Sanur Beach Hotel Bali

... which is about twenty dollars. <br><br>We we arrived at Nusa Dua seeing the price of the water sports was a bit of a shock, but lucky for us he gave it to us for 50,000 less than local price! Zac dared me to go para-sailing which is essentially flying on a parachute behind a boat. At first it was stressing for my abdomens as naturally you try to hold yourself up. However, once you relax it is very enjoyable and a spectacular view. After this we went snorkeling, we ...

... on the deck for more or less the same price! We decided to decline and what with the lack of accommodation on Trawangan, head back to Sanur instead. Luckily, our previous hotel had availability for 5 nights so after only 3 days on Gili Trawangan, we took the boat back to Bali. The crossing was really rough that afternoon and the boat was tossed around in the choppy waters so much that both of us felt really nervous. Luckily, Tracey had already taken precautions against sea ...

We woke early enough to head to the beach for a full day before having to come back for class. And of course we had to introduce Suzanna to Keremas, our black sand beach. We drove extremely slowly on the way over there; it was Suzanna's first day on the motor bike. Other drivers don't look out to anyone but themselves, something that Suzanna would have to get used to. Cars and motor bikes come from every which way, speeding and zipping in and out of ...

... on all sides. We decided to take a fast boat snorkeling tour of the other small island surrounding Koh Phi Phi. One of our stops was "the beach" where they filmed the Leonardo DiCaprio film. Just as incredible as in the film, but a tad more populated (at least 200 tourists) lol The snorkeling left much to be desired but the wave jumping in the boat all day was well worth the money! Thailand's visa was coming to an end and we ...

Well my trip is starting to near the end. Today is my last day in Bali. I go see Kate tomorrow then to Jakarta the next day then back toVan. Since the waves have been pretty bad at the beach in Kuta the last few days the school fast tracked and sent me out on a surf trip yesterday and today. We went to a weird beach called turtle island. We go through a security gate and the guard takes ...

... it's digestive track, comes out through its poop as a whole bean and it's supposed to be better tasting!! Hmmm...it's also very expensive coffee. We got to taste various coffees and teas...not the poop bean coffee though. After that, we took a downhill bike tour through rice fields, learned how they grow rice. We saw many children on our ride with big smiles on their faces all yelling "Hello, hello"... Two of the Australians on our tour had ...

... calming... to frighten the birds away, (the birds clearly ignore these attempts contemptuously but why stop doing it eh? Tradition is important!). The whole affect is so beautiful that it chills me out just walking around, god I love this place!! Can't wait for the Mango tree in my garden to start ripening!! Miss you all of course and will write soon about school! The education adventure is about to begin, Yay for working in paradise! Ixxx

... I could barely move my toes. The guy from our guest house called for a doctor and soon enough the very swish all-singing, all-dancing 'mobile clinic/Batmobile' turned up. The lovely young doctor took a look and diagnosed a scorpion sting! Now THAT'S a tropical travelling injury - all them ****** worms/parasites in my back... ha, you can get them anywhere! She then told us that we didn't need to go to her surgery - she would be removing the sting there and then on the porch ...

... la presque totalite de nos provisions de fruits. Par contre, les femmes et les plus petits singes sont vraiment adorables. L'un d'entre eux a d'aillers savoure son rabatane sur l'epaule de Mat. Cela dit, notre sejour dans ce charmant village a ete vraiment formidable. Ubud est un endroit que nous vous recommandons. Il est temps pour nous de reprendre la route; direction Lovina en passant voir les lacs et montagnes a Bedugul...
