Touring Bali
1st June to 4th June Bali
So I decided to get out and about and explore a bit more of the island by moped. So packing a very light bag I headed out on the open road. Esentials only, a coat for the hills, a serrong for temples, and don't forget the toothbrush.
I stopped off is a monkey temple.
You get two body guards to spot the monkeys from attacking you and they also take photos of you with monkeys.
Then up to the hills and stopped for the night in a town called Candikuning. This turned out to be a muslem area with lots of head scarfs and hallal food. My accomidation was a bit more basic then up to now in a town where you can pay to go to "delux western toilets" a whole in the ground style with no flush seemed to be the going standard. This was a pity because I suffered my first real case of food poisening since leaving home and spent the night being sick etc. Oh and the next door mosque started prayers at 5:30am, I wonder what they did before loadspeakers? The next day I headed on to the collection of scruffy fishing villages turned beach resort called Lovina. There aren't many tourists here at the moment but I got a nice place on the beach to relax. So using this as a base I did a bit more biking in the mountains.

I don't even want to think what the "etc" might mean after "being sick" :) Poor you, hope you're better now. Do Bali toilets all have the hose thing for washing your backside and no tap for washing hands? That's what I hated most about Thailand.
