Seminyak

The Bali 8 are finally together. Kay and Ian have been joined by Marg and Les (came with us last year), Maxine and Ben (Bali virgins), Bernie and Bob (surfies and Bali lovers from way back), all are friends from Torquay. We're at Seminyak where the beautiful people hang out - think amazing hotels and restaurants close by a surf beach that goes for miles. We sit on the beach in beanbags under colourful umbrellas and watch the sunset as we down a $2 beer. There's a constant parade of locals selling sarongs, kites, watches, jewellery etc, but they're not too insistant and soon wander on. Dinner is close by as Kay is still hobbling (a trip to the very efficient hospital confirms no break) and Bob can't see too well at night. The food is delicious with lots of variety from westernish to veryspicy, and at $10-20 a couple no one is complaining, despite needing torches to read the menu! A $1.10 magnum is a good dessert. Jealous yet?!
