World Travelling with Mark And Lilly
selamat sore! good afternoon from Bali.
last week after two days in Kuta we found aaron (friend from Perranporth doing a trip around the world too) on kuta beach after having surfed the reef. we went out for dinners the two nights after and had to say good bye again. we followed their advice to go to Medewi and did a deal with a driver to be dropped at Medewi beach, a 2 hour trip to a nice reef left hander far away from noisy Kuta. Our driver asked us to go and listen to s***ty timeshare hotel holiday so he could receive money that way and give us a much cheaper ride. arriving in the hotel for the talk we never expected our host to be english... what a nightmare, we had to fool him and enter a category (for our poor indonesian driver to receive his money) so mark had to say we had been married for 4 years, claimed he was a teacher.... and rich.... very funny, he talked to us for more than an hour.... mark was so good at bending the truth that we were the best couple eligible for the holiday timeshare package!!! very hard to get out of it but we managed to leave!!!
the next day we went to Medewi, a dark sand beach with big boulders. we surfed everyday although the surf was a bit slack and sometimes small. we treated ourselves and stayed in beautiful bamboo bungalows overlooking the beach for 4 nights. food was dead cheap and delicious. I could not help myself from drinking smoothies everyday!
we came back last night and bought flights to Medan the capital of sumatra. a long and adventurous trip is awaiting us. we have to go to the harbour of sibolga there to go to Nias and have been told it is a bit dangerous, so i better learn Indonesian quickly!!!!! please Jock and Norton we know you have been there, can you give us a few info!!
In sumatra we plan to go and see orang outans and a beautiful lakes. see ya!
