We must have been tired from the last few days of travel as we woke up rather later than usual.
Breakfast was amazing value at a small street stall just down the road from our homestay. After filling our boots, we grabbed our boogie boards and hit the surf. The surf was great and the sand very forgiving when we wiped out! Christine did a great job of entertaining the crowds but you will have to ask her about her amazing new party trick ...
After leaving the beach, we headed home to clean up. We then took a different route to the centre of Kuta via the 'chicken Satay man' and 'donut shop'. We spent time browsing but when darkness fell, went for dinner at a central restautant, that was packed.
It is quite a walk to return to our homestay but our journey was brightened up by the sight of a Balinese procession. Barong, a half dog, half lion in Balinese dance, seemed to be hidden amongst the crowd. Maybe they had been dancing at one of the beach hotels? Unfortunately,the picture below came out a little blurry!
After fending off the notorious timeshare touts, shop owners and tour company salesmen ... we arrived back at our road which has a very authentic sounding Balinese name, Gang (road) King Kong!!
