This is a few days ago now, so just writing it briefly to fill the gap.
Having a couple of Parecetamol before I went to sleep last night obviously worked wonders, I miraculously didn't wake up with a hangover when I got up about 8:30am. Everyone was just bumming around and not keen do to much apart from Charlie and I. We had breakfast and decided to head off for a surf at Green Bowl.
After a standard scooter ride there topped off with seeing about 30 monkeys on the road at we got to the break, we were stoked to see peeerfect 2-3ft right handers peeling along down the reef at low tide. All excited to get good waves with just a few guys out we rang down the 100s of steps like excited little children.
We surfed for a couple of hours until it started to get busy, and I had the best surf I'd had in AGES. They were really nice racey little waves, and I got some great practise doing proper top turns and throwing some spray out the back of the waves. Charlie got some really nice ones too, so when we got out we were both really pleased with ourselves. Climbing back up the steps seemed like really hard work in the midday heat, but well worth it.
When we got back everyone was still just keen to bum around, so I just read my book and swam in the pool. Later in the afternoon we decided to do a snack run up to the shop up the road, so Dan, E-Man, Dave and I went off on the scooters. We got the snacks we went for and stopped at a little warong for a while then headed back, when we were stopped by the Rozzers.
They were obviously just out to make a bit of Bintang money, and had pulled us over for absolutely no reason. Only E-Man had an 'international drivers licence', so they billed Dan, Dave and I for 500,000 ($50). After much negotiation as none of us had any sort of ID on us or enough money, I slipped away and was told to come back with the money. Having got back to Leggies I had no intention of going back to be billed for another mysterious crime, and hoped the others would wangle their way out of it too...no such luck.
When they hadnt arrived back 20 mins later Charlie went off to check out the situation, and came back with Dan and E-Man. In the end Dan collected 500K and went back to pay them off.
When they all got back they were a bit peeved as we had all been cheated out of the money, but nothing we can do about it.
Later on we just chilled out, had some dinner and watched 'Game of Thrones'.
