... paranoid about aeroplane air circulation increasing the chances of getting ill? Weird. We arrived at Bali (Denpasar) Airport around lunchtime, though despite its name the airport isn't even in Denpasar. Still sporting my green-stained pantaloons I went through immigration, bought a visa for US$25, and then had it stamped in an uncannily rhythmic I'm-also-a-drummer-don't-you-know fashion by the bored guy behind the desk. I then spent five minutes waiting in vain at the luggage ...

Yippe Kay-yay,

Second half of Indonesia up, let's kick it. So after Gili Air we hit Meno and that was a really quiet little place and we only stayed the one night. We snorkelled from the beach during the day and saw a sea turtle, sweet. The place we were staying was basic as hell, in fact there was no shower, just a bucket full of salty water to use, so, um yeah loverly. Next day we hit Gili Trawangan known as the party Island and due to our good ...

... kreischend zusammen und warfen sich in ihre eingeübten Gruppenfoto- Posen, so dass von mir nur ein klitzeklein** grinsend** Kopf am hint**en Bildrand übrigblieb. Ich kann euch ein paar Bild** davon zeigen.

Pandagaran ist eine ähnliche Sensation nahe Jogja, eine Parkanlage mit wund**schönen hoch aufschießenden hinduistischen Tempeln aus dem 8. Jahrhund**t, die auf meinen Fotos im Gegenlicht fast wie gotische Kathedralen aussehen.

... where we can live in a bungalow for 2 quid a night, eat fresh fish, snorkel & relax. First night - we decide to go for a walk & end up in the pitch black woods on the island., walking through mud, then we are chased by a cow, with Zain screaming like he is being killed. Hilarious! We went snorkeling with a local we have named Monkey Feet. For 4 hours we check out the great marine life & watch monkey feet spear fish. We also swam with our first ...

... a dramatic effect and usually packed with people during sundown. And i need to mention of course the waves.... on which bali is known for... it's just awesome.. Must TRY: grilled boiled corn with butter!! Must BUY: slippers... it's cheaper in Tanah Lot than in other places. I had a list with me of the shoe sizes of our friends and relatives. We already mastered the conversion rate to make it easier for us to haggle for cheaper prices. TIP: always haggle.... but ...

... part (for those of you that know me, I did have a positive attitude for the ENTIRE trip, minus this part.) But we made it to another nice stopping point for the sunrise, and it was amazing watching the sun come up over the clouds. At this point Jason realizes that we will be walking around the rim. He and Alison are afraid of heights and get vertigo. We make it a bit further around and our guide points out some thermo-vents with hot steam coming from ...

... awesome surf break. The waves were giant. We enjoyed watching some really good surfers. Ali also recommended this one restaurant in Uluwatu with amazing banana milkshakes (called 'Happy Monkeys') and really good chocolate cake. We definitely didn't spend nearly enough time in Bali and I really want to go back!

... Asian) style. Found the spot the guys had described, but it was closed so went next door and grabbed dinner there. It was another great meal - an Indonesian dish and Sherry had prawns. Num Num...stayed for a few beers there, then decided to take a cab back instead of walking. We had a couple night caps out by the pool, then headed in for the night. Guys went out to meet Jim at a different bar. Slept like a baby which was surprising cause there were a few folks out partying ...
