A little piece of paradise

Is what this bungalow is. Our own bamboo house in a yard full of bamboos and flowers, with a semi open bathroom, dining room, and mosquito net covered tent-bed.

 (These open during the day and close at night! Cool!)

Big flat screen TV with hundreds of movies and albums, infinity pool facing the ocean, the most delicious and healthy breakfast I've had yet. All ours privately. For 62$ per person for two nights.

We spent our days relaxing by the pool, with fresh fruit shakes, and our nights watching movies (with Cameron Diaz. We both love her lol).

We went to the beach once (on a motorbike with Julia on my back again! She trusted me again even though I told her the story of me falling ><). We were such bad influences on each other and did a LOT of shopping...for Indonesian beach gear. We had both thought that we'd have leftover Indonesian rupiahs at the airport, but both ended up having to take money out of the atm....oops. #overbudget.

The beach we visited was a world famous surfer beach, and we watched the waves and surfers for a while from a cliff side restaurant, while having burgers (finally caved!), during the sunset.

 (Our new sarongs. Even though we really didn't need any more...:p)

Today, because it was cloudy, we brought our breakfast in and watched 12 Years A Slave while eating. It was Julia's first slavery movie, and she was very struck by it. This is the life. Can't ask for a better pre-med school couple of days.

Right now, we're both stationed facing our balcony ocean view, and writing down the last of our travel experiences (Julia in her journal and me on this blog).

We have a Buddhist mantra CD on. It's very calming. We found out that we both are people who agree with Buddhist teachings but don't actively practice the religion.

Anyway, after this, it's food, pack, shower, and off to the airport for both of us! Thankfully, my flight to Sydney is not canceled so far - I had a scare because the Mt. Raung eruption and corrosive ashes have caused cancelations of this Sydney flight for 3 days in a row now. But apparently the winds are changing directions today, lucky me!

Julia is hungry, better go!
