BALI - Finally

We came to Bali late at night, cause our flight was delayed. A bunch of taxi drivers were waiting for customers in front of the main entrance.  They were trying to persuade people to give them a ride, offering the best price, being quite annoying. People here try to make money on every occasion. We were two girls, I was a bit scared, because we had no plan where to sleep, or what to, it was late in the night... Scaryyyyy ....
In our guide we read something about a place "Poppies 2" (should be a street with accommodation, bars etc.  near the famous party "place" Kuta, which is close to the airport). We just decided to go there. We found a nice guesthouse and stayed over night. We could not wait to see the beach so the next morning ... actually it was midday, we for a swim and a sunbath. The Kuta beach was a big disappointment - it was dirty and crowded, the sea was full of rubbish (I eve saw some sneakers swimming next to me) - simply an opposite of the "Bali dream" (We heard that the sea pollution is due to the rubbish coming from Java).

Of course, the first day we got a sun-stroke. In the evening we started to feel really bad. We were walking through the streets in our surrounding and started to feel dizzy and really sick. It was a nightmare -  all the street sellers were asking something (no idea what), everything was smelly and .... just like a bad dream.
We came home and felt immediately asleep . The next day was not any better, but we knew we had to leave the place otherwise it would drive us crazy. We came to place called Sanur. There, we were sleeping all day long. Today we felt finally better and spent few hours on the beach. We were scared not to get sun-stroke again, so we were cowered with our scarves, sunglasses and hats - we looked just ridiculous (especially Lula with her white Crocks shoes - sorry for that -). Locals were shouting at us: Salam aleikum !!!  LOL :D

feelin better again
