The Cellar - Bali, Indonesia

allrighty... so i think i had a great time, although i have mixed feelings from my holiday.. some things were absolutely awesome, beautiful, CHEAP and amazing! Others really disturbed me, ya know the dirt, poverty and disgusting vulgarity and desperation of the balanise people. the first two days i was like.. OMG what have i done? i want to go home NOW!! argh!!

But about day 3 i guess i climatised a little and started to really enjoy myself..

went to the AMAZING hot springs, monkey farms, rode through the forests, went to the volcano, went to the big lake and up the kuta mountain, went to the waterfall (couldnt believe there were annoying little hagglers EVEN on the mountan side!! amazing) we went to all the farms and rice terraces, poppies lane, the memorials, had lunch at this guys house who was at the bomings and he showed us all his photos and stories was heaps sad, yeah and we stayed at the Paradiso which was a 6 star hotel and oh my goodness i have never stayed in a place so incredible.. just beautiful!! we had our own servents, and gorgeous lagoon and amzing rooms.. was just the best.

Things that got me down a bit were the begging, the vulgarity of the people (offering s@x, p0rn, drugs and worse).. one shop we went into were were offered s@x with the woman we were talking to/ buying bag from but when we refused the guy offered himself, then his son.. who looked about 3 years old. we were disgusted and i wanted to go home then and there!! it really opened my eyes to what people will do for money when they are desperate. i really hated the way they called you "boss" and "darling" and touched you. i felt lik ei was opressing them.

But all in all i am really glad i went as it was defo a memorable experience, we brought an indonesian language book and dean studyied it on the plane and also learnt a lot of language from our new bali friends, the indo's were astouded by how well dean could speak indo.. they kept saying "how do you know so much? did you do a course? are you from java??" HAhah it was funny oh well i guess he is good for something after all huh!!

they had these wrap up pants they had for sale there= OMG i fell in love with them and got like, every colour and pattern availiable.. i never want to take them off!! i also brought the entire luggage set of the louis vuitton cherrys set (big bags, little bags, wallets purses everything!!) and heaps of clothes, jewellery and carvings.. just heaps of stuff we brought back 3 bags each!!

My favourite part of the holiday tho was definately just relaxing in the sun, drinking cocktails and having a swim whenever i wanted!!! Ahhhhhhhhh paradise...
