2 Hours sleep following our over night flight back from bali and here we are back in western civilization! Had our first hot water showe today in a month and boy was it a long one! Beckys pretty happy that she made a month in indo without having the squits. So success all round. Had a great time in indo, nice to have a change of scene in australia, but the task of jobs/vehicle and somewhere to live is going to be interesting! Will put an update on when we've ...

The last week has been spent on the island of Lombok, to the east of Bali. The scenery was a lot more rugged and rocky with much less tourist development (none really). We stayed in a pretty nice hotel, scoffing banana pancakes for breakfast, riding to the surf, very slowly, might I add on our newly acquired transport, a couple of mopeds. It was the only way to get around here other than by Cidomo, (horse and cart). Dont worry parents, we went very slow and ...

And being that there were only about 10 other travellers around and the locals didnt go in the wa...

Here we are in busy Kuta, Bali. Weve had a pretty interesting time so far, our hotel is pretty nice with air con and beautiful pool...luxury..even hot water! Weve surfed at Kuta reef, catching a brightly coloured boat out to the reef which breaks quite far out. The driver drops us off in the middle of the ocean and dissapears for too long normally!!! The first day we surfed there I (Becky) caught no waves (and wanted to go home..kind of) and aaron battled it out ...
