The Pains of Bali!

We'll I have some bad news for myself as it turns out my surfing expidition was cut short due to an unforseen major infection in one of my 3 reefcuts. I've been to the hospital for the past 5 days getting pill's and antibiotic shots, it used to be once a day for the first 2 days now i'm up to a shot every 8 hours the shots themselves are comming in at a whopping 1,000,000 rp. I'm not staying in kuta so I have to drive to and from dreamland on my scooter every 8 hours which is about a half an hour trek both ways although there are some fun hill's it's safe to say as any true ferenc or jennings especialy " CJ" that the rental scooter has taken it's fair share of some serious off road beatings. Below my knee to half way down my foot in inflammed in red and the size of a pumkin,,, i'm getting pumped full of so much drugs,,,now it's time to relax and have a laugh at robbie and the kid's. P.S the ocean shore break swolled my second frisbee, which sucks because we need it for the beach olypics although I think we can swap to the cocanut toss!!!!

In Bali!!!

We'll i've landed in Bali, what I can I say it's everything you would expect and more. When I got off the plane the customs agent wanted Canadian money from me for him, he was sitting in the little box from 1962. Jerry picked me up at the airport to my suprise he had rented a scooter and to even more of a suprise my surfboard and big back pack and 2 fully grown men fit on the scooter. Ahhh lets see road rules it's simple there are none an absolute canundrum. Kuta is a crazy place much like Mexico in the sense of there are lots of Hawkers, Popies lane one and two are pretty full on, I stayed in Popies 2 it's close to the main drag where are the clubs are. Close to Bounty the most popular club for travelers was the site of the 2002 Bali bombs it's just an empty lot now and next to it there is a big memoreal. It went off the first couple of nights in kuta then it was off to see the thunderous reef breaks.
Bali is know for having perfectly shaped waves and its true, i'm staying in dreamland right now which is really fun away from everything just huts on the beach waves and cool people from all over the world. I surfed my first single overhead wave the other day probably one of the scariest things i've ever done, when you paddle your ss off and don't make it and your at the top one a single overhead wave it seems like it's 12ft straight down to the bottem of the wave, when you get caught on the inside so infront of the wave and it breaks just infront of you, you have to hold on as tight as you can and duck dive 12 ft of white wash and hopefully you don't get burried and these are the small waves, there are world class waves here although this is the low season, Ulawatu, Green Balls, Impossibles impressive to watch impressive to sit on the shoulder and watch these mountains chase people. we'll I'm off time for some Nasi goreng.
