Went ti Bali a couple days before xmas to spend some time with a beautifull lady I met there in August of 2005. Got there about 11.45 on Friday the 23rd and as promised my friend Augus from my hotel, and more importantly my girlfriend (feels right just writing that word girlfriend) Ketut was also there and as usual with her big smile.
Once out of the airport and at the hotel it was like times past saying hello to all the staff I now consider my friends. I stay at Camplung Mas hotel in Legian and although its only 2.5 to 3 stars the staff are all 6 star, and make the place what it is, oh to those that have been there it was once called the Ocean Blue club,oh those were the days!!
Well I got settled into my room and Ketut and I went to enjoy an afternoon of shopping, we bought a few things for her teen daughter, I was latter to find out that we made her very happy. That night we went to Nero's reastaurant in Legian st for dinner I think Ketut is just about into western food now and enjoys seafood as she has ordered the same dish I had ordered her on my last trip, mind I don't think I would have it with chilli like she did. As well as having a deep affection for this lady I think we are both teaching each other about our country and customs. This xmas for Ketut will be the first time she has celebrated this feast and I am teaching her about Perth and Australia as much as Ketut has been my guide in Bali. After dinner which the place was quiet but not too bad, on the outside on the streets was very quiet I was so shocked to see Legian street with not much in the way of tourists at all. Once back at the hotel it was an early night after a long chat just talking about what I wanted to get done the next day being xmas eve?
more to follow if people are wanting it!!
