After my exams, I went with Kris and Noen to Bali. We were there for 4 nights/ 3 days, just to relax. My flight there was horrible, it took me almost 12!! Hours to get there, but luckily I got a lot in return. The weather was great and the waves were huge, the first time I got stuck in one, I have to admit I was a little scared, but after I got used to it I had lots of fun. We rented a scooter (off course I did NOT drive) and I even went surfing! At night we went (on the scooter) to Tanah Lot to see a temple, which was closed because we came too late. But the ride to there and back already made it worthwhile for us (at least for me). It felt great to sit on the back of the scooter.
After the first night we moved to a hotel closer to the beach (big mistake!). The hotel looked ok but actually it was very dirty. The first night Noen and I had a long conversation (discussion) about a cockroach that was walking in the hall, I called Noen cause I thought the HUGE cockroach might crawl under the door inside my room. Noen said that it was way to big to do that. An hour later, Noen calls kris and me to tell us that the cockroach crawled under her door!! (Coincidence???)
The next morning we woke up at (6.30!!!) because we heard a really loud sound coming from the roof, it sounded like a HUGE rat that would fall trough the ceiling. I send Kris to find out what it was wile I went to pee. While I was sitting there I noticed that at the sink right in front of me there was a cockroach. And when I talk about cockroaches I do NOT mean those little ones you sometimes see in Holland, I mean HUGE (bigger than mice) cockroaches!!!! So I starting panicking cause off course I cannot just run while peeing. So I think that that pee in Bali was my shortest ever. After I was done I ran out of the room with my pants barely on. (ok maybe this is a bit too much information). Anyway luckily we found another hotel and did not have any more cockroaches in our room (as far as we saw).
That day we also went to the beach first Noen and Kris went to surf, I saw them standing on the board a couple of times (which both Noen and me were not able to do the day before). I started surfing after Kris. I could not believe I was standing already on my first wave. By the time I got near the beach I thought better jump off to prevent the surfboard from getting damaged. BAD IDEA!!! When I jumped off I hurt myself on a rock :’(. I had a hole in my toe, which bled quit a lot. So what I thought was my first wave turned out to be my last as well. Since I already started giving you too much info when I told the cockroach story, I’ll make it even worse by adding a picture of my toe. :D
The last whole day we used to go rafting. I was doubting I would go, with my bleeding toe I was walking kind of strange (very slow), But I am very happy that I went. Our tour guide was really funny, it was beautiful and a LOT of fun!. If you are ever in Bali you should really try it. After the rafting we went (on the scooter off course) to a beautiful beach called dreamland. (see pictures). The next morning I was off to Singapore again, and the next day my mom would come and visit me.
You can read about that in my next blog ;)
