Oooooh my good! Hello to every 1. This is Dave writtng this so spelling mistakes will occur. Do forgive me.
Anyway i have no excuse why we have not written on the blog for so long. Its just lazy. Me and Em often bring it up but want to do so many things but thank you so much for writting ur messages! I think last time we were on was when we were in Vietnam. So im gona go to Cambodia wich we rushed three days it took. We went to anchor watt. Well worrds cannot describe and pictures cant. Fantastic. Can see why it is the seventh wonder of the world. I thought dad worked me hard but would have liked to see who built that temple huge. The night life was also ok!!!!!
We stayed in Siam Reep where we got a bus from there to Bangkok. Never been on a road like it. Dad the next time the Marshes do the lane tell them not to both cos its heaven compared to what we went through!!!! Six hours of gravel roads the bumpest road id ever been on. And we had a flat tire. The bus was no aircon infact it was hardly anything. Job to have a seat. And as we stayed up till 4 in the morning thinking to sleep the whole journey was not good.
However upside to everydown we met some brilliant people on the bus who we went to Bangkok with and made the journey a lot more berable. We did have a moody driver who threatend to chuck us all of the bus because we were talking!!! He said he couldnt stand the talking. He pulled over and told us all to get of the bus and get a taxi. We all rufused so he continued for about 15minutes then got so angry went about 110mph in the mini bus untill we promised to shut up. Belive it or not we were speechless after this and scared for are live cos he wived in and out of the cars so bad that we could no longer talk.
Bangkok for around 5 days and we could not move are flight to Bali any earlier so we ent to Ko toa (south islands) one of my gems of the trip quite foresty perfect waters and hot. And we bumped into our friends that were on the bus so spent the week with them. Was amazing. Are freind Dave however crashed his ped but was okay to go out drinking that night thank god!!!!
We then joined Dave and his friends Rich ,Vicky and Claudia to bangkok where we well slept nearly 7 days then unfortunatly they had to fly home to sunny old England. so we waited for are flight to Singapore and the night before me and Emma thought at 4am we may aswell stay up all night as we were drunk and met some more people. Also we could sleep on the plane!! Or not. The plane was 2 hours long and we had dinner in between so by the time we had fallen asleep we got woken up again. So 30 hours of no sleep we arrive at a hostel to be told that there are no beds available. So they throw a matress down on the roof and thats where we slept.
We only had one day to look around Singapore so we had to choose Em wanted to see Tigers! I wanted Dolphines!! I won we went to underwaterworld and it was amazing we also went in a cable cart and saw amazing views. Also went shopping for Ems but didnt buy anything as both have not so much money any more. But if i have to live in a city in my life it is going to be that one!!! The nicest place (citywise) i have ever been and loved it!!!! If you think about going dont think just go so worth it!!
Anyway back to the airport to fly to Bali where im gona stop writtng because im probably making so many mistakes you cant read it!!!! and now emma has finished what she was doing she is going to take over. Thank you from mexx
Hello its Em here!
Im carrying on from where Dave left off as he got too desperate for a beer and has gone to a bar across the road!
We are now in Bali and have been here for 14 days so far, i don't know where all the days have gone as it feels like we've only been here a few! It's possibly to do with the fact we never make it out of bed until midday!
We have spent most of our days on Kuta beach which is where most the tourists and beginner surfers go. We have been hiring body boards and surf boards most days, Dave loves it and can spend hours in the water abd is getting good. I have had a lesson with some local Indonesian guys we have made friends with so i can at least stand up on the board now! We met the Indonesian guys through a Russian couple we met here, and we have been hanging out with them on the beach most days and they have introduced us to the Esspresso bar which has a live band everynight and also the Apache Reaggae bar which is really cool too. It's so hard not to go out at night here so we go out most nights till about three-hence us never getting up before midday!
We did a day tour of the island as we thought we should really see something other than just the beach and bars here. We saw the traditional "Borang"dancing of Bali which was umm different! Then we were taken to some craft shops where they make silver and paintings, and then we visited Monkey forest which i think was the highlight as there were hundreds of monkeys and they were even climbing on us! Next we headed off into the mountains and stopped and ate lunch in a posh restaurant which over looked the volcano, mountains and huge lake, it was such a stunning view. The food wasnt bad either and as it was very expensive compared to what we normally spend on food we made the most of the fact it was a buffet and stuffed ourdelves until we practically couldn't move! After this we visited the larges temple in Bali where unfortunatley Dave wasn't allowed in as he didnt have a sarong (which we thought was pretty ridiculous as he's a guy!), however i went in and saw a Hindu ceremony which was interesting. We then saw a small museum and a black sand beach-which was pretty ugly! But overall it was a good day out.
Tommorrow we head iff for the Gili islands which are 3 small islands just off of Lombok. They are meant to be very beautiful and more chilled out than Bali so we are lookin forward to it. There are no cars or peds allowed on the island so the only form of transport is horse and cart which sounds perfect as ive had enough of the peds apeeding around down the alleyways here and nearly killing us on a regular basis! We paln to spend about a wek on those islands then back here for a couple more days then we fly to Sydney! Im so excited about Oz and especially if we manage to hire a wicked campervan!
Anyways i guess thats everything we've been up to so we wil be giving you another update shortly after arriving in Oz!
loads of love Ems and Dave xxxxxxx
