KL to Bali. What a shit journey! A bumpy flight, being refused our 'paid for' in flight meal by the ugly stewardess and having to share my seat with a fat guy who was spilling over from his.
Once at the airport negotiating transport to Kuta's energetic heart was even more of a hassle. After a flow of constant lies about there being no bus from thee airport we decided to get a haggled down taxi who after a five minute ride proceeded to chuck us out in the middle of nowhere in the pitch black because he couldn't handle the traffic. My god what is wrong with these people??!!
Four hours later and with time evaporating rapidly it was 11.30pm. Panic was setting in as the we eventually realized that we would not have accommodation for the night. I mean we hadn't even had the luxury of seeing a room, let alone rejecting any. we did however get one offer, 30 pounds each to stay the night in someones shed of a room. Er no thanks!
Anyway with no other option we decided head to a 24 hour sports bar called 'Sportszone' for the night in the hope that 5 games of Premiership football and several coffees later we would actually stay awake. Kicked out at 4am for closing - i thought it was 24/7?? - and by now we kind of knew that a combination of Ramadan and Australian spring break was forcing us to leave our destination and find a new home in the form of Ubud. A little quieter town further north. At least we might actually be able to get a room to sleep there!
Anyway waiting the next 2 hours until the bus arrived at 6am, we scoffed as many chocolate bars, crisps and energy drinks down us as possible making sure our eyelids didn't shut. Although this was a hard process for a self proclaimed 'fitness fanatic' like myself ;), it was rather a funny scenario as we watched many tourist and locals stumbling out of clubs and bars, with even one guy crashing his moped into a tree, reversing it out and carrying on to weave down the road. Hilarious!
Really hating our few hours here, even vowing never to return, overall I feel it was just the factor of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. i mean it couldn't be that bad could it??
