We had the first two nights in Kuta but it is a bit too hectic of a place to stay for long. We headed only a short distance out of the main resort to Legian. Still Kuta beach but a lot more relaxed.
The waves have been small but the water is so warm. It's like being in a bath.
It's the rainy season and when it rains it hammers it down. It does this everyday sometimes for only half an hour then its nice again. To be honest its so warm you are usually glad of it.
Dan and John have journeyed off to find bigger waves but unfortunately their first taxi drive out proved fruitless (or waveless). they are on the hunt for junkungs (small boats which take you to the waves), later. It's very cheap here yet can be difficult to stay to budget. Most things are imported and therefore not cheap in supermarkets. We have been so used to free accommodation it has been nice yet pricier to stay in hotels. the main cost is the transport to get to other places. You could hire a moped but its suicide so we will not be doing that. The roads and traffic are crazy. Eating out is cheap though we manage to pick up a meal for around £2. Nasi Goreang a local fried rice, chicken and egg dish being a favourite so far.
James and Simian arrive tomorrow and we are looking forward to seeing them.
