Downtown Kuta via a Scooter!!!

Asia Invasion Part Two: SHOPPING!!!!!

Once we left Bali, the rest of the trip was a blur of shops, cocktails, more shops and great food!!!!

Is this possibly the seediest toilet in Bali?

And no....i don't mean in terms of hygiene (although it was pretty questionable)

*ahem* check the "Art" on the wall.............

and then the "lovely" photo board of all the old, fat Western men being "entertained" by the waitresses.

Oh, did i mention we got offered Viagra whilst attempting to keep a straight face whilst finishing our drinks........The lure of a cheap drink special ain't always worth it.

Asian Invasion Part One: Bali!

Arrived home yesterday from our jaunt around Asia. First stop was of course, Bali!!!!! This time around we ditched the driver and headed out on a rented scooter. I can't recommend it enough!!! If you're comfortable dodging in and out of a little hectic traffic and prepared to drive offensively (over there they beep the horn to let you know they're coming, unlike here where its the equivalent to yelling "screw you!" out the window) then it is the perfect way to get around. Most of the locals own scooters as they're dirt cheap to buy and the government provide affordable loan repayment schemes. Just make sure you get an International Drivers Licence before you head for Bali otherwise if stopped by local police you could find yourself up for a fairly steep bribe.

Anyone who knows us knows that we LOVE hot chilli (cabai) so we took a gamble and ate mainly at the "colera carts." Guts of steel ahoy, we lived to tell the tale and enjoyed some damn fine (and spicy) food. One of the nicest parts of eating at these kind of places is getting to sit and speak with locals (mainly broken English and the little Indonesian we know) and also watching them move from shock through to laughter as we kept asking for more "extra chilli please" (cabai tambahan silahkan)

Neither Selekt or I like Kuta or the trashy Aussie nightclub scene opting to stay as always in Sanur at our friends gorgeous property Yin Yang Villa. Located about a 20 min drive from Kuta, this beautiful luxury villa boasts a private pool, 3 bedrooms, driver and maid. Yin Yang have recently started accepting rental bookings whether you're looking for a short or long term stay, visit their website www.yinyangvillabali.com and check it out for yourself!

 Bintang, Cocktails, Shopping, Beach, Relaxation! As always Bali......its was a blast!
