Friday, September 30

I spent the morning and early afternoon walking the beach and sitting by the pool.  Some R & R was greatly appreciated.   In the morning I met a Balinesian man carrying a fish.  He said he fished most mornings and that he often would catch two fish.  Today he had only caught one fish because the water was colder today.

Brightly coloured kayak-type boats the local fishermen use.

I went out for supper with Anja and her surfing friends.  We went to a BBQ on the Jimbaran beach.
There were dozens of restaurants with the tables in the sand.  (Imagine being a waiter carrying large platters in the sand - great leg and calf muscles.)  On the menu at each restaurant was fresh caught sea food.  Each platter of food consisted of a large white fish (possibly like the one I had seen the fisherman with in the morning), prawns, calamari, and shellfish.  The food was delicious!

There was a mixup with my hotel and I had no where to sleep.  I ended up crashing with Anja at the Surfer Lounge in the dorm on a spare bunk bed.
