... the previous day.

After a quick look around town we quickly realized how the streets work: no lights, no speed limits, no rules, everything goes as long as you honk, not long but often.

Day 2: Taking advantage of the tremendously long beach front we decided to attempt a run in the morning. Kevin quickly found out that he was the weaker of the two and will have some work to catch up. After our "run" we took advantage of the pool we forced into getting before moving ...

Ah Jabreki! We know what we are in for as we dropped in and checked the place out when we were staying at Lynnies. In fact we checked out as many of the villas as we could get in to and Jabreki is our pick of the bunch.

... All the cheappies were full and I ended up walking around the town for several hours. No success. I had to go for higher standard. Anyway, it was an interesting walk. I met Italian dad and son in the same situation (btw. from the same plane) who went for romantic standard and spent a night on the beach. Then I met a ladyboy who started touching me before I managed to answer the question what I was looking for and another ladyboy somewhere else offered me to ...

Isabelle, ma soeur, qui est en vacance pour 15 jours, est venue nous chercher a l'aeroport. cela fait du bien apres plus de 2 mois de revoir un visage familier.

We decided we wanted to save some money and since we were still hanging out with our friend Angie from Scotland, we rented a jeep. The cheapest car you can rent is a beat up pick up jeep with the drivers seat on the right side of the car and the gear shift on the drivers left side. Despite my still being sick, it turned out I was the best candidate for ...

... for the smaller ones and adults for the larger ones to well no sound, just the rhythm of their own faith I suppose you could say. This went on till just after midnight upon which time we were literally herded back towards Poppies II and our hostel. Nyepi day was spent by myself, Jeff, a couple of Canadians and a rowdy gang of Egyptian fella's playing cards (in a non entertaining way of course), lounging by the pool and having a fair few drinks, not the most exciting day in ...

... into some amazing dance forms like Kecak and Legong. Kecak is a monkey chant dance that tells the story of Ramayana. The Legong is a beautiful intricate and stylish dance performed by young Balinese girls that can tell a story from the Mahabharata. Another interesting dance form is Barong which depicts the eternal struggle between good (a lion-headed dragon) and evil (a monster). The characters of Ramayana and Mahabharata are widely popular.

... bartering too,which, to start with, we found difficult and slightly intimidating. Sorry, this sounds like a list - David has written fully in flowing prose with all the details - not sure who he is going to send it to....! We are back now (to our own home paradise) and trying to sort through the 260 photos we took - promise not to download too many! You HAVE to come and visit Bali with us one day....I am sure you would all love it too. lotsaluvmexxx

... fault...so why bother. A car and driver can be hired for between 30 and 35 dollars a day...and all you have to do is sit and look out the window - my favorite. So not only are you contributing to the local economy but it's way less stressful for you...plus they know the roads, where to go, and tell you all sorts of stuff about Bali as you travel. Dewa is delightful and enthusiastic...his English is OK but his gentle nature and ...
