Bye Bye Bali

After a fabulous 30 day stay, I am catching my plane and heading to the land down under, but not without tying up all the loose ends with one final Bali blog post.

We spent 6 fabulously relaxing nights on Gili Trawangan, the biggest of a small island chain of the coast of the island of Lombok.  In Gili T there are no cars or motorbikes, only bicycles and horse drawn carriages.  It took us about 45 minutes to ride our bikes around the entire island (and it probably wouldn't have taken so long if we didn't have to walk our bikes half the time on the back half of the island because the road became loose sand that was impossible to ride on).  Most of our days on Gili T were spend sunbathing witha good book, eating and snorkeling.  It was a good life.

After Gili T it was back to Kuta for a few nights of craziness and swagin', off to Uluwatu for a night to see the sights and now we're back in Kuta, waiting to fly out this evening.  Life is hard sometimes.

Gili T is all about magic mushroom, guys coming up to you on the beaches with bags full of them and trying to hawk you shroomy shakes

We had to wear sarongs in the temple.  Beware of knees.

And back to Kuta for two nights before flying out for a little partying at Sky Garden

I don't even know what this is, but it's too good not to add it in.
