... they have ever seen in the world, and they were not wrong. The variety and diversity was incredible, and the fish life was abundant. We saw quite a lot of trigger, angel, trumpet and clown fish as well as 1 small barracuda and a huge puffer fish, maybe 1m long. The dive itself was perfect, once we got our buoyancy the current slowly took us out to sea just as planned, we literally just hand to lay back, kick occasionally to avoid any protruding coral and just watch ...

... put on my jacket (including stylish hood) before continuing. With the road now saturated it was now that I realised that there was no front mudguard, meaning that my face was being constantly plyed with a never ending spray of water from the spinning front tyre. Aagh.Eventually I got back to the hostel; after walking the bike through the restaurant area like a drowned rat I stashed my bike on my porch and went inside my bungalow. My shorts were absolutely drenched. I took them off ...

... nawet nie po to zeby sie czegos dowiedziec tylko spodziewalismy sie duzej galerii z batikiem. Chcielismy porownac cene za jaka kupilismy batik w szkole batiku w Yogyakarcie. Tutaj batik jest duzo drozszy, a poza tym obrazy sa prymitywne i bez finezji. Wstyd cos takiego powiesic na scianie.
Zobaczylismy jeszcze typowa zabudowe wioski Bali, ktora zostala przerobiona na galerie obrazow. W zabudowie mieszka rodzina malarzy, ktora maluje od kilku pokolen ...

... and wife and he seemed like a good guy, plus the room ($20/night) was nicely decorated and overlooked the rice fields with a cushioned oversized bench on the balcolny. But after I checked in, the room was hot at night (even with the fan on high), and there were ants crawling on the other bed in my room and then ants all over the sink in bathroom. Not to mention construction next door that started at 8am in the morning ...

... forest where all under renovation, but as with all temples in Bali unless you are in full traditional Balinese dress ...

28.03.09: Bye Bye Hong Kong, hello Bali. After a few modern cities, it is nice to go back to a different atmosphere. When we arrived at immigration, there was like an hour queue, as you need to apply for a rip-off visa and there were only 5 customs guards for 3 full planes arriving. When we finally got out, we could not find the place we wanted to rent our car from. We were not sure of the name anymore, the phone with ...

... Terminal, endlessly pursued by a catchy Balinese flute tune which I now know to be Degung Sabilulungan - check it out on youtube, for me that hauntingly repetitive trill will forever evoke the departure lounge at Denpaser. And don't you just hate airport bookshops which clingfilm/shrinkwrap every last publication so you can't browse! About an hour later they called me back to the Singapore desk and cleared me to board the flight so my final Indonesian transaction ...

... German family, the Schmitz, and we talked for a looooong time before we were able to go back to Legian to party. It was the eve of my birthday and we needed to celebrate. Our first stop was a newly opened bar, the Engine Room, where the happy hour ends at midnight and before that, drinks are one for one. And it was followed by several bar to bar hopping, to Paddy's, Bounty, Mbargo etc... and yeah... a bunch of surfer dudes. :)

... obviously known to most everyone. He joined with the woman and they danced together for a while. The man's motions were fast and jerky, but with a strange grace and power. He was courting her. And apparently the judge at the edge of the stage. He danced with the woman for under 5 minutes, then bowed to her and exited the stage. He was soon replaced by another man. It was a competition. A male ...
