Not only that, but I rented a motor scooter. The next few days are the island, my Honda Vario, and myself taking on Bali. The first time I got on the bike I managed to not be able to turn it on (you can't turn the key if the kickstand isn't entirely back in place, the parking guard pointed out helpfully) and then I preceded to take an hour and a half to find Suraiya's hostel... which is really only 7 minutes away.
Everything from that point was smooth sailing. I expected the driving to be a little more traumatizing. After all, I'm driving on the left side of the road in the country which has some of the worst traffic in the world. But it all worked out! Suraiya and I took our first little trip up to Tanah Lot and managed to make the hour trip each way without getting lost! By the end of the day I was tackling the traffic like a pro.
Tomorrow I'm taking a surfing lesson and then I'm off to Ubud! Wish me luck for all of the above, I'm hoping to arrive tomorrow safely and with as little struggle as possible. But, in the meantime, until you hear from me again, here's pictures from Tanah Lot!
Bali's absolutely gorgeous. It's no Yogyakarta, but it's a little piece of Indonesia all it's own. I can't wait to explore and see more of it!
