A relaxed first day...!


A relaxed first day...!

We're now on our second day here in Bali and having a fab time. We took it easy yesterday and enjoyed some excellent spa massages - total bliss for me...not so sure James enjoyed it as much. Firstly he got a man massaging him (not what he was expecting) and secondly they got him to wear a tiny disposable pair of pants!

After that we went for a long walk along the beach - we weren't too
impressed as it was shingle and not particularly clean. However we found out this wasn't the main beach in Kuta so we plan to go exploring again today.

I have already been struck by Bali-belly. Had to rush off and leave James sat in a cafe - I then proceeded to pass out in the toilets and had two tiny female Balinese toilet assistants fanning me and rubbing Eucalyptus oil into my hands (felt like a right plonker I can tell you!). Didn't get back to James for 40 minutes, by which time he was really worrying about me!

Our hotel is lovely (http://www.greenbali.com/main_hotel.html) and had excellent live music on last night. I would just say one annoying thing about Bali we have found is all the locals nagging you to buy stuff. We are having to be quite rude and ignore then as they don't leave you alone otherwise. I think James needs a little practice - yesterday he was nagged into buying a newspaper that cost more than our lunch and drinks did...and it wasn't even an English newspaper!!!

Anyway - hope all is well in England.
