Day 57 - Bali

We started our day with breaky at the hostel and then we hit the beach for some surf and sun!

We all got some fried noodles and fried rice which was delicious as always, and then we walked down the beach till we found some good waves. We hired 2 surfboards for $4 and had a go in the sea. The waves were quite ruthless today so it was hard for any of us to get up long enough as we kept getting dumped by the water! We all got rashes from the boards on our stomachs.

I brought some sunnies for $2.50, bargained him down from $15. Its so ridiculous the price they try to initially sell it to you for.

We swam back at our hostel, got a snack and chilled out until we went out for dinner.

We asked the locals at our hostel for a good, cheap restaurant so they told us to go to a place called 'Bale Udang Mang Engking'. The restaurant was amazing and over a large pond with fish swimming around, which when you sit out on the water they are just below your feet. We ordered - shrimps, chicken satay, chicken black pepper and some vegetables with nut sauce. I was enjoying the veges until my throat started to swell up and my tongue was on fire, my eyes started to cry and James said I was turning red - I had swallowed a chilli! It was so intense I felt like I was about to throw up. :( but I was fine 10 minutes later. The dinner was nice overall though and I would recommend this place because of the experience of sitting over the ponds, the local vibe and the cheap meals.

We walked around Kuta and Ben brought some Havaianas for $18 from the Billabong store. The cheap paired he brought for $2 killed his feet - s don't ever go skint on the jandals - buy the real deal!
