Quiet times

The last few days have been pretty quiet – we’ve settled into a pretty good routine. Wake up, head to the internet cafe, eat, bum around, eat, get massages, eat, watch movies and eat. On Friday we did manage to head to Legian for drinks @ Macarroni and dancing at VIP/Paddy’s. We even hit up Bali Rock Bar and a karaoke bar on Sunday – real adventurous I know. Rosalyn leaves on Saturday so there’s a high probability that we’ll be doing some more sightseeing and re-visiting some other places (aka. Babi guling in Ubud). It’s a hard life but someone’sgotta do it…

The half-time show @ Paddy’s… lol

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!
