Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Kuta December 6th 2006

I was reading about the 100km/hr winds in Ireland while at the same time trying to cope with the heat here in Bali and I was kinda happy sitting in the sun chair dripping in sweat rather than rain. So I ordered an ice cold beer for a euro and settled into my deck chair to watch a (free) movie on the big screen over the swimming pool in front of our nice hotel. I was kinda thinking I might get a massage before I headed to bed (about 2 euro) so I could sleep like a baby in our nice air-con room (e10)! Bali is quite nice but one thing really gets on your nerves after a while....and thats the numerous people thinking your are rich and that you would love to buy something they ... read more

crocodile

ollie olson

Hi people, You will be glad to here i made it back from the site of the half buried dead,that's because we didn't go because of the first rain they have had in 6 months,and there might have been too many bodies on show and a bit of a stench,nice! Instead we visited a crocodile farm,whilst there you can pay them an extra 5 pounds and they will throw a live duck in the croc pen just to see how long the duck will last ! That's entertainment Bali style. After this we went to Jatiluwih,which means "very beautiful",and this it was. Of scuba diving for the next 3 days so don't expect any blogs. jeff... read more

Hey all, Well we have now arrived in Bali - since we last wrote we have been to Phuket, Kuala Lumpur, Melaka and Singapore! Koh Phi Phi was amazing - we did a day trip and saw some amazing beaches - (see some of the last pics we put on the blog). It was so hard to find accommodation there though as it is such a popular place but we had a nice little room and it wasn't too expensive which was really lucky after having listened to other people staying there! So after a nice few days there we headed to Phuket where we had a flight booked to Kuala Lumpur. We stayed there for one night but it wasn't great - very resort-y and the beach was absolutely packed with tourists. We went out ... read more

sunset at kuta beach

Hi people, Well I managed to get on the plane despite a body being found in Arnold,delaying me be 90 mins! And then another body decided to throw theirselves on to the train line near peterboro again delaying me, I was more than a little concerned when a passenger a couple of rows in front of me started choking,but after a glass of water he carried on eating his bread snacks. Well kuta lived up to its' billing! Benidorm for the Aussies, it's actually not that busy and if you are prepared to haggle you can get a nice discount on just about anything, i've just booked a 3 day PADI course with certificate for 141 pounds,forty pounds less than book price. After 3 days in Kuta I caught the local bus to a place called ... read more

Hard Rockin' Pools

MonkeyTravel

Hello from Bali. It's like Cancun for Australians here. Beaches, clubs, shops and restaurants abound. Great seafood so far, snapper seems to be the favorite catch. Room at the Hard Rock is sub par compared to the expectations they set on their websites, but the pools are some of the best we've ever seen. One particularly disgruntlement with the hotel is the "deluxe room" we booked for $10 more a night. Turns out the only difference between their standard rooms and deluxe is access to a "VIP Pool" which no one uses and does not even have towel service. Save the $10 if you come, it will cover your food for the day. Also of note is that you can get a day pass for just the pool here for US $10. In retrospect we would ... read more

One cool waterfall, one cool looking guy

Alrighty! How are you guys? Thats good, I'm good too. It is my first blog from Indonesia (sorry if I kept anyone waiting) and for the occasion I've got a story that I think is pretty wild. Okay, I flew to Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia and everything went great. The flight was short. The lady that sat beside me didn't smell absolutely terrible. I looked out the window and saw the ocean, and as we descended I could make out some waves. It was the first time I had seen good waves, or waves at all, since I came to Asia. I was feeling fresh, and ready to surf, and party, and just have a good time. Even in the airport I felt good which is unreal because me and airports don't mix. It came time to ... read more

A view out to the sea

Have finally added my Hong Kong photos if you are interested to take a look! I will add some more photos from Bali and also some from New Zealand very soon, now that I have found an internet cafe with a good cheap connection!! Hope you are all well. Email me soon!!!! xxx In comparison to the essay on Hong Kong, there is not too much to write about Bali. This is mainly because we did very little apart from lying on the beach, lying by the pool, sleeping, reading, eating, enjoying Balinese massages. It was extremely hot, all the time, and we both managed to get sunburnt (only the second time in my life!). But it was LOVELY. Sooooo relaxing. One of the days we were there we went on a tour of various places ... read more

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!) ... read more

Our view for dinner at Jimbaran bay...that's rough!
