Surfs up

After waving our friends off, we headed to the beach. The sun was shining and the waves the perfect size for us! We tried out our body boards and they were great fun, enabling us to catch many exhilarating rides. Whilst 'hanging out' for the next wave, we watched many experienced surfers catch a boat ride out to a more dangerous surf break over the reef.

Lunch was amazing, thanks to a very attentive restaurant owner. We shall certainly go back and eat in that little restaurant again.

After lunch we thought we had better stock up on fruit. We bought a kilo of some very interesting fruit, but have on idea what they are called. They taste great, have a large hard stone, white flesh and a brown outer skin like a lizard! Just in case we got hungry, we stocked up on donuts too...

After a short rest in the afternoon, we ventured into the heart of Kuta. There are many surf shops, lots of Australian holiday makers and traffic! We investigated a few travel options before settling down to dinner. Indonesian food is really nice, so we tucked in to a plate of gado gado, which was quite spicy! We treated ourselves to an ice cream on the way home which was an easy 10 minute walk through a few dark backstreets.
