White Rose Kuta

... the street into the Chelsey and Kevin like accomidations aka no pool, lumpy bed, cold showers...oh the life. Seeing as we didn't want to spend any extra time at our new place we headed straight to the beach. After soaking up the rays on the beach we decided to head back to our new place. Seeing the horse drawn carriages we can all guess what happened next. After the ride around town and again starting our walk back we now had to stop at the dress store...boy it just doesn't ...

... for dinner. Lucky we couldn&#8217;t afford to eat at the Nikko so I figure I can do a little catching up! The kids get a little too used to ordering on demand though. By the end of our stay they are ordering themselves cups of tea and bowls of scrambled eggs without me even knowing. We could all get used to this! <br><br>Made takes us around to look at some land that is for sale and for a few days we fantasize about owning our own piece of paradise. Luckily ...

... traffic, but what can you do. One day I drove to Denpasar to see a festival in arts centre. It is held only once a year and it's a big deal for locals. I saw some kid singers performance in totally crowded amphitheater. Later on I transferred to Tanah Lot, probably the most famous of Bali's temples. It's supposed to be magical at sunset time, but due to clouds and hordes of locals I got nothing of it.<br>After three days in Kuta I was pleased to leave...<br><br>

... il etait pas tout neuf son taxi et il a fallu le pousser une fois pour l'aider a demarrer...<br><br>on decouvre sur le chemin, un paysage verdoyant, luxuriant, un urbanisme assez respectueux de la tradition et des visages souriants. Le tout nous donne une premiere image assez idilyque de Bali. <br><br>c'est difficile de comparer avec l'Inde que l'on vient de quitter mais on est de suite beaucoup plus charmer par Bali. <br>entre eric et moi, les ressentis a ce ...

... restaurant ever!!!! The food was amazing. Kaz had heard of this place before so we made some reservations to ensure we could get in. While making these reservations I might of told them a little lie to ensure we got a good table. I kinda mentioned it was Kaz's 30th birthday (it wasn't). It did the job and we got a great table and excellent service. They even brought out a cake at the end ...

... large main island called Lombak, &amp; just off its northwest coast there are a group of 3 small tropical islands called the Gili Islands - Gili means "Small Islands" in Indonesian, so its kind of a redundant name. But nonetheless, we had high hopes for the islands, &amp; it definitely delivered. Enough so that they deserve their own entry! Stay tuned...I promise I'll get that one up quicker than I did this one! Merry Belated Christmas &amp; HAPPY NEW YEAR to everybody back home!

... and then we'd just swan our merry ways out and onto the next bar, it didnt work in every bar but in one place called paddy's we managed to score a free cocktail for all 6 of us. All in all, messy! A couple more days in kuta repeating the birthday night out was enough for me i think, tis a really built up tourist area, perhaps overly so when your there for a period of time, so i consulted my handy backpacker bible and came across a place ...

... shells was lit in the middle of the floor, and, accompanied by further Kechaking, a bloke with a hobby-horse danced through the flames. Barefoot. Then he hoofed the burning husks across the floor and proceeded to leap around in the embers. A chap with a badly fire-damaged broom followed him about, sweeping the fire back together, whereupon horsey boy would stamp barefoot through it and boot it all back across the stage. It ended with this rather unhinged looking bloke ...

... ja surffarit tykkaa paikasta erityisesti. Lembongan ei oo mikaan hirveen iso paikka, pieni kalastajakylanen jossa on turisteille joka kalliit resortit sataman oikeella puolella tai reppureissaajien vaihtoehdot vasemmalla. Auringonottorantaa ei juurikaan oo ja rannat on taynna kalastusveneita. Siks oltiin vahan pettyneita kun paikkaa on mainostettu niin hienoks. Parhaimmat naurut saatiin kun mentiin kavelylle ekana iltana ja kuultiin viidakon keskelta ...
