Changing reality

I get easily bored, and doing the same thing every day is not my "thing"....


It is easy to get into that mindset of just enough to keep me happy, but no, I woke up and wanted more, much more from myself.

The above photo is a market on my pointless/aimless trip this morning to the top of a mountain by moped.
I filled it up with petrol and it cost £1.
When I got to the top the road ended, and people were asking me with a smile where I am from, where do I live, do I need any help, yes they are that friendly here.

I then went for lunch here and had the entire place to myself.
Sat on the beach it is, what a view, I only had spring rolls and 2 small beers, and then some tourists arrived so I left, I am solitude standing.

Amazing place indeed, and at 40,000rp or £2 ish for the spring rolls and £1.80 a beer, why not hey.

I then went for what I came here for, to see the real Bali, not the tourist version, and boy did I get it, but left early as I could hear the thunder coming from the ocean, not the mountains, and I can still hear it now as I type, with that comes bugs, millions of them, and riding a bike becomes a pain when they are in your eyes, as happened to me tonight, dangerous to say the least.

My new Irish friend and her BF from South Africa came along, I left them there.

2 pigs they roasted for a ceremony, they have many ceremonies here, and this one was for good luck, the entire family have a village to themselves, in the jungle, up the mountain, and another reason why I left after only 1 beer, I like to get home in 1 piece.
I was offered women, and refused.

I have pretty much done what I wanted to in this part of Bali, so on the 15th which is my accommodation checkout date I shall be moving on.
That falls in line with me covering the G20 here.

I will miss this slice of heaven on this side of Bali, which is Tianyar, though when you have dived enough, seen enough, eaten enough and still feel lonely in a crowd, you know it is time to move on.

There is a place called Savana here, I will visit that, and the safari park, and try to swim with the dolphins, but then I want to move on.

Have a superb day ahead, peace and out.
