Arrived in Kuta today
Entry 36 of 83 | show all | print this entry |
Today was just a travel and errands day. I took a 9am shuttle from Lovina to Kuta, and shared the ride with a nice couple from England that have been traveling for a few months as well. They were just in Thailand and Cambodia so I picked their brains for good spots to hit.
The more I lean of it, the more I think I want to take a side trip from my planed route to Cambodia to see Ankor Wat. All I've heard from travelers is it's a must see. So maybe I must!
I had a little trouble getting settled into a hotel when I arrived here in Kuta. I was planning to stay at the same resort that Sha and her friends are at, but when I arrived it was all booked, as were the next 5 we stopped at. Odd, because every place I've been so far has been so sparse with tourists, but they tell be it's because of Easter weekend. So I found a nice hotel about 2 miles up the road from where Sha is, and I rented a motorbike for the week. Problem solved.
I think I'll be in Kuta for 6 days, I'd really like to see Tanah Lot Temple and Uluwatu Temple as well. The latter has a Gamelan show performed in front of it, not unlike the Lotus Temple in Ubud did. We'll see if Sha and anyone else is interested, if not I've got a motorbike and they aren't that far!
Where I stayed:
Villa Bunga

It happened again!! (reply) Mar 19, 2008 17:15 EST by dadsp
Susan, Yesterday (Tuesday, March 18) I heard some interesting music on my satellite radio. It was exotic, magical and far eastern. The band was 'Yes' from the 70s and the title was 'Angkor Wat.' It reminded me of a course I took way back in college, the prof had a friend who was in Cambodia 'discovering' the ruins and was sending pictures back for us to see. It was a very moving experience. Since ... show all
