Photos from Day 12, when I enjoyed an early start to the day in Denpasar, I took a Cathay Pacific flight back to Hong Kong and I had an easy ride on the way to the Skycity hotel.

After arriving at Gate 3, it was door 1L that opened first. That had become something of a theme on this Asia leg, particularly with Cathay Pacific.
