Another day at the beach

Beach or Pool?....These Are The Decisions We Face
... that we would spend some time at the beach and then would go back to the pool in the afternoon. We walked down to the Seminyak beach and the tide was right in. It didn't seem like anyone just put down their towel, but rented lounges and umbrella's ...
Lap of Luxury

Maaf maaf, komm her jetzt! Enthusiastisch ging es für uns schon früh morgens auf den Weg in den Waterbom Park. Voller Vorfreude auf den bevorstehenden Spaßtag mit seinem Lieblingsmädchen Piepenhoe ist Jimbo mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit vorrausgeheizt. ...
Tamer version of Kuta
Seminyak is a little quieter than Kuta Beach (with all the night clubs). Our hotel was a very long walk from the beach, so we rented a motorcycle again for our stay, and drove to Kuta Beach, which is a long ride for us; and I rented a surfboard to try ...
