Pictures (Text unedited) that's all you really want anyway.

Okay I found a really fast internet connection hear in Singapore,woohhoo so here's a bunch of pick from Bali!

alright the last blog was a Monday so these pics and word are form a Tuesday! Dwi took the motorbike back first thing. Matts privileges were cut. There's even more to that story, but "I aint one to gossip so you aint heard that form me!". Off to Singaraja, a big town on the opposite side of Bali from Denpasar. First stop is to one of Dwis jobsites where Matt and I proceed to blare annoying rock music much to the annoyance of the surrounding cars.

Next is off to Turtle Island, which is home to a Sea turtle sanctuary. (Read - big area for exploiting turtles and getting money from tourists) It was interesting, the guy in the picture kept trying to get us to hold them. There were some huge turtles there and bunch of little ones in a separate area, which were pretty damn cute.

next stop Monkey Temple (Sanjeh Lot). The parking lot alone was full of these cute little mischievous running around and fucking all over the place. We pay , while Dwi does not as a lady follows us the whole time. Monkey s are everywhere eating trash and just being monkeys. I hold my stuff pretty tight just in case the monkeys like my stuff. A little side route takes us to a huge tree filled with hanging bats.


My childish desires look around for a rock, but of course I think better. Instead of dogs eating the offerings its the monkeys at this places. As we leave the lady that had been following us the whole time made us look at her shop. As we leave we tease a monkey with a solak and head up the mountain.

Stop at a little hillside village market and buy some strawberries. Even saw some apples imported form Washington! Also a bunch of cute little bunnies right next to the warung that sells rabbit sate.

Back in the car and of through the hills to another lakeside temple. It was nice. There were some people inside the grounds trying to get people to take pictures with a python, a iguana, and a thing they called a mongoose. I refuse to believe it was a mongoose. Onward to Singaraja, just as I was asking Dwi if people just built house on the side of the road or paid for the land, one of the countless motorbikes that had been passing us recklessly all day hit our car. They clipped the front of Dwis car and flipped with their bike in the air. Dwi stopped I jumped out to make sure they were okay. It reeked of gas. They got up and we pulled the bike off the road. Suddenly we were surrounded by all local people and there was much comotion Indonesian. Matt and I just staring at each other . While Dwi explained what happened. After a little debate we hoped back in the car and had a very sobering ride to Singaraja. No police, no paperwork, no problem! Crazy.

Finally into Singaraja, actually Lovina, where we arrived at Nicks Homestay, a lovely beachfront place, where we promplty relaxed had our first beer in Bali and watched locals net fish for an hour with out catching anything. Along drive back more tahu-tek and a great nights sleep. Ahh
