Waterbom Park

I had a small but embarassing mishap whilst getting some money out of a cash point. I entered the nice air conditioned room with several different cash machines. The first machine rejected my card so I turned to walk to the next machine and bang - I walked straight into a glass wall separating the machines! I immediately went weak at the knees and nearly collapsed on the floor. Fran said that she saw my eyes roll to the back of my head. Ouch! Fortunately no serious damage was done (pride apart), although I did feel dizzy for about 3 hours afterwards. The glass in the wall was so clean I simply didn't see it as I turned. Later in the day we did 5 hours straight, of shopping. I've discovered my limit is about 4 hours (I've never tested it before!), I think Fran could have kept going!

Yesterday we went to Waterbom Park (http://www.waterbom.com/) for some water / death slides! Fran and I went on the Boomerang slide together in a double tube. I could feel her heart pounding as we climbed to the top (after some persusion). At the start we pushed off and shot round some bends, no problem we thought... until we hit a sheer drop - it was like being weightless as we fell. We then shot up a steep u-bend and headed backwards back down. When we got off the slide Fran was laughing and panting hysterically, she couldn't even get her words out! She assures me that she enjoyed it but wasn't keen to go back on again...

Today we checked into a new hotel just by the beach. Its out of season at the moment so we can afford to get a really nice hotel called the "Inna Kuta Beach" (http://www.innakutabeach.com). We are staying in a fantasic Beach Bungalow :-) The pool is massive too.
