About the boat trip had freind telling that he was over in Bali for a Footy end of year trip and they all had bikes etc.
One day trying to get everytone up he took off on his own and headed for Benoa and then Sunar looking for someone to take him for a trip in a small fishing boat just to look at the Island from the water.
Meet this guy on the beach who's boat was on the shore small long fishing boat, said he would take him for a trip. Anyway off they went motoring around and he ask him where he was from and he said Lombok, want to go there and meet my family not knowing where lombok was he said ok. So 10 hrs later they land on the shores of Lombok, anyway 1/2 way he stops and starts fishing telling him he needed to bring home some food,he said the seas where rolling bailing out water and this guy couldn't care just kept fishin. to cut it short he spent 3 days there had the people on Bali thinking he had drowned cause his bike was found near the beach at sunar and he was not to be found. Police doing a hunt of the area looking for him. He turned up 3 days later in the same boat and said he had the best time living with this guys family on Lombok and the only problem was he had no money left so had to stay there work with the family to pay his way back.. Only in Bali i guess
