I'm now in the resort town of Kuta & its just that-a big resort. Its pleasant enough & cheap enough but not really my cup of tea & the beach has rubbish, crowded waves. Despite that I've failed to move on to where I think I'll find waves I'll like - Medewi. I've been feeling a bit sniffley & lethargic today which is my excuse for not having moved on yet. Pathetic I know! Hopefully tomorrow I'll rent a motorbike with board carrier & move on up there. At least the waves here have given me a chance to get aquainted with my new board in an easy environment. I like it :-)

One of my readers (probably my only reader, hello mum!) was interested that I found such a difference when I got to Jogjakarta. To explain it I'd say Sri Lanka had a very 'third world/developing world' feeling to it & also felt very 'Indian'. I know that's not the right term but I hope you know what I mean. Maybe 'subcontinental' is the right term but that just sounds like rubbish to me! Jogja had a much more modern & Asian feeling, a bit like I'd imagine a small suburb of Hong Kong or Singapore, if such a thing were to exist.

Oh, I forgot, while at Jogja I visited Borobudur & Prambanann. The first is a mass of Buddhas & the second is a Hindu complex. Both are impressive but again, having seen the temples in Cambodia they compared unfavourably. God I'm spoilt...
