Attempt #2 at having a birthday day to remember involved Cath and I heading to the local waterpark in Kuta. Cheesy, but it had to be done and an excellent day was had by us both. We managed to go down every slide despite feeling rather nervous while waiting for a couple of them...I feel a new addiction coming on. Nice to feel like a kid again!
Currently in Lovina on the North Coast of Bali - we left Kuta a few days ago and spent three nights in Ubud, where contrary to all the pamphlets scattered around the town, we did not find spiritual enlightenment. Cath tried to kill me by dragging me on a 6 hour walk in the midday sun but that was my favourite Ubud experience as we were out of the town and in the country. I went on a cookery course so can now make nasi goreng, satay and the lovely peanut sauce we've been eating over here. Since we were in the mood for courses, we decided to do a Balinese dance course. The dance teacher was elegance personified....Cath and I were like the 'before' in an anti-perspirant ad. Nice. Very complicated dancing though, in our defence - everything from toes to eyeballs has to move in the right way.
Right I'm off for a little lie down now....we managed to have our second big night out in Indonesia last night on our first day in Lovina - swimming in the pool at 3.30am. Classy....
Off to find some dolphins tomorrow, I'll let you know how we get on.
ps: mum don't worry, I managed to pick up a decent-ish pair of boots in Kuta, which I'll try and hold on to this time....

Ah, swimming at 3am, I love it girls. Wish I was there. And dolphins and slides and dancing, oh my! You're packing it in. I went to Ubud and missed spiritual enlightenment too. There were cheeky monkeys though. Take lots of care, Fran xxx
