Today was a pretty good day. We woke up when we had set alarms for at 7am, with all good intentions of going for an early morning surf. However when we woke up it was monsoon like torrential rain, so we put off doing anything until it slowed down By the time the rain had subsided a little and we had eaten breakfast it was about 9ish, so we saddled up on the scooters and headed off to Nusa Dua. On the way the rain reverted back to monsoon mode, and boy was I glad...

So today was the first full day with boys. We got up about 8:30-9ish and bummed around for a while just chatting and fixing E-Mans board after the reef incident yesterday. Having had breakfast we were contemplating going for a surf, but we didn't know if it would be any good and were waiting for the photo report to be posted from Nusa Dua. In the end the guys decided there was no way they were going through the reef treatment again without boots, and set off on ...

So this morning I had organised with the boys that they would come up and 'move in' with me down here at Leggies.

It was extremely humid with the heat today, and just sitting in the shade I was swearing a silly amount....

So this morning I got up at about 6ish to see off Mum and Dad. They were all packed and ready to go, so it was just a very fast sign out at reception and hop in the taxi. It was very, very weird to be saying goodbye to them again, just after it was normal to be back in their company again. This time was also that much more strange, because we were on the other side of the world and I was saying goodbye as they went home?! Anyway, as I say, they were soon in the t...

Today was on the whole a pretty chilled day, just what was needed after yesterday! We got up about 9am, had some breakfast outside our room, then Mum and I decided to go for a wander around Ubud. From the hotel/homestay we walked along around the outside of the Monkey Forest, which was really cool.
