Anantara Seminyak Bali

... because he reminded me of an old man – a fat old man. But I
stayed at a respectful distance.

Ok I'm going to put this out there –
it's not pc but it's our blog so who cares. The temple was dirty –
for one of the most holy temple sites supposedly in Bali there was
trash everywhere and although tourists might be responsible for some
of it – we saw locals dropping stuff. Granted there are not a lot
of trash cans in Bali in general but it's ...

... they really like Fat Yogi's, and it hadn't dawned on them that getting extra tests at a hospital may not be a good thing. When questioned on it, Michael just gave us the "glass is half full" optimistic lecture; · Some things are the same the world over. Tracy, being the kind hearted person she is, helped a young girl by answering her holiday questionnaire. The following morning, we received a phone call (and we didn't even know we had a phone in the ...

Selamat pagi lagi, How are all of you?? Have to say my trip home was just amazing thanks to most of you lot and the lazy buggers who can't be bothered to log in to read this gibberish! Figured it was probably time to update you all on how the bits of the trip 'not UK based' went... Can not be bothered to drivel on about 'UK based' activities, (especially since if I complained as much about what went on at home as I did away some of you would probably deck me) sorry. The ...

... so cleanly that I decided to save them to send back home. I know they don't stand a chance of growing outside in Canada, but I think it will be cool if I manage to grow them in some type of indoor environment. Although we have been traveling around Indonesia for over a month now, I have only seen this fruit once so I suspect not many people back home have heard of it (mind you, we eat out every day and don't go to grocery stores much.) Although when we first arrived ...

... this place... It is one of the best villas I have ever seen and it's location so close to everything, I mean you just do not find this kind of a place in Bali any more.... etc etc. It is a little out of the price range you e-mailed but I think we might be able to convince you' 'It is a little rundown but they will fix all that up before you move in' 'Those cracks in the walls... the foundations are ****ed but your not buying the place right? A bit f paint will hide all of that in no ...

... slightly out of town. The stage was beautiful as it was outside in a garden, and all lit up. It was very intimate with only 30 people watching (I think most people go to the more expensive performance at the palace). The show was excellent, especially the main dance - the Legong, and the outfits to die for! There were five other dances, the last and most interesting being a masked dancer depicting a demonic male with really long fingernails - a bit like the child catcher in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!

... daily flight. We just made it. And we have to reconfirm or they'll drop us. On a phone we may or may not have, to a number that may or may not work, at an office that may or may not exist. And they doubled the price and charged us $25 for insurance because they have a monopoly. This is fun. We'll keep you updated. But everything is more or less taken care of. We also ...

... their c*rs or bikes *s possible. The 5-on-*-bike record of Mumb*i is still int*ct but there were lots of 4's, whilst huge b*les of crops, cr*tes *nd cr*tes of fresh eggs *nd entire cig*rette shops were *ll being held onto the b*ck of little motorbikes with string. It w*s *lso nice to discover th*t not everybody beeping their horn *t us w*s compl*ining *bout my driving, *nd some of them were *ctu*lly beeping just to *ttr*ct our *ttention *nd s*y hello... *nd then ...

... shower, take luggage and head for Bali! We get the ferry to Bali, and we take some photos of the Bali Strait, and the Bali west coast. Bali is a small island, but our hotel is on the south east coast, 100 km away from the ferry's disembarking point. We think "no more than 1 hour". ALMOST 4 hours to get there!! But it is not important, as we feel enchanted by the beautiful views all over the way. 95%of Bali people are indhuist, and EVERY house and ...
