Right, in our Minivan adventure from Kuta (Lombok), those 4 guys (Leon, Andy, Mick and Lisa) decided to get the boat back to Kuta while we went for a few days in near by Senggigi. A place with apparently amazing sunsets, a nice beach and a fair bit of live music. Well it amazing but it was a hell of a lot better than Kuta (L).
Getting there around 6pm in falling rain, we yet AGAIN struggled to find accommodation, but we ended up staying the night in a little gangsta run establishment named 'Ray's Hotel'. There you go Phil, they even named this place after you, shame there was no purple rain tho!!!!!!!
Yeah pretty knackered from 3 days previous drinking we went out for dinner at Warung BBQ which was pretty sweet, having steak for dinner and discovering the mighty 'I love Cow' t-shirt we then caught a few tracks and a beer at a pub doing live music before heading back for what we thought might be an early night. No chance! Ray's Hotel was right next door to possibly the worst and loudest Karaoke bar ever...... talk about Murder on the dance floor!
Up early or should I say still awake from the night before and we were again looking for new accommodation. At least the breakfast and view were good from Ray's as not much else was!!!!!! Yeah so we rocked up at Raja's Bungalows, let me tell you, so much better here and they even had a funky outdoor bathroom. Sweet!
Catching up on our sleep we awoke around lunchtime. Grabbed some food then went walking around town, over and beyond hills, dodging animals and even getting tanned. Thank god we brought water as man was it hot today. Anyway returning again knackered, we slept once more, chilled out and went out for a great Indo dinner of Nasi Campur and Nasi Goreng. Look those bad boys up and cook away, they were good. Then back to the same place for live music once more. Hopefully once we were done this time, sleep wouldn't be a big issue, thank god, Jo slept like a log.... lazy git!! and I went into reception and watched the Man Utd v Sunderland game in someones front room with a crowd of locals walking in and out. Weird.
Last day here and we just cruised around, found somewhere to watch the Arsenal game later, beached it up and caught possibly the best sunset yet from a cute little temple called Batu Balong. The sky was an amazing red and the volcano and palm tree scene under it just added to the magic. Same dinner, same place and then the same pub for live music and beers before going to find the Arsenal game and watch them smash Blackburn 6-2. great day, great times!!!!!
Up early in the morning and after some strange bargaining techniques from the locals where they went up in price instead of down and we were on our way to getting the ferry back to Kuta (Bali). No shitty speedboat this time guys!!!!!!!
