... toys the kids had seen in the souveneir shop...but sadly this shop did not sell toys at all. We did get a few things, such as a shoulder bag for $2.40 NZ and an outfit for khaila , only $1.80.I will be back.This shop was huge and for the locals.Thanks Harri, you showed us where to find the local prices...and how to help get some sales for your friends



Today we decided to take the kids to one of the many Monkey forests, dotted ...

... with fine clouds, really beautiful. I briefly met a guy called John from England also, but he went off and then I didn't see him again (oh well!). In the evening I went into a bar which had some cool live music and met these nice guys, a local Bali guy and a norwegian girl, we chatted for a while and then went off to chill out at their place, at about 1am everyone was pretty tired so I said farewell and went off to bed.

... major feat as you are following a map that shows a straight road but while driving on said road you come to a "T" in the road and no signage. It was cooler and a bit misty near the top of the mountain pass, and quite a windy steep road on the way down the other side. Our jeep is a very low frill kind with A/C but no not other creature comforts.

As you ...

... at the pool which was very nice and ate some nice food in an authentic Bali place - well, kind of Authentic but the food was VERY nice - I ate some Tuna and it was fantastic. We had a nice beach walk and another early night with some beers in the room as there was no one in any of the restaurants or bars. Dissapointing. We ate another nice continental breakfast in the morning and got out of average Lovina towards Amed.

... my little friends left. They weren't there to bother me, not in the least. They were just intrigued by a foreigner and wanted to play. Our taxi ride came to pick us up at 2... actually he was even a little early! I think taxi rides are the one thing that work on normal regular time and not Bali time here. Our driver first drove us to GitGit, Bali's largest waterfall! We walked on a concrete stone path the 15-minute walk to the head of the 200 foot waterfall and looked ...

... they were doing. Day 24: I must say, for $25 / night you get a palace of a hotel over here. We totally slept in today. Went down to the restaurant and had a great breakfast, then headed down to the beach. Along the way there are tonnes of gift shops and the sell techniques are a lot different than home. We met a seemingly nice group of girls asking where we were from, etc. We were persuaded to look in their store at their many ...

... have been awake for hours and they're great as always...full of energy and the sunrise is spectacular...but the most amusing part is the crowd of spider boats out there loaded up with tourists circling the dolphin family, probably disturbing their rest time and interrupting some critical life cycle. Myself, I can hardly keep my eyes open...the Benadryl is still making me sluggish and sleepy....my goal is to keep my butt in the boat and not nod off and fall over ...

... sol sol og regn. ( Det er etter det vi har forstaat etter vert regntid paa Bali) Gili T har ingen motorisert transport, bare sykler og hestevogner, gansk kult for da slipper du mye larm. Komme rundt oya tar ca 1 time paa sykkel....... Her bor vi som konger i en 2 etg Bungallov med 4 sove plasser, stor terasse med sofa (seng), med pool og morgenmat paa terassen. Naa er vi lej rolig strand saa neste stop er ...

... of communication for deaf and hearing people. Somehow, deaf people in Desa Kolok do not face the stigma that deaf people face elsewhere in Bali, and they have become equal members of the community. On Friday evening, after eating with Connie, about fifteen deaf people came, and it was really interesting to watch them communicate using Kata Kolok. I was not able to communicate with them very successfully, as Kata Kolok is not based ...

... Ok well maybe long trousers could have surficed instead of the sarrong, but who can resist dressing up. On the way out I stopped for some soup from the vendor selling to the hawkers. We had a bit of a chat. It was funny to see it from the other side as everyone gets keyed up to show their wares to the tourists trying to run the gauntlet. Today I went to two villages near Ubud with loads more ancient temples. There was a ...
