Hey up!
We've been away for a few days! Firstly we headed inland to Ubud which is the cultural and artistic centre of Bali! Wow, what a place! I could live here, for a little while at least!!! So pretty, but a tad too touristy for my liking. Filled of idiots, oh well, no place can be perfect! Had a lovely day at Studio Perak where we tried our hands on silver-smithing! I made a pendant with Moonstone and Col forged the One Ring. Really good fun! So many nice things in the shop too! Ooooohhhh! If only I'd had more time! Just couldn't decide on what to buy! Almost got killed by an ozzie woman who was also doing the course. She was trying her outmost to bore me to death! Dam!
After Ubud and a Culture Show, we headed to the coast again: Tulamben on the east side of Bali for some much needed Scuba diving! So cool to do it again! The first dive was on a wreck from the 2nd World War (US LIberty ship). It was amazing! It only completely sunk in the 60s when there was a massive volcano eruption in the area and since then coral and fics have taken over the place! Magic! Saw some cool stuff and even a turtle, lucky us! The second dive was along a Coral Wall, now this is what I call spectacular!! As we first entered the water we came across another wall, a school of Jackfish (pretty big silvery fish), There were so many it was like they were the wall! Had a bit of fun trying to get into the water on both of these dives cos we started off from land and just walked in... and there were waves! Big ones!!! Hhehe!
Oh, and before we went to Ubud, did I mention we went horse riding?!?! Along a black sanded beach, through some villages, along rice fields and through a river!!! We're spoiling ourselves a little! Were meant to go quadbiking tomorrow, but haven't got enough time. Have to leave it for the UK and maybe Col's bro's will come along too.
