Bali is a tropical country where there are ornate carvings on every building from top to bottom. I am there now and am amazed at how beautiful and intricate they are.

 

We arrived at 9pm and went straight to our Villa where we relaxed for a day then went head first into shopping for stock for our shop. The first day we went to Ketuts shop to order rainbow fairy dresses and frilly rainbow skirts. The next day we went back to Ketuts to get fitted for our new circus costumes.

After spending 4 days in Legian shopping up a storm we caught a ferry to Nusa Lembongan where we stayed at  the Tamarind beach bungalows for 4 nights. In New Zealand Mum and I had dreamed of going back to the Beach Club (we went there when I was 5) and sure enough we found ourselves at the Beach Club laying on massive cushions eating, swimming, relaxing and fulfilling our dream.

I am disgusted at the fact that the island is covered in rubbish. The locals just don’t seem to care and what is collected is burnt. No recycling here!

 

After a hot and tiring walk in the midday heat from Tamarind beach to Jungatbatur (main town) we reached our destination, Wahyu home-stay.

The next day we hired 2 motorbikes, Dad and the boys went on one and Mum and I went on the other. It was a bit scary as it was Mums first time driving a motorbike. Terrified we set off to tiki-tour the islands but in the end it turned out to be great fun. Mum was awesome! ( she asked me to put that in).

The rules are different on Lembongan, school kids ride motorbikes to school, no helmets so I thought I would give Dad a tour of the island.

Every night we ate at a cute little shack on the beach selling delicious food. After 8 days on Lembongan we took a ferry to Bali and headed for Ubud. Farewell Lembongan!
