Indo so far

Hey, so we been in Jakarta for a couple days which was an eyeopener to say the least. Was very interesting to go there, its amazing just how poor some of the areas are. I'm sure we'll get to see loads of that all over Indo. We just ended up spending our time in shopping malls, thanks for all the tips Sam. We had a great sushi in Talan Anggrek shopping center!!!! The touristy areas like Jalan Jakse are not all that during the day and pretty seedy, maybe at night it would be a little different. So my advice, stay in the malls.

We are now in Bali and it has been a pleasure. first night we had to stay in a dodge place as the island had no accommodation because of Ramadan, but we are now staying at the Suka Beach Inn in Kuta, which is lovely, looks like a temple :) . Kuta is this really wild surfing town with a busy nightlife and loads of street stalls selling knock offs of surfing gear. Have not been tempted yet as my boardies are still in one piece.

I've been out surfing every morning which is awesome and finding my feet but i still look at the local kids in awe, they are younger than 10 and ripping up the waves like crazy. Been thinking of gettting a board as the next 3 months we will be following good surf in India, Aus, NZ, US and Mexico. Board hire does add us and getting tired of the haggling for prices. It takes away from good surfing time.

Food here is so good and cheap and beer is fantastic too. Watched the Bokke win the rugby this morning at 03hoo and am thrilled we are in the final. Celia and I have hired a scooter and are off exploring tomorrow. Can't wait. The scooter has a little board rack so wherever you find surf on yout bike you can just stop off and jump in the water.

Well i'll chat you soo and hopefully have time to upload photos of some of the beautiful sunsets we have seen!!!
