Friday 29 July – To Bali!




Current location: Bali Bali Bali!
11.11pm, In a bar in Bali! I flew here this afternoon to meet my friends Mia, Gaz, Em, Zoe and Jac, who'd been here for a week already and I was in holidaaaaaay mode!!! I've been to Bali once before, when I was 11, so this was a pretty different kind of trip. We sat around the pool in the evening, with a Bintang (beer) until the sun went down, then most of us went off for dinner (a couple of the girls had already succumbed to Bali belly, eek!). I had a yummy chicken satay mix, with loads of lovely treats (rice and salads etc) then, all feeling pretty tired out, we went out for one drink. It turns out 'one drink' in Bali is the same as 'one drink' everyone else – ie, it doesn't exist.

We went to a bar called Rumours, which was as bad it sounds – when Justin Bieber came on, all the staff stopped and reluctantly did a choreographed dance – so after a couple of drinks, we moved on to Zappaz. Which in theory was also pretty terrible, but in practice was actually amazing! Mia, Gaz and I got on the margaritas, then got on the dancefloor, and made friends with a Helen Mirren lookalike and her mates, who were killing it on the d-floor. They wouldn't do a conga line with us though :(
We got home at about 2am, had a swim in the pool, and went to bed. Bali is great!
