Jimbaran Bay

We left Legian and headed a little bit down the coast to a place called Jimbaran Bay. We were staying at a cosy resort with self catering facilities. It has been nice to be able to cook a little bit after so many months of eating out.
Oh and we went to Carrefore supermarket which I loved, we were about 3 hours in the supermarket. we also decided that we had better buy a book on Australia.

This was yet another place that involved a lot of relaxing. We watched some dvds, hung at the pool with the Slight family, had a few bevies.

For Christmas eve we had a relly great meal in the hotel, but it just wasnt what we'd have at home. Xmas day we got go a walk along the lovely beach, and a load of drinks by the pool. Happy xmas to everyone by the way - Terry appoligises for his not calling/texting anyone.

We also went to visit a couple of up market resort. One had a stunning beach with a natural waterfall and a jungle backdrop. It was impressive.

So, we fly out on the evening of the 31st and arrive in Oz at 1am on the 1st. we are hoping to meet up with some of the friends that we have made along the way and friends and relatives who are in Australia at the moment.

Bali - Legian - Kuta

We got the ferry from Trawangan and headed back to Bali. We decided to stay at Legian which is quite touristy but we wanted to be near all of the services. We stayed in a place recommended by Milva.
I have to say that we really did not do much in Legian, we went for dinner with Milva a couple of times and we had a great night out with Milva, Dave and Cheryl.

We had planned to do some major beach hanging and possibly learn to surf as Kuta beach is supposed to be great for that. However once we saw the rubbish dump that is Kuta and Legian Beach we decided not to (we should have listened to Paul). Instead we bought lots of DVD’s and wandered about and had a gander at the shops. We looked for stuff for each other for Christmas.

That was it really for our time in Legain except we had meat fondue.
Also, we reassessed our finances and realized we are good senders and that we have had a great time but that the money was running out so when we get to Australia we are going to try change our flights. See you all soon.
