hi again from bali latest on weather its still overcast most days rained all the way to Ulawatu yesterday then hot sunny weather its still a lot cooler for this month than usual.Lot of balinese are suffering from the flue a few tourists have been struck down with same strain so if coming get stuck into vitamin c 1000gm.Surf was pumping at Ulus today its so big on legian beach have to wait till it settles down before venturing in.Prices have gone up a bit when bargaining hearing sad stories everywhere of out of work husbands and not much work going for the balinese most places shops and spas are keeping minamal staff on.Had massage and body scrub traditional style at swasedeena(think thats the spelling) spa in rum jungle rd amazing for about $12.00 ,last couple years had staff of 10 now only 3 work when called in try this place and get away from the fancy spas you will love it.Seems to be pockets of people in places like poppies lanes ,kuta but still quiet.they are digging up roads everywhere in legian seminyak a hassles to get around these poor guys work with a pick only and are paid 25,000rup per metre so work gets done really fast.Out of the 11 travelling with me have had 4 down with bali belly at different times and places so food oviously not getting turned over as quickly.planes are still coming in totally full and leaving that way so where is everyone?Well still loving bali and these beautiful people.Cant wait to go home(only joking)
