Bali - Day 6

Organic food goodness. Surfing awesomeness. Yoga. Check, check, check. Another day in paradise.



The highlight today was getting picked up after our surf lesson to go to another beach where the “real” surfers surfed. My intention was of course to try to pick up some new techniques, but the others were in it for hot surfer bods. If only they were as committed to the sport as I am. C’mon, hot surfers? Please.

Let me just make a quick mention that it is blisteringly hot and humid here. I pretty much drench all my clothes every day, and not by swimming.



The beach was pretty, and it was cool to see the surfers. They basically hike down these narrow steps that wind all over the place until you end up in this cave at the bottom. Once there the surfers paddle out of the cave on their boards and hit the surf to the beach.




A bunch of us (Sonia- Perth, Elizabeth, Gina, Nicola- UK, Maureen – UK, 3 sisters from Sydney, Chicago and LA, and Rebecca- UK) hot-footed it up to a restaurant to watch the surfers from the relative shade and with French fries and beers clasped in our greedy little fingers. (No worries mum, I had French fries clasped in both hands.)



It was a nice relaxing afternoon followed by a trip to a seafood restaurant where they move the tables right out on the sand of the beach. For those who like seafood, it’s apparently wriggling and fresh right from sea to table. We watched the sun set and enjoyed a lovely evening of food, folks, and fun.


As a sidenote, this beach was where the terrorists dropped a bomb a few years ago. Pretty sad that they could mar such beauty with hatred.
