I had a very average sleep last night, but didn't have as much of a fever as early on in the evening which was a relief. I got up about 7am feeling rough as hell, and was surprised to find a selection of energy drinks and sleeping/fever tablets on my doorstep from Win. Although I felt horrible I was hungry and had eggs on toast, which although made me full seemed to aggravate my stomach as much as helping. I went back to bed again until lunch time and just read/...

So today Saskia and the German couple got up at 4am to go and hike up the Volcano to watch the sunrise. I was absolutely gutted to be left lying in bed feeling like ass, as I had really wanted to climb it too. I considered just going and doing as much as possible, but when I sat up and my body was hurting all over I scrapped the idea. Its so annoying to have gone all the way there, to then not be able to do it! Georgie and I had some breakfast about 8am, and the...

I forgot to write on yesterdays blog that on the way back from a surf, a scooter was driven past me by a kid no older than maybe 12, with another kid who was probably only 10 on the back carrying 2 surfboards..mad!

Today we decided that we would go on a mission to Ubud, as...

So today was my 2nd full day in Bali, and 1st without a ridiculous hangover. I was first up again about 7am, and was just having breakfast (same as yesterday) when Saskia and Georgie got up. Saskia was Skyping or something, so Georgie, another guy we met called Tom and myself went to Echo Beach for a surf. The swell was about half the size today, but the reefs were still a good size on sets. In the end we opted to surf a left hand reef out the front of a cafe bui...

I'm writing this 'tomorrow' again.. I woke up still drunk, which was pretty awful. I couldn't just lay in bed feeling like that and couldn't sleep despite being exhausted, so got up and went to the beach. It was about 7am so no one else was about apart from the local fishermen and people out for an early surf. After 1.5L of water and an hour watching the world go by I went back up to the hostel for some breakfast. By this time I was post-drunk and pre-hangover s...
