tht guy lended money to us to get it refilled...Obliged, we followed him n after 20 mins we reached a place tht was known to us n very close to our hotel.

First thing we did thr was, got sm money exchanged n returned him. We might hv paid him the money bk but we'll nvr b able to repay for the help he extended to us on tht eventful day. He has marked an impression which will last forever.

God bless tht Balinese Guy!!!

Quite similar incident happened few days bk at Agra. Luckily thr was no issue of money and fuel this time, just tht we got lost. A nice gentleman guided us to our destination n disppeared into nowhere after we reached thr...We could just say Thanks to him.
