Another Day in Germany
Well after a couple of days in the luxury of Sanur we have moved on to Padangbai (East Coast) and commenced our budget holiday. Room prices are significantly cheaper with $A80 per night in Sanur compared to $A10 in Padangbai.
We caught the tourist bus on Saturday and joined all the other budget travellers. The trip was reasonably quick however our driver enjoyed playing chicken with trucks, buses, cars, stray dogs or anything else that would get in his way, actually the only thing he would give way to was a small temple parading as a traffic cop.
It appears that we are still in the wet season or at least the end of it. For the last two days there has been rain and storms in the afternoon. At least we didn't pack our swanky raincoats for nothing.
We have also started to try new meals and to verge away from the safety of a club sandwich. Last night Dom tried special fried rice and asked for "a little bit of chilli", the chef must have misheard her and thought she said "please give me a plate of your hottest chilli and throw in a couple of bits of rice". Maybe we will go back to club sandwiches for a couple of days or at least wait until after the ring sting has subsided.
The snorkleing in Padangbai is fantastic and there is a little bay that is only a 5 minute walk from town that has a very impressive coral reef.
We sat at the little cafe on the bay (photo was taken from our table) yesterday and drank Bintang in between snokelling adventures. It is amazing how little you can achieve in a day when you are lazy Australians on holiday with no job, no home and no specific destination to go to.
One little bit of advise for snorkellers in Indonesia. There is heaps of garbage floating in the water and with that garbage is the ichiest little bastard sea lice you can find. Therefore avoid at all costs swimming through garbage.
The Germans still control this place and there is one using the computer next to me, I think he wants me to star is one of his home made videos, so I better go now
Cheers Evan

P.S.S Excessive Bintang helps reduce the effect of chilli overindugence.
