Hotel Kumala Pantai Kuta

... br><br>Monday we laid by the pool, ran errands, ate at Eddy's and later met some of the Australians for dinner before they flew home for Australia. After dinner, we met up with Jorge and Daniel and their group for a while. Jorge was finally reunited with his Swedish girlfriend and we chatted with her for a while as well. Tuesday after lunch we boarded the bus to Ubud, the cultural capital of Bali. Although we had an amazing week in Kuta, we were very excited for a change of scenery. <br><br>

... Really!!!? Sounds interesting!!!! 3800 metres high, oh a challenge!

... a couple of hours later I thought I was going to die!!! By the time we got to our gaff I was on my hands and knees with pain and aches all through my body...nothing I have ever experienced before and never want to again. The next day the pain shifted to my stomach and I'm not kidding when I say I had to go to the toilet around 60 times that day.

... rd btw) I found a nice little family operation who were willing to give me a twin room bungalow with breakfast for 4 euros. Needless to say I didn´t make a fuss when it turned out it was only a cold water shower. Life in Ubud is sedate, with many tourists shopping, lounging, dining, and shopping again and with locals working slowly and steadily at their days tasks. My host seemed to spend a ...

As was by now routine, we had run down our currency so as not to have to change it, so Kirsty had to go back outside to the only ATM, then come back in through the metal detectors and bag scanners again. After departure tax, there was the standard going-through-security thing that every airport has to get airside. We poked around duty-free for a bit, wondering how to ...

Planen videre var aa ta en rundtur paa oya, saa til forste etappe over fjellet leide vi en kombinert sjaafor og guide. Han tok oss med paa smaa lokalveier saa vi fikk see ting litt utenom turistruta. Kom ut for et tre som hadde falt over veien saa det ble serios bush-tur et stykke. Stoppet ved noen templer (Nesten hver familie har eget ...

Asia - Highlights <br>*The friends made and the fun had in Asia are first to stand out in my mind. I met and traveled with some truly exceptional people whom I hope to remain in contact with for years to come. I can't list everyone, but have to call out Ruud, Moshe and the Vang Vieng crew. My couch will always be ready if any of you make it to The States. <br> <br>*Angkor Wat has to be the single most impressive man ...
