Routine

It is very easy in Bali to relax and do very little! We have settled into a routine. Eat ... Surf ... Eat ...Sleep!

First thing this morning we made it out in time to visit 'The Breakfast Lady'. Our next stop was to arrange our tickets to a small island off the coast of Bali called Nusa Lembongan. It is supposed to be a nice place to stay, especially when the day trippers have gone home.

Surfing was fun today and maybe a little easier than yesterday. Some nice rides and not too many wipeouts! Whilst we sat at the beach some teenagers kept looking up at a tree. One of them started to climb but we weren't sure why?! Another climbed the next tree but this time pulled his t-shirt up, over his face?! We think they were looking for honey and were trying not to get stung by the bees!

In evening we chatted to a local girl and her family. She has been so friendly and has helped us try many different foods over the last few days. Tonight was a snack from Java that was made with potatoes, fish balls, pastry things and a delicious peanut sauce with hot chilli. We wondered why we kept bumping into her and today found out, her house is directly behind the 'breakfast lady's' stall! Today, we even tried Pocari 'Sweat', a drink that has popped up all around Asia. It tastes a lot better than it sounds and is Isotonic, so the store owner tells me. Where did he learn a word like that!?!
