Al's adventures
hi to all my friends out there
well if you don't all ready know i'm in bali. its a bit late in writing a postcard i know as i only have two more days left! i want to stay more tho.
well i arrived last monday and it only took 3hrs which is quite a short journey for me!! the first thing i saw from leaving the airport was how busy it is. scooters everywhere and i don't think there are many road rules either!!
hotel paradiso i'm staying at and its not bad. the staff are really nice and do anything for you
next i thought time to check the place out.
wow how busy is kuta and legion! bikes, cars and plenty of shops.
i think it took all of about 2minutes before i was pounced on to buy something!! you can not walk down the street without being asked do ya wan transport,oakleys sexy massage,billabong etc at first i was saying no thanks but then they know you speak english. so now i don't say a word unless i do want to buy there whatever. i will be doing some shopping today i think so better be prepared with my bargaining skills!! see how many sunnys i can get for a tenner!!
first day i ended up in the pub around 2ish i think and met a fella from milton keynes paul was his name. needless to say we had a few beers which carried on late into the night. i think from monday through to thursday we smashed it in the evening.
friday we went on a tour of east bali for the day. we hired a driver and car to take us around. cost about $15 we visited 5 temples and monket rainforest! yes and the monkeys were not the only monkeys around you!! i think every temple has a market next to it!!
paul left that night to go to australia and the fool left his suit that he had made in thailand in my hotel. so i said i would take it back to oz with me.
friday was catch up on sleep for me
saturday went out and had a really nice meal even tho i was alone the food made up for it. after went to the bounty bar where i met 3 ozzie dudes. we watched the germany v sweden game. what a game the germans all over them!! the next night was england. come on the lads you can do it.
every one knows beckham or rooney ouy here. i bought myself a moody shirt with rooney on the back!!
monday i met an ozzie girl at the pool,naomi. we went out had dinner and then got pissed afterwards. something about the ozzies and english,we like good old drink but i must say we are better at it!!!
wednesday i went to tulamben,3hrs north of kuta. there is a dive site there. left early in the morning 7am,man that was hard!! finally got there and straight into it. first dive 22m to the wreck. i have never seen anything like. the amount of coral around the ship. absolutely amazing! still has the gun turret attached to it. it was sunk in ww2 by the japs,o yeh its the us liberty ship. saw a school of baracuda aswell
next dive after lunch was a coral dropoff wall. dived from the beach towards the wall. again i loved it. saw some great colourfull fish,a school of jack fish which we swam into the middle of and were swimming around us,saw a lionfish, a single baracuda which tunas my dive buddie scared away! but the best part as we swimming in the reef going back towards the beach was the site of a reef shark!!! it was about 1.5m in length man that was arsome!! that topped the day off.
so two more days and back to oz. so its time to shop a little and get as much peter pan and bintang as i can possible get!!
catch ya layer
