(12 December) Today was basically a travel day! Got up, paid for the room (got away with 80k a night instead of 90), got some more aloe Vera from the plant for my bites which were getting much better, and had breakfast. The girls walked down with me when they were going to the beach and left me at the ticket office. From there I had a 2 hour boat to Bali, then maybe 90 mins to Kuta, where I killed time, having lunch and a wander around the shops. Was glad I hadn...

(11 December) Today had a really lazy day. The weather wasn't that great which was a shame! But still good enough for a beach day! Had standard banana pancake for breakfast again lol, and said bye to Sabrina as she was leaving for Bali. Then went with Kedy and Vanessa and a girl called Lin who had moved in next to Vanessa to the beach! We just chilled out on the beach for a bit, then it started to rain so we retreated to a beach cafe with a roof for lunch and w...

(10 December) Saw Sabrina and Vanessa at breakfast this morning and we decided to chill out for a bit then have a wander to the other side of the island because the weather wasn't amazing. The Germans and English guy had moved to somewhere that they thought was cheaper but was actually more expensive...not sure how they managed that! And Brian the Irish guy had left early in the morning. We woke up Kedy, who had slept through breakfast, when we were leaving, and...

(9 December) Had a pretty bad night itching loads, was not fun! Woke up and went out to see what the craic was with the included breakfast, and there was a girl sitting at the communal table thing so I went to talk to her. Her name was Vanessa and she was from Brazil. I ordered a banana pancake and while we waited more people appeared - a girl called Kedy from Holland and a girl called Sabrina from Germany. They were all really nice and single travellers...it w...

(8 December) Got up early this morning to get the slow boat to the Gili islands! Had quite a few bites on my shoulders when I woke up which was a bit dodgy but didn't think it was too bad... My transfer to the boat was basically a private taxi, and the guy told me I would need to buy another ticket to get to the islands...I was like eh, this is meant to get me the whole way and he said yes but that's the slow boat, you want fast boat! I was just like eh no than...
