Nusa Dua, Bali
*”We” = me, my buddy, and his GF.
Wild day in Bali. As it was Saturday, I could finally unplug from my computer and we were off. First, we took a taxi down to Nusa Dua where we did what they call “sea walking” where they strap a big white helmet to your head with an oxygen tube, then you put on a weight belt and go all the way down to seafloor. We brought bread, and a ton of fish came swimming out. Super cool experience, but a bit mellow, so we then did what they call a donut, which is a big inflatable 3-person tube with handles, and a rope attached to a speedboat, and we told the guy not to hold back. He didn’t hold back. We were whipped around to the point where my forearms were about to burst. It was awesome.
We then took an hour-long taxi to what I believe was Keramas Beach — black sand (due to active volcanoes) and the beach was completely empty. It was a brutal beach though — super strong currents, course rocks once you went in past 1 meter, and lots and lots and lots of fine sand particles that I’m still pretty sure are in my hair. Got sunburned but it was a great beach day. Passed out from exhaustion around 10 pm.
Sunday morning we moved hotels from Sanur and now we’re in Kuta, the main area of Bali. Will be here until Friday, when I fly to Singapore. Not much is on the agenda for the week ahead, except for our Fantasy Football League draft on Tuesday, and an early birthday celebration for my buddy.
