Just when we thought it couldn't get any hotter we arrived in Bali Indonesia! This place is nothing like what we expected. It is the Asian Cancun! It's night life is pretty hectic and never ending! Almost too much to handle! We figured we wouldnt spend too much time here. That all changed when we saw the beach! Beautiful white sand beaches and crystal blue water! It is breath taking. Now for the catch... You don't get one minutes rest here. You are constantly bombarded with people trying to sell you things. Normally I can accept this, but these people are so aggressive! They grab you, yell at you, whine at you, even cry when you say no thank you. It's just a bit too much to handle and really takes away from the experience. It's quite unfortunate because Bali is really gorgeous but I wouldn't come back.
We could evade the hawkers by going in the water and decided to try surfing. We found a nice lady who rented us some boards and warned us not to go out for an hour or so. Instead of listening to her warning like most people, we took to the water. Just a note to you beginners if you look around the water and no one else is surfing there is probably a good reason for that. After our near death experience in the powerful waves we gave up (temporarily of course). Hoping to try again in some much calmer waters.
After a few nights in Bali we decided it was enough and are heading to the Gili islands. We are looking forward to seeing another side of Indonesia! (hopefully a much more friendly side)
