Culinary adventures…

I was going through my photos the other day and realized that the majority of my photos consist of food! So here’s a little food/drink diary of the trip so far…

Rice + chili chicken out of the back of some guy’s bike. $0.40 each
Rosalyn + passion fruit @ the buffet breakfast of Hotel Ramayana
Nasi campur (rice + whatever you select) @ Stop Mayan something. Lunch was $2.35
Bread Talk – a delicious bakery. One of my fav things there? A pastry filled with banana and chocolate and covered in cheese. $0.70 each

Saffron roasted chicken @ Ku De Ta. $27

The aftermath

So after my little accident yesterday, we decided to relocate to Kuta. Why? Kuta is pretty much tourist central and everything (food, shopping, entertainment, spas) is within walking distance, eliminating the need for a bike. Also, the internet connection here is much faster and more reliable (hence the photo upload). Our new place is a little older than our previous one but is clean and has AC as well. After all the drama of yesterday, I think a “masagE” is in order!

Damaged goods

Ugh.. so apparently it’s quite difficult to learn how to ride a bike! During my education this morning, I crashed into 2 cars and flipped over the handles!!!!!! I have a 5 inch gash on my left arm, a deep 3 inch gash below my left knee, road rash and numerous other scrapes and bruises. Ouch.

Not sure what I’m going to do if I can’t ride a bike. There’s no public transport here and relying on taxis or renting a car/driver will burn through cash. An option might be to move back to Kuta where everything is within walking distance??

Dang, who would have thought it was so hard?
