Puri Raja Beach Resort Kuta

... said you could stand’ he asked with raised eyebrows as I fell off my board for the umpteenth time. I explained that I had been able to and then gave a little lesson in the basics of the past tense as wave after wave crashed over and I struggled not to inhale half the Indian ocean. Towards the end of the first half I was beginning to get back in the swing of things but I still spent more time under waves than on top of them so there was a long way to go. We crawled back up the ...

... husband-wife duo able to cook each plate in such a timely manner with such perfection and in such a small space? The day my Indonesian Cooking Skills are at this level is the day I open my own restaurant cafe (so help me God). But no worries, it seems pretty far-fetched that I will ever be able to get the perfect consistency for black rice pudding...our recipe is all an approximation of amounts anyways...or be able to remember exactly how to roll the fish in the banana leaves ...

... experience most people have of Asia. People drive like mentals. Scooters and Motorbikes drive on both sides, in any direction, with whole families on the bikes. Cars beep everyone and everything, which I later found out they do as a warning that they are there. Add to this mix a bunch of Chickens and Cows on the road, and you have yourself a hella of an introduction to Bali. I loved it. Hot, humid, busy, chaotic. An assault on every sense ...

... Gili Islands and waited until the rain subsided before heading home. By then, it was clear that the rain had cleared up for the day and we could still go to the beach. We would just wait till Miryam and Ed's class was over before we left. The beach was like usual: the waves were strong and fierce, the jaffles and fruit juice were amazing, the sun beat down on us hot. The only difference was that the cool breeze touched the black sand, for once making it bearable to walk ...

... in a large common area with other dogs, mobbing the volunteer staff in pursuit of affection. Makes you want to take them all home. But I could not honestly post those pics without posting the photo of the dog in a cage with no back legs. The shelter took him in after someone had purposefully cut them off. So the photos of the playful pups would be a dishonest representation without ...

... big waves, but I did get up on a few.

So I'm enjoying my time in Bali, even though I'm on my own. I'm considering heading to Amed maybe tomorrow or the next day. Kuta is really touristy, and Amed is a little more low key. I've been surfing here a lot. I got up some more - on my own this time - on the big waves. I still need to get the hang of it though. But I do have until the 9th!

In the meantime, I'm enjoying my time in the sun.

... dashed out the door and down the stairs, hoping to make it in time. It's been rough. One day during class, I was just about ready to rush to the bathroom, as there was definite movement in the stomach region, when the teacher chose me to demonstrate a backbending posture for the class. What an awful experience! I was trying to comply and be a good student, while squeezing my cheeks, holding my breath, and praying that nothing would ...

... forward and wanted to show us her own paintings in a child's sketch block. Colourful pastel drawings of her friends, mountains and houses greeted us. I did the dutiful thing and said they were beautiful. When she said, 'Would you like to buy?' I said no, thank you and quickly gave them back. Ketut sat down in front of us, pulled out 'Eat, Pray, Love' from a chest and asked if I'd read the book. 'So what does Liz say about me in the book?' His English was not good enough to read so I ...
