Bali
Been thinking about it for a while and finally, after 45 hours of flights and waiting at airports, I've made it to Bali.
I've been here for a little over 2 days now. The guy I rented a room from took me on a tour the whole day yesterday. I got to see Monkey Forest, did the Luwok (sp?) coffee plantation tour and tasting, visited a few temples and did the Holy Springs cleansing. Today I am out exploring Ubud center and just finished the Campuhan Ridge Walk. I'm chilling at Karsa Kafe with a fresh coconut staring out into the serene scenery. Thanks to you guys and especially Bimmette for the advice in the other thread and for pushing me to go. |

Even more pix.
The guy's village does wood carving so his family does it as well. I have the entire second floor to myself along with a gazebo where I chill early morning (I wake up very early and catch the sunrise) and late evening. I was walking and took a left turn, wandered around and came across a little wooden bridge and a small creek. Also stumbled on a cemetery and not knowing it until I noticed the little tombstones. Last pix is Karsa Kafe where I'm chilling as we speak. Will be having a very early dinner here too. |

My wife and I got back from Bali a little over a month ago. Getting there is the hard part...
We loved it as well. People are nice, food was great, our hotel in Legian was fantastic. Even got the bartenders to learn how to make a frappe for me. We rented a driver, and tour guide to take us to a lot of the non-tourist trap stuff. Had a great time exploring the island, surfing and watching the sunsets at different beaches. Have a blast and a Bintang for me!

Yay! Glad you're having a good time! Hope you are feeling relaxed! Yeah I'm pretty sure I told you that you don't need a lot of time in Ubud. Go check out the coasts now! North or South!

After we got home my driver/friend whom I rented the room from said to message her and ask what she wants to do since she's been to Bali before. I said I don't want to text so soon and besides, why should I plan things around her. He said who cares since it's my last day (basically be more aggressive). So I messaged her like he suggested. Next morning I messaged her asking if she was going to join me. A little while later I decided to just go out and if she wants to join she can. So I messages her that when she is ready to be picked up just let me know. As we were leaving the house I was checking messages on WhatsApp (wifi is bad here) and I needed to talk to my brother about something. Anyhow, I noticed that she's "online" and probably had just woke up. I told my driver that and he said tell her we'll come pick her up right now. I was hesitant because IMO that was pushy and I don't like that. In the end I listened to him and sent the message. She responded back saying "thank you but stop texting me. I already have my day planned." It was then that I realized I shouldn't have listened to the guy and that I f'ed it up. I actually looked forward to hanging out with her for a while that day too. That would have sealed the wonderful Bali experience for me. Instead, I was really bummed out. I felt like I've been misunderstood since that's not who I am. Kind of reminded me of Sara's thread. |

Flight to VN has about 50 seats open and flight from DPS to KL has about 5. So that's going to be the main catch. If I can get to Malaysia it will be okay after. Well hey, maybe another day in Bali wouldn't be too bad right? |
