Bali: Kuta then Sanur

Sunday was a repeat of Saturday except we ate dinner poolside with two Canadian couples and the Australian family, enjoying some great conversation, noodles and satay.  Another late night dip to cap off the night—what a way to end the day!  Today we just lived in our swim suits—love it!

Monday we checked out, said our goodbye to the fun Australians, and took a taxi to Sanur--a quiet and more upscale town not too far away.  Upon arrival we were greeted with the standard complimentary orange juice (well, it was some sort of orange colored juice) and not much else.  The room was in poor condition and the furniture seemed like Erik was in a dollhouse.  Still with smiles on our faces, we walked along the boardwalk by the beach and headed to our small pool, surrounded with British “white trash” (yes, the Brits have them too).  We never knew such a thing existed, but tried to relax with the flowery language (around children no less). 

The local boats that the locals wanted to take us out on.

Shelley sure seems happy about this!!

No, that is not Shelley and I?!

Let me take the boat out, please?

At least we found a real gem of a restaurant for dinner—huge portions, great prices. 

One night at this hotel (in ”upscale” Sanur—yeah right?!) was all we could manage as both us woke up at 3AM to spray each other down with bug spray from our evening attack from unknown night predators.   That was it!  We would not stay in the hotel again….and we didn’t.
