West Bali

My trip took me west from Lovina towards Gilimanuk. Gilimanuk is where you would jump on a ferry to go to Java. The drive here was pretty mellow. It was all along the coast so you got to see bits and pieces of the ocean. Sometimes there were large craters in the mountains near by but nothing like you would see in Oregon. I arrived in the town and went to the ferry. I was temped to jump boat but held back. I was on a mission to do the whole island. That will have to be for the next trip out here. So, I head south now towards Seminyak and Kuta. This drive took quite a while. The roads were pretty straight and didn't take that many pictures. It was really cool but I already took a bunch of pictures of rice patties so I didn't need anymore. I ended up in Kuta and found a homestay. My plan now is to surf for the rest of the trip, and I have been doing that so far. Kuta is the big city and full of tourist. Its over populated and everyone has a scooter including me. At first I thought there were too many people, but Kuta has grown on me. I now really like it. Each place to surf though is a drive. Kuta has a beach but its flat because its rainy season and the waves are all on the east side (Kuta is west). Bali is quite the place.

Until next time folks...I'm trying hard to get pictures up but Internet here is even slower than OZ.
