Cyclonic Intestines 😜

Apparently there is a cyclone off the coast of Bali and we are experiencing some strong winds… Personally, I may be experiencing some strong winds myself… Let’s leave it at that LOL 😝
But, in true Traveller-style I have hit the problem head on with some extremely helpful Loperamide 💊 and continue to experience all this fine Island 🏝 has to offer! A once in a lifetime experience must not be tarnished by bodily functionality 🤭

Wandered around the back streets of Kuta today and stopped off to have a Bintang in some funky little establishments… all the haggling got a bit full on after a while so we dropped into Jamie Oliver’s Bali joint for some pizza 🍕 and local wine 🍷
Topped of a delicious meal with Pana Cotta topped with espresso martini sauce and Amaretto crumbs! Yum Yum Yum… 🤤

We all fell victim to some confusion in bartering with all the 1000’000s! It takes some practice to master the art when AUD$1 = 10,000 RPI! As a direct consequence, I now have a bucket hat covered in fruit 🍉 for way more than it’s worth but Tish probably paid twice as much as that… but, hey, all’s fair in love & war when the proprietor needs the dosh more than us!
It’s the memories that are priceless
