Hi folks, here's a quick update while I'm back in civilisation (Well, Kuta) for 2 minutes:

I got a bike & razzzed up to Medewi on it. Initially I hated it, dirty water, weak wave, crowded, etc. etc. Then I began to get the hang of it & stayed for about 2 weeks.

I finally left for 'Dreamland' 2 days ago. Dreamland is a picture-perfect white beach at the bottom of some cliffs. It has beach-front super-basic 'Losmen' (guesthouses), one of which I'm staying at. No electricity, shared squat-toilet, waves running right up to the door... It also has a wave that only works around low tide so I'm hurrying to get back there for today's wave!

I should write about the folk I'm meeting along the way but not today, somebody remind when I'm bored!

Injuries: Many grazes on shins, knees & ankles from rocks at Medewi; Big bruise on right wrist & graze on right shin from landing on (& cracking) my board (6' 10", Fen!); Cut toes from reef at Dreamland.

Other stuff... ummm... going to 'Kunti' for Sushi lunch. Apparently expensive by Indo standards, cheap by UK & tasty tasty tasty by both.

Cheers for your comments folk.. catch you later :-)
