Hello from Bali blog fan. Five days in to the holiday and I have a few observations to share with you on Bali.
Boy oh boy does stuff happen quick out here. Last time I was in this part of Bali (just over two years ago) you had to get petrol from a bloke selling it in milk bottles from the back of his restaurant while chain smoking clove cigarettes.
Now there are brand new service stations everywhere and they pour the petrol for you just like they did in Britain in the 80's. Quite a luxury I can tell you.
The other thing that was quite eye opening is the amount of people traveling with laptops. Not unusal in itself but what is surprising is that from 5 star tourists to dreadlocked backpackers they are all sat around tip-tapping at there keyboards whether they be by the pool or at the beach. Just seems weird to be at beach and be on Facebook at the same time.
Speaking of Facebook I saw the 'Social Network' on the plane. Naughty Mark Zuckerburg, naughty.
And the surf? Its pretty good, not classic but whole lot better than putting on a dripping wet wetsuit and shaking the ice out of your booties.
