Ok this could take forever because I have the worn out keyboard and I have to guess at some of the letters. Ok we made it to Nusa Lembongan... to catch up, we got to Sanur at just before 4 pm ...the same time as the last ferry to Nusa Lembongan and of course it pulled away as we were paying for the tickets. It was actually allright cause they we're trying rip us off anyways, they had us paying for the fast boat and were going to put us on the slow public boat. Speaking of the ripping off stuff... you know your paying the foreigner price, they know ,you know, your getting ripped off, or at least after a while you realize your getting ripped off. But really they're ripping you off by 20 or 30 cents , maybe a dollar, in the long run maybe it makes a difference, but really in my mind it's the game you play. They play it , you play it, sometimes you lose , sometimes you win ...no harm , no foul.. we won on the bus the other day, he shrugged it off, just the way it goes.
So we ended up staying in Sanur for the night, we ended up staying at the hotel right next to the ferry dock, right on the beach, all for $20 US...who would have thought.OK not the greatest hotel in the world but close to all the happening stuff, ( not that, that mattered , cause I think we were in bed by 9 or 10 , something old like that) decent mattress, NO call to prayer and tea waiting on our veranda ( fancy huh!!)( is that the word for table outside our room?) in the morning.
So the guide book says: and I can't remember the exact quote, but it's something like: there is no dock, the ferry just comes into shore, YOU WILL GET WET!! so.... don't be a dumbass and bring your wheeled luggage through the sand...people will laugh at you. TA DAH...a whole bunch of dumbasses.
We're staying at a pretty nice place on the beach, the island is a little more developed than we expected, but still it's very nice...hmmm seem to be doing alot of staring at the screen so I will get out of here with this: Saw Nemo today, I was very excited to see him , we exchanged pleasantries, he said to say hi and hoped everything was well...great fish!!
love you all
