MAN i am sweating my nadgers off here!
So howdy from Kuta Bali, may i just point out i am in probably the most touristy part of Bali possible. Its Aussies version of a cheap Vegas to say the least. Our hotels right in the middle of all the nightlife, and boy did we have a big one the other night! But i did manage to escape the "poor excuse of Bali" today to visit the sea temples. Leaving my throughly travelled out buddy in bed i took an hours drive with a nice Balinese man to see the incredible sights. At one point during my walk along the shore of the temples, i manage to find a secluded spot with no tourists around me, just the crashing of the waves and little crabs running along the big rocks next to me. Now THAT for me I will treasure as Bali. Kutas not exactly the place to get all Eat Pray Love on people here. For starters i wouldnt even rent a bicycle as most the roads here are filled with scooters and cars only id fear for my life. Secondly Kuta is what the Perths call there second home. Everyone here is from Perth, i met two norweigan guys last night and almost died of shock. For starters one of them was wearing a liverpool shirt so you can imagine the endless banter i had with him!
Been watching a lot of english football here too, funny how i didnt care much for it at home, but as soon as a games on here, im mesmirised. Maybe its just something from keeping me less homesick or maybe im just turning into a raging lesbian?! who knows...
our hotel is known as the "party hotel" of the island, and let me assure you. It is. Im finding it very hard not to have a whiskey with my morning breakfast in Kuta...
We were going to spend a couple of days elsewhere to appreciate more of Bali, but I think were fairly travelled out. The temples were enough for me to have my peaceful Bali fix. To know there is more to Bali than cheap whiskey and Perth boys was enough to keep me happy! Potentially doing a tour but probably doing it by my lonesome as my travelling buddys a bit fed up of moving around bless her. I dont blame her to be fair it is SWEATY out here, and i love nothing more than arriving back from the temples to just dive in the pool and stay there till the sun goes down. Luckily for us we have a 24 hour pool bar so why go anywhere else aye? ;)
But I could like to see more Bali sights if the pennies allow me, as i remind myself constantly Im probably only going to do this once in my life, so might as well make the most of it!
that'll do for now. Im sweaty and i need a foot massage.
CYARRR! xxx
