hi

we are now in Bali, got here on thur (16th)

first stop was two nights in a town called Sanur, which was another ghost town and we didnt really like the bungalows we were in, so we spent the two days round the pool, then left Sanur on Saturday and got a taxi to Kuta, which is the main town on the island therefore where all the tourists go.

The beaches here in Kuta are not that great and are full of surfers from a round the world. so we lucky to have a good hotel with a pool, so we can spend time relaxing around there.

Today we decided to try and fit in with all the ozzys and learn how to surf (as this is the only reason tom really wanted to come to bali)- so we paid 12 pounds each for a two hour lesson and then we were able to keep the board for the rest of the day. Tom loved it and picked it up really easy, he was standing up on the board after 10 mins, unlike me.i wasnt sure whether to do it as a have a bad knee (torn the cartlidge in me right knee this summer and didnt have time to have the opperation on it before we came a way), but i wanted to give it ago, so i wore my massive knee bandage, however i still didnt have the strength to hold all my body weight on that leg and push my self up. but our teacher guy was great, he kept teachin tom at every stage as well as helping me, he carried on over the 2 hours we had paid him for, however, after 4 hours we were nacked so had to give it a break for some lunch, but our teacher said he would meet us again after to help me some more, as well giving me another free lesson tomorw if i realy wanted to learn, he did not want to give up on me trying.

so after our very tiring day, we are having an early night, then a relaxing day tomorw around the pool, before we move on from Kuta on Wednesday.
