Hello, it's jemma!
We woke up soooo early today, about 5am, wide awake! Time difference I recon. It was nice though, the sun came up at about 6 and we went down for breakfast - see pics of my noodles! The hotel we're in is really nice. The air con is amazing and the water is hot.
We decided it'd be a good idea to find this wonderful beach, so we headed out at about half 7 and walked up the beach for hours. Then we made the mistake of heading onto the main road for a bottle of water and couldn't find the way back for ages... we asked a kid sat at the side of the road where the beach was and he pointed down a little alley. Ten minutes later we found a dead end! Little rascal! The walk was really nice though.
Anyway back in Kuta we tried out the pool which is nice. We got a big meal each and a couple of drinks for 100,000 rupiahs, about 7 quid. The food dishes were all about 2 pound, they make their money on cans. Jet lag kicked in and we slept for a few hours and woke up for tea.I felt really weak before, so I put it down to 2 days without chocolate! So I had a massive drink of coke and feel much better.
I don't think we'll be going out tonight, there was a huge downpore going on this last hour and we don't fancy a drenching. We'll have a few beers and work out how to get to the Gili's. The tourist boat is 20 times more expensive than the public ferry...! Less than 1 pound each on the ferry :-) The hotel staff were talking to us about Gili, one of them was born there. He said the accomodation's nice, and all under 100,000 rupiah's. He told us the views in the morning when you wake up are amazing, and the snorkelling is good! Can't wait.
Well I'm going to go now, will send some skype texts that unfortunately you can't reply to!
Take care everyone! Love Jemma
Ps - Taz has a red nose! Ha!
