Hello again!
The hostels were both really good here, the first one was more of a motel like room but it was clean so therefore good. The second place was a little nicer, but two single beds... boo! haha. And the bathroom sink is in the shower... what the? haha. but it is super clean and the breakfast sort of has a little more to it I guess... haha. But yeah, so we are heading out of Bali today to go to Lombok, which is a small indonesian island, where we are going to stay in the surfers inn in Kuta (Stephen went there) and then from there we are going to go to the Gili Islands for a little bit. We have heard there is really good scuba diving there so we are excited for that. This last week, when we were trying to sell the first surf board, we met some Indonesian friends! They are beach boys, they sell drinks and rent surf boards. They are a lot of fun. We went out with them one night, man you should see what they live in! Square rooms with a mattress! And some of them have parts of a stereo
or tv that they have managed to make work, haha. It was a fun night though (we really don't go out...). But yeah, we were walking down the beach asking all the renters if they wanted to buy it and no one wanted it! We found out how old and pretty crappy it is... and how much we got ripped off! So one of the boys gave us $10 and two beer for it... haha. Wasn't the most happy thing but we got to meet some friends and we have been hanging out at the beach with them everyday since. On our own we would have never spent this much time at the beach so it has been good. They also fixed the tip of Phil's new board for only $5 and have been letting us use their boards for a very low cost. Also one of the older guys, Jimmy, has been helping Phil and teaching him out in the water which has helped him get a little better so that has been awesome too! I am sort of glad to be leaving Bali though, we have been here for 10 days and I am ready for something new,
but I think after the Gili Islands we are going to come back here for another week or so, and we are not sure if we are going to do much of Laos, Cambodia or Vietnam because of how fast time acctually goes! So after Indonesia I think we might just slowly make our way back up through Malaysia and Spend more time in Thailand, because we realized that we really only saw Phuket, and then if we can we will go into the other countries a little bit, but we are still just going with the flow! So that is all up in the air. So a new adventure starts today!
