first 24 hours in Bali, still no new friends....

Lunch at the mall.

Today started off fairly slowly, even though we woke up in high spirits expecting to make new friends, this proved more difficult than originally expected, but we still managed to end off in a high note in true saffa style.

Our first adventure of the day was to mission off to the Bali Galleria in search of sim cards and laptop plugs, as everyone reading this will know we were successful in activating our bbm services (as this is of highest importance), however we are still sharing one laptop between three of us and this may be the case for a few more days.

We cracked the nod to the beach with some of the other students but thats about as far as the socializing went for the day. So off we went with our nerdy backpacks and our cameras in search of a party.

No success.


We returned to the hotel (res) and as most of you, if you knew us at all, would know we had prepared in advance by purchasing the necessary jolling materials in duty free. The pool was greatly enjoyed by all three of us. ;) After getting soaked, we refreshed ourselves and headed out for dinner.

Playing with our underwater cameras. Haha.

We enjoyed our first BINTANG beer. After our above average dinner we went to a bar/grill just up the road from our hotel and ordered a very expensive and effective cocktail each. Leaving Cubana proved a difficult feat, Sam Bosman and myself needed assistance from the traffic marshall who stopped all oncoming cars and scooters so we could make it across safely, while Sam Peckham ran across the road with no regard for oncoming traffic and crazy balinese drivers.

First of many Bintangs in Bali.

Our first Sunday in Bali well spent.
