Dinner at Treehouse before a night of dancing!
Eddie, Bonnie, Sebastion, Emery, Brit, and Ashley Hello everyone! Happy Birthday Deanna! (hahaha now you're old too!)
This will be our final message from the wonderful country of Bali...as I'm sure you've understood from all of our other blogs we have enjoyed our time here completely and will be making a return appearance as soon as possible!
Once again our time in Kuta has flown by and the daily activities kinda all blur into one aother...Sat ran into Brit and Bonnie and some other people we met last time in Kuta and met a couple others...so we all went out for dinner and then played some drinking games - hilarious! and then out to the Bounty (the coolest, total tourist bar in Bali....oh and did I mention that it is actually a giant sailing ship hidden behind the other parts of the bar!) Had a fantastic night with everyone, danced till all of us looked like we had just gotten out of the pool and I even went toe to toe with the Nelly dancer (lets just say him and the girl dancer are absolutely AMAZING!) for a little dance off...the others said I fared well!? The number of cute boys in that bar at one
time on a weekend is simply everything I've dreamed, hahahaha!! On sun we met with the girls and Eddie for some surfing and Ash and I learned that surfing in the middle of the day requires one to wear the zinc (although you look like a dork)...The healing process for my lips is nearing an end today and on mon I looked like I had had lip injections! Sun night we all drove over to Jimbaran Bay for a beautiful sunset and a tasty seafood dinner...two full snappers, 4 king prawns and a bunch of rice and other stuff cost roughly $30!!!! I won't bother to say when we have been shopping because it has been continous!!! Yes we are both now sending our own box home!
I'm not quite sure what we did the next day but I'm sure it involved pooling and relaxing! That night was Bonnie and Brits last so we went to Treehouse again for dinner and played drinking games at our hotel with the Arak, bike! Huge laughs for sure! Our friend group had grown nicely and we all headed to Bounty again! wow, haven't I already heard that song?! Ash left early to
Halloween at the Bounty!!
nope I just met that guy that night and no he's not actually biting my boob...Steve we had know for a few days! get some rest before we went scuba diving and the rest of us headed to M Bar Go, another club. Around 4 we came back for a swim! 7 came pretty early but it was well worth it cause the dive sight was something else! After an hour boat ride we arrived at Nusa Penida (a small island in the south east)...here we are told that the current can get pretty strong around here and if you imagine looking at the water at the top of a spinning blender that is why we decided not to dive at our first stop! the second spot had slightly less current but Ash and I can both assure you that the only times we had to swim where when we were trying not to zoom away from out guide! The coral was massive and every colour imaginable! The fish were a number of repeats from the last dives but also many new ones! Seriously, some were over half the length of my body! We saw a blue puffer fish( huge) and I saw a turtle....trying to get Ash's attention only to realize she wont be able to see it with no glasses on...on
The boomerang!!!!
This isn't actually us but this pic shows the whole slide...we made it about a whole tube and 1/2 higher than these folks! the second dive we saw a field of fan coral that reminded me of coral terraces instead of rice terraces and a water snake. The current was something to get used to and there were even times where we would have to hid behind big mounds of coral to wait for the current to die down a bit! Around the island were fenced in areas in the water where they harvest sea weed and it was a great view of Bali the island! A well deserved nap after the dive followed but trying to get ourselves pumped for Halloween!? I dresses as a school girl cause I only had so many options with the tiny pile of clothes in the black pack and Ash wore a black dress and said she was a bat! ha ha.... The number of people dressed up was few compared to the number of people out but we did see some good costumes including: many men as women, or super/spinder/batman, Jesus was there and was totally wasted, a canadian guy represented in his tighty whities and a tummy top-HOT! WAIT....haven't they played the exact same songs as last time, in the same order and haven't we already heard these ones two other times tonight!!!??? Ash's shoe broke later into the evening so we called it a night but not till I saw some creative arm dance moves!
All our friends had left by the first and we decided a couple low key days would be perfect...watched a bunch of movies over the past couple days at local restaurants, slept in, shopped and listened to music and read! Oddly enough the past couple days have had a haze in the sky that hasnt burnt off- dont get me wrong its still hot but not direct sun hot!
Yesterday we went to waterbom (www.waterbom.com) - yes i realize that its missing a 'b' but thats the way bali works they often miss or add letters to english and reverse orders!- The water park was totally sweet! a bit expensive but FUN! there were a couple totally sweet tube rides for both of us to go on ...the boomerang-we made it to the 2nd top line numerous times!!- and there were also some cool drop slides and one that you go down on a board on your stomach! Today the plan is to pool, surf, sunset, massage, dinner and then go dancing! Sounds like a rough on hey!? Tomorrow we are packing our boxes of too much stuff and hopefully going surfing one more time and taking some scoot scoot taxis to Tanah lot, one last temple that is apparently amazing at sunset! ...We leave early Sun morning for 'Bangkok, Oriental City"! Another adventure begins...
seen on a scooter:
- man, tv (at least 27in), man
- man, huge ass branch, man ... it actually extended quite far behind the bike!
- man, man, ladder (vertically held)
- child, child, man, child, baby in sling with mom
- child, child, man, child, child, child
that's right 6 people on one scooter!
Massage tally: 6 with one more coming tonight!
Anyways hope everyone is great and surviving school/work/life/etc with style!
Miss you all and love you too!
Jen and Ashley
