    Day 10
    We slept in today and at around 11am Emma and I walked to a local coffee shop to get breakfast and do some travel planning on our laptops. We worked for about 2 hours or so and then went to the hostel to get our bathing suits on. We walked around town checking out the markets to do some shopping and then went to a restaurant to grab lunch. After eating we went to Potato Head Beach Club, a beach club right on the beach with day beds you can rent and 2 pools to swim in. We decided not to get a bed because it had a minimum spending amount but looking back we totally should have gotten one. We were lucky enough to grab a table right next to one of the pools with a view of the ocean. It is a high end place so the drinks and food are expensive compared to other places in Bali but really no different than the prices either of us were used to paying at home. We spent the afternoon sipping on fruity drinks and treating ourselves, these types of places you don’t go to too often on a backpackers budget. We ordered a snack and were really looking forward to seeing a beautiful sunset over the water but all we got was a cloudy gray sky. On our way back to the hostel it started pouring and we stopped at a convenient store to get tallboys and cups of noodles for dinner. We planned on having a calm night in (I had to get up early the next morning to go to the airport) but some of the girls in the hostel said that one of the bars was doing FREE drinks from 9pm-11pm. We couldn’t pass this up so we finished eating and shared a cab with one of the groups going. When we got there we waited in line for them to take our temperature before going in (this was the first time experiencing this since corona happened). There was a bar on the main floor and when you went upstairs it was a nightclub with a DJ. We had a lot of fun dancing and meeting new people, and the drinks were really good and strong. We stayed out until about 11:30pm and took a cab back to the hostel and I finished packing my bags.Read more
