Gem & Kate go Globel
Hey guys!!
Well we are on the final leg of our journey - beautiful Bali.
Before we got here we were in Auckland, N.Z with our matey Stef, and it was such a welcome place to stay.
It had been nearly 4 months since we had had a home cooked meal (Mike, the roast was a definite winner despite the oven being bust!!) and a long 4 months without our family, so being included in that for 4 days was so, so nice. THANKYOU STEF & CO!!!!!!!!
So anyways, we arrived safe and sound 5 days ago and checked into a lovely hotel in Kuta.
It's very peaceful and pretty darn cheap!! (Just as well really as we are well skint!)
We have become accustomed to the Balinese lifestyle very quickly - nothing is done in a hurry and everything is done with a smile.
The Balinese are the friendliest people. Yer they try to drag you in their shops "just to have a look" but if you say no thanks they wish you a good day and try it on with the next punter!!
The one thing they are very good at is the compliments. If we got a buck for every time they tell you you are beautiful or they have fallen in love then we would be minted!!
All in all Bali is certainly a nice place to be right now.
We are gonna have a look about the island and see what bargains we can pick up. (I am just glad gem is hear to do the haggling coz I am naff at it!!)
Things are so cheap here I feel cheeky as asking for them to drop the price, but our Gems holds her ground and gets the "best price" most of the time - someone taught her well!!
Well I must dash coz I think it's about time to have a dip in the pool and then another cocktail - like I said, we are embracing the Balinese way of life!!!
Hope you are all good - see ya real soon . . .
Kate & Gem
