hi all we are now in bali!! we arrived at 1 in the morning so had no idea what our hotel looked like! We were pleasently surprised when we woke up this moring because it is really quite nice. It has a pool but they are doing some building work near it so i think we will stick to the beach which is a 5min walk away!! It is very hot and the first day we were here we brought some higher factor sun cream!! We have decided to go down to the other beach Kuta whcih is on the other side of the island tomorrow.

We are now in kuta! It's nice but you get hassled all the time by the locals,they constantly ask you for transport or come and look in my shop! I know they are only trying to make a living but it's very annoying when you are sunbathing on the beach! We were looking in the surf shops the other day when a girl came up to me and asked if i was from barnstaple, i have no idea who she was but she recognised me, must be all those nights out, it was worth it to be seen in bali!! It's so hot that you just sweat all the time!! Anyway we fly to new zealand tomorrow!!! emmaxx
