Bouncing around Bali

Hello again,

So the adventure continues....

On the plane to Bali, I connected with a fellow surfer from South Africa named Ross. We decided to join forces and headed up to the Bukit Peninsula, home of the famous left point break Uluwatu.


By recommendation of some cool Aussie guys, we set up camp at simple losmen near some quality waves.





In between the reeling lefts of Uluwatu and the death defying barrels of Padang-Padang lies
Thomas' Home Stay, a secluded slice of paradise admist Indonesia's surfing meca.


Shortly after our arrival my good friend Martini arrived from Jakarta to join the crew and have some fun.


Instantly we hit it off with the Finish and American surfer chicks staying next to us.






Complete with fresh chili's and beautiful views, we thoroughly enjoyed our time there.






After a few days of surf and relaxation, Ross and I got busy preparing for our next stop, the Banyak Islands!!! Two days of motor bike traffic, near accidents, and intense haggling later, I am now sitting pool side in Kuta, Bali at a Luxury Hotel that costs 30 USD / night.






Tomorrow morning we head off at 6am to Medan and then an overnight ride, followed by a ferry, and an hour boat ride will get us to the Banyak Island Lodge in time for the giant swell hitting on Tuesday!!!

Perfection is only days away, and I couldn't be more excited!!!

Sampai depan kali..... (Until next time)
