    Finding my feet

    12 juillet 2022, Indonésie ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Ive slept like a baby and Ruth and I head for breakfast which is included in the price of the stay here so I take full advantage of it. We then head out for a little explore and make our way down to the beach. We find a couple of deck chairs and make ourselves comfortable and order two coffees. Within seconds we are surrounded by various traders selling everything from temporary tattoos to bracelets . It is relentless and as we try to enjoy our coffee a guy comes and makes himself comfortable by us. It takes a lot for me to be shocked but the mouth on this guy is ridiculous. The C word is used continuously and definitely for a more selective audience. It's funny initially but after a while it gets a bit too much and although I'm enjoying sitting by the beach we decide to head back to the main road and find somewhere to grab a bit of lunch. While we are there I get a message from Bobby saying he wants to fly over as the weather in Langkawi is really bad and his chances of sailing aren't going to materialize as he hoped. Before I know it he's booked a flight and is arriving tomorrow. Ruth and I enjoy a few beers and get chatting to guys from Australia they head home tomorrow but have given us a few recommendations of where to go this evening. As we won't back yet again we are harassed by Street traders it's really very different out here compared to Malaysia but there's also a really nice vibe. Ruth and I sit and chill by the pool for a couple of hours before going for a nanny nap as the plan is to go out a little bit later tonight as things don't really get started here till midnight. The Aussie boys recommended and all you can eat and drink buffet that costs $120,000 rupees which in English money is about 7 quid so just after 7:30 we take the short walk to Lxxy's. When we arrive our bags are thoroughly searched, Ruth even gets her little mini sausage confiscated. At the buffet there is an array of seafood meat skewers salads and pastas and all you can drink at the bar even spirits although they are more like house brands than The real McCoy. We got our money's worth but the bar closes at 9:00 p.m and we decide to make our way to another bar. Cuz we are walking down the street I spot the Liverpool Man United game on in one of the bars so we stop and order a buy one get one free cocktail. I really clever thing is that they put a plastic cup on top of the drinks to stop anybody being able to spike you although there is no one else in the bar but even still is a great idea. I suggest we grab a couple of beers and head back to the hotel to have a couple of games of pool but when we arrive the guy says the pool table is closed for the night so we sit on our balconies having a chat finishing our beers before heading to bedEn savoir plus
