Some Highlights in Bali

I would guess one of Grants highlights would be his surfing school.  Three days in Kutu surfing for almost 3 hours each day.  I think he's ready to try hanging "5"

With all good surfing come some good crashes.

The face is priceless

On the last day of surfing school we joined in on the daily baby turtle release.  They collect the eggs from the beach and move them to a safe environment to hatch.  Once they hatch they release them on the beach and safeguard them to swim back to the ocean. 

 Pretty Cute

 Go turtles go

Grant and I went on the hunt for the black sand beach.  And we found it.

A bit of sea kayaking

And a day of relaxing.  Kelly's new favorite drink, Red bull and Vodka.  Mmmmm tasty.

Comfort zone

Let's just start with a shot from where I am currently working on the blog.




Now that you have an image of our rough day I will move on.

Kelly had a great idea for the next two weeks. We each had to come up with an idea of something to do that was just outside our comfort zone. We had two days to think about it and then present at dinner. The key was the other two had to vote on whether it met the "out of comfort zone" requirement. Following are the agreed and approved upon activities.

Kelly - 8:00am yoga class every morning until we leave on the 27th
Mark - No carb diet for 48 hours, with a 24 hour break after each 48 hour block until we leave. (Day two and I'm not going cray yet)
Grant - He will be our daily blog master. He will be posting our daily activities on his blog at http://blogs.saschina.org/grant01pd2021/ (He is currently working on his first post.)

Day three here in Sanur.
A bit of rain came in whilst we sat by the pool. But do you think it bothered Grant?

Ubud adventures

A bit of an update from Ubud.

Tree top adventures for two. This is our second trip here, it is a great time. Unfortunately the shoulder isn't well enough yet to do this but Kelly and Grant had a blast. Bet the Mitchell's will remember this place.









Lunch afterwards overlooking the fabulous rice paddies.


Then a bit of Balinese dancing to wrap up the evening.





Leaving Ubud and heading for Sanur today.

Location:Jalan Monkey Forest,Gianyar,Indonesia

Mmmm, new food

Who had frog legs for lunch yesterday in Ubud Bali? That's right, we did. Tasted like chicken.






Off to the tree top adventures and the temple in the ocean today, then back to the beach in Sanur tomorrow.

Bali

Summer school came to a close Friday July 13th and we were on the plane at 6:30pm heading for Bali. Arrived just after midnight Bali time and grabbed the shuttle to the resort, 1 of 6 (Mirage Resort) we are staying at.  No wifi until today at resort 2 of 6 (Seminyak Village Resort & Spa)

Dude ready for the pool/beach

On the pier

True Indonesian food.  Yummy.  No kimchi

Monday was a day exploring.  After a short snorkel it was off to Turtle Island.

Then to Uluwato Temple.  What a great view.
