Not long after my blog yesteray I was taken down by a mystery illness that involved alot of vomiting and very little eating. luckily i was well by morning, just in time to make it to my dive refresher course. The morning involved a quick session in the pool and then a break for lunch before going out for our first ive back in the ocean. We went to a dive site just on the other side of Trawangan, called Halik Reef and Wall. We were down for about an hour and saw all sorts of sea life including turtles, reef sharks, and even an angry mother trigger fish who attacked us. I start my Advanced Open Water Course tomorrow. A deep water dive at 9am, a navigational dive at 1pm and then a night dive ... read more

so alles klar wieder bei mir hab mir die insel mal so naeher angschaut - in bingin haengengeblieben - mein surfbrett demoliert - bissl wandern gwesen - wie der irre mit moped herumgeduesst und recht a gaude ghabt.... ---------------------------------------- guesse! Bin grad etwas gebremst, hab mi verkuehlt und find daher zeit ein wenig ueber die dinge nachzudenken. Is recht laestig so unnoetig herumzuliegen aber habs wohl wiedermal ein bissl uebertrieben. S bloede is dass ma sich hier nie so sicher sein kann was es wirklich is. Daher giebts vorerst ein recht ungewohnten cocktail aus aspirin vitaminc und malariaprophylaxe. kann einem recht auf die nerven gehen im seim bungalow herumzulegen, so ganz allein grins. Na aber im ernst krank sein hier auf bali macht wirklich keinen sinn. Also hab beschlossen morgen wieder gsund zu sein -mal schaun ... read more

Our last night at Singapore was amazing as we were invited by Jon's friends Ant and Daph for a traditional BBQ. The amount of food that was cooked was more than even Jon's whole family could eat. Top quality steaks, prawns the size of my hand (Dad and Matt you would be in heaven). Thank you very much Ant and Daph. After deciding to save on some cash by sleeping at the airport (not as bad as Geneva Hutch!!!), we have arrived in Bali. The journey was only two and a half hours on the plane. Staying at a nice hotel, which is only $35 a night, and is a ten minute walk from Kuta Beach. However on this walk you will be asked about fifty times to buy a bracelet, sunglasses or fake rolex (there ... read more

Bali: Being the laid back pair that we are we were the last to get in the ques for our visas having arrived at Bali airport on the last flight for the evening. Given that it was the last flight and we were the last to have our visas processed, we were also the last to leave the airport and so were lucky to catch the last lone taxi driver who was kind enough to drive us all around Kuta looking for a place to stay (being so laid back we hadn't booked anywhere to stay!!). Unfortunately it was a public holiday in Bali and many places were fully booked but eventually we ended up in the Malasti Resort just outside of Kuta, a lovely place. The following day was Dani's birthday so Rach kitted out ... read more

Kaixo Danoi! Balitik berriro, Kutatik konkretuki. Aurrekoan esan bezala hemen ez dugu aparteko gauzarik egiten, ondo gozaldu, surfa egin, nahi dugun tokian bazkaldu, siestak, irakurri, surfa berriro (Ibaik nik baino gehigao, nahiko alper nabil, jeje), berreiro ederto afaldu, pelikulak pantaila handian ikusi eta ohera. Ondoko hondartzetara joaten gara gure motorrinoan, Changu, Balangan, Dreamland, Uluwatu (hemen ez gara bainatzen, jeje)... Egia esan ez gara hurrun joaten. Atzokoa izan zen irkan egin dugun irteera bakarra: sumendi batera igo ginen. Sumendi piloa dago Indonesian, Javako irlan are gehiago eta hemen Balin famatuak bi, guk igo genuena eta 3000m ko beste bat. Kontua da 3000m koa sakratuena dela eta egun hauetan zerbait ospatzen ari direnez ezin dela bertara igo. Lombok ere, ondoko irla oso polita omen da eta bertara joateko asmua genuen, Gili irletara ere... baina oso gustor... read more
