Mercedes Corby arrives in Bali

RAW: Mercedes Corby arrives at Denpasar airport on Friday, in a trip to bring her sister Schapelle home.

Mercedes, who now lives in Australia, arrived in Bali with her son Nyoman and said she was excited to see Schapelle.

They were met by Mercedes' husband, Wayan, who exclaimed that his son looked good.

"Give us some privacy with my wife. I haven't seen her for three years. I missed her more than you," Wayan told the media at Bali's Ngurah Rai International Airport.

Questioned by reporters, Mercedes said she was happy to be back in Bali, pleased Schapelle was returning to Australia, and excited to see her sister.

Schapelle Corby has been living in Bali out of jail since being granted parole in February 2014, but a judge's ruling said that May 2017 was the earliest she could return to Australia.
