... and then
escorted me back..brilliant! The government must be very proud of their efforts to keep Bali safe. there is a security guard for each 10 people now! They are stationed everywhere!

We flagged a taxi down after paying, and I swear it took less than 5 seconds! He tried to charge us $100,000 but I explained we had already had a taxi to the hotel we would not pay more than the $50,000 we had paid previously.It worked...he knew he couldn't win ...

... Around 6.30pm the sun headed for the ocean, and the ensuing sunset was absolutely beautiful, lighting up the water all the way to the shore with a golden glow before slipping beyond the horizon.

In the evening I went out for dinner at a bar a few minutes from the hostel. It was pretty ****, and sparsely populated by chavs and ugly people. I finished my meal quickly and left, ruing my erroneous decision to dine there based solely and lazily on proximity to my residence.

... so so cold, never dived in water that chilly, some body parts shrank til they damn near disappeared. The second dive was to see Mola Mola, which are these whacking great fish, 3-4 metres fin to fin. Unfortunately we didn't see them but there was still plenty of cool stuff in the reef, but gutted to have missed the big boys. In the evening we went to dinner in a restaurant filled with lairy Aussie surf dudes, it was ok but I must have been ****** cos when ...

... but I figured it was necessary to make a stop there at least! It's a bit of an awful place, sort of like Surfer's Paradise in Australia...except even more intense! and I had a good tour guide for it, Brian, an Aussie who seems to strangely love the place.

... amp; clive had suggested it, but other people did not seem to want us to,very strange, glad we did, it is a very busy town with a brilliant market, we bought a few things & bartered for them, in actual fact it is them whom ask you to barter, they seem to enjoy as much as you, called in at their famous bird park which they are very pround of, the birds are phoniminal they have such vibriant colours, we came back to the car & jem told us to go back ...

After a week of wonderful environment, scuba diving and relaxing we decided to go back to Kuta Bali. In Gilli T. we met up with new friendly people all around the wide world. The relaxed atmosphere there was really wonderful. The only problem we had was that it was the time of Ramadan. So that mean that at 4 am to 7am a priest is praying very loud. The positive thing of this period is that during this time there isn't that much tourism over there. I also have done my ...

... I use it on my stomach it will cure any ailment I might have...or over my sinuses-they will be cleared...and she provides me with a sample of her massage technique...and I have to admit my neck and back are a little tight...but she's got me....So I get myself an hour massage for 50,000 rupiahs-that's about 5 dollars -for an hour. Crazy, no? I also buy some of the coconut oil because I'm sure ill find some ailment to treat...plus it's ...

... including: - Your average "kuta cowboy" who is a teenager dressed in semi-gangsta wear with tats (translation for mom and dads - tatoos) and long hair, and big sunglasses thinking they are too cool for school and hustling everyone in sight - most importantly single white females. - The whole dang family consisting of traditionally dressed hindu and muslim indo's in their sarongs and headwear.
