Ok so I've been sucked into doing a JBR...Don't know how I will go, but I'll give it a spin. Remember this is coming from the eyes of a 20yr old, who gets sidetracked a lot so hope you can keep up!
We set of from Melbourne on the 24th May flying jetstar. 6 of us, the parents, older brother(26), younger brother(18) and my best mate(20). So the flight went pretty smoothly, I think there was about an hour delay but nothing to bad. It was my best mates first time flying and that was what kept me amused the whole time, she was asking every 2 min's what that noise was, and what's that person doing etc...She had tears on take off, as well as a lot of laughter from myself.
We arrived around Midnight and was straight through and out of there quick fast which was great with 5 of us being smokers. Got picked up by a Agus and his cousin, Bintangs and Mix Max's in hand (or plastic bag). Selamat Datang Di Bali!(welcome to bali!) and off we were to Legian Village Hotel(Joni 1). We arrived there about 1am got out rooms which were up stairs, and by upstairs I'm talking about a s**t load of stairs, especially for them nights we would be out drinking. Anyway back to the story....Chucked the case's in the room, got changed into something a bit cooler and off we went to Maxi Garden across the road from Paddy's and Bounty Ship, Had a bite to eat and a catch up with Agus and by then it was about 3am so time to say goodnight and start fresh in the morning......
So up the next morning, realizing there was to many stairs to our room, we went to reception and got our rooms changed. Actually we got moved to Legian Village Hotel(Joni 2) which is in Garlic lane, basically across the rd and up a bit from Joni 1. These rooms were villa like and really nice and new. 3 rooms at about 200,000 per room per night I think... The rooms were in a great location, for me anyway seeming I spend a lot of time at Billy's just up the road, mini mart on the corner and the very entertaining Hulu's Café out the front(more about that later on, brace your self). Back to the rooms for now.... We had 3 twin rooms(one with the beds together for the olds), very spacey, good bathroom, silly showers where you need to wave the hose around and wonderful water which was either hot hot hot or bloody cold!! Very rarely could you get in the shower and not be jumping about!
Ok so I'm over the room's now..... After changing rooms headed off to rainbows café in poppies 2 for some brekkie, and also sorted out the bikes next door from eddy... 3 bikes for 23 days, one for dad and my 2 brothers...After brekkie, on the bikes and off we go out and about to take it all in. ((Don't really know what we got up to that day, So many days I will be sure to get a lot of things mixed up!)) Down to Samy and Suzi's that afternoon, was really good to see them, they have been family friends for a long while now before I ever ran across this forum. Anywho got down there for the sunset, got the usual do your nails, your hair, watches best Bali watches, I scream you scream we all scream for ice cream. Seen Kimmy, Melissa & Kelly all wanting to to my hair, nails, hands, feet, eye brows....OK girls give me a rest I'm here a long time...Not today...As usual promised Kimmy my nails!!! Heard all about her baby, yes she has a baby... a few months old if I'm not wrong. My best mate was a bit blown away by all the attention but she loved it right away. The look on her face sometimes was priceless, and she was just about as bad as them by the end of it asking to plait everyone's hair!
Off to Posers for dinner that night in Padama, Had the best food.... Ribs!!!! Yum... and cheap! 65,000...also I hear from mum the Kebabs are great too, as well as the deep fried mushrooms. Dinner over and off to Billys, Had been hanging out all day to go see the boys, had been a few years since I had been there last and was really missing them, even though I had been keeping in contact. Got there and seen Gecko, Jack S**t and Benny... Felt good to be home! and then met the rest Billy, Ricky(aka dick head), Nick(aka red fanta), Sam, Eddy and Jimmy...ok so lets get off track again... Ricky or Dick head as we came to call him is from the song get back by the beatles.. He was singing it our first night there and was singing the words dick head instead of get back! Ok so it was very amusing to us at the time, I almost fell off my chair when I heard it! And second myself and my friend felt like a vodka and raspberry... asked Nick for one and he said they had no raspberry and had no idea what we were on about... about an hour later after ordering some other cocktails, out of no where he screamed out red fanta! Yeah ok sorry guys if im boring you all... I did warn I ramble on a lot...oh well I hope I warned you all!!!! Not to much of a late night, think we were back at the room and in bed by 1am...
It was great to see the staff at Billy's again and they will be involved in a lot of this JBR... that's why I thought I'd tell u about them
OK so Im thinking that's enough for now... got so many more days to come...And a lot of Events.... Dads 50th, Brothers getting jumped by a gang at MBarGo, Snakes, Hulu's Café.... Damn there is heaps more!
Cheers people sorry for boring you all
