5am touchdown. 11 degrees 🙁

Met a gal from South Wales at the airport. Got the bus to the centre togevs. Went to the hostel, can’t check in until 2pm, no nap for me. Left my bag and went to maccies for brek. Strolled until we could stroll no more.

Messaged NZ mate to come and entertain me. Took him all morning to source a car. Got a free doughnut in the meantime.

Picked me up just before 2 and drove to north shore for fish and chips on the beach surrounded by some of the nicest houses I’ve ever seen. Absolute goals.

Drove to Mount Eden for some mad views then got ice cream on the way back.

Watched a film. Dunno how I’m still awake. Drove me back to my hostel. Get me in that bed.

I’m sure my sheets weren’t fresh 🤔 didn’t stop me sleeping til like 11:30.

Went out to the supermarket. It rain. Found a chocolate orange, only $9 😳😒 guess I still won’t be having one.

Got myself a ciabatta, avocado and Camembert (and Malteser reindeer 😋), came back and there’s no bloody grill 🙄

Super bored afternoon in the common area with no one talking.

Finally stopped raining so I went for a walk through some nice parks to the war museum. Not paying attention walked headfirst into a tree. Classic.

Not interested enough to pay to go in the museum so just strolled around the gardens and cute lil duck pond.

Bit more strolling along the harbour then got maself some salmon in the supermarket for din.

More super noisy dickheads in my room, pooing disgustingly and flushing like 5000 times and going in and out the room at 5am.

Packed ma stuff and left my bags in the hostel while I went to explore the shopping mall. Bought myself a top. Oops. Still had an hour to kill so chilled in Starbucks. Saw the first sign of Christmas 🎄

Went to say goodbye to my beach pals. Told one of them I walking to the airport so he called me a cab and paid for it lol.

4:30pm depart for NZ. Today’s in flight entertainment is the good dinosaur. Three seats to myself 👌🏼

Coffee slid off my table and went all over my leg. Ouch.

Go to the worlds second best waterpark or pick up other people’s rubbish off the beach 🤔

Rubbish it is. Got a bin bag from hostel reception and roped Tatiana into coming to the beach with me. Started picking crap up and two random Chinese people joined in and people from the beach bars came down with their rakes to help.

Got as far as Videl’s mate and he gave me two hours surf for the price of one for my good deeding.

Chilled on the beach afterwards and saw some more people litter picking so joined in and half the beach joined too. Started a trend.

Came back to the pool for a bit before going to see the sunset again. Columbia left so went by myself.

Saw the surf dudes again and they called me over and gave me free beer. Met a Chinese gal as well who came to dinner with me. Surf dudes took us to the restaurant on their bikes. Tuna steak and fried banana 🤤

Walked back to the hostel where they said they would pick me up at 10 to go out out. Vdog not replying to come with 😒

Luckily they never showed up.

Super noisy people in the room at like 7:30am rustling about and having a convo when one was in the shower and the other was on her bed. Not impressed.

Went for a wander to find somewhere to hire a surfboard. Came back and waited for my dinner pals to come with. Had to wait for one to finish a cooking class before we could go.

Hired boards off Videl’s mate. Two hours surfing. Tired.

Went to Hard Rock Cafe for lunch/dinner. Was more expensive than the amazing restaurant last night 😳 Indian dude paid again. Awks.

Afterwards he left for Ubud. Me and Columbian went to watch the sunset on the beach. Picked up a plastic bottle out the sea- good deed for the day. So much rubbish on the beach, feel like going along with a black bag picking it up but don’t wanna be judged.

Bought an anklet off a woman hassling people on the beach. £1 what a barg. Will probs break in two days.

Back to the hostel. In bed at 7:30pm, making the most of Kuta’s well known night life.

Had ma banana pancake then said goodbye to the twins and made my way to the harbour. Got the boat back to Bali then a shuttle to Kuta Beach.

Got out the car and walked around the block for ages trying to find the hostel. Asked four different people, eventually found it. V nice, beds have colour coding so you have your own little compartments everywhere and a curtain across the bed.

Pool has hammocks in it.

Went for a wander to explore. Found a cool temple but couldn’t go in cos dressed inappropriately. Also found some kind of important tomb.

Went in a few outlets on a rash vest hunt. No luck.

Back to the hostel where I met two roomies. Gal from Colombia and dude from India. Probs another stalker coming my way 😏

Turns out he’s a bit of a high flyer and his boss had said he’d organise him a driver and pay for his dinner and we could tag along too. Result.

Private driver took us to Seminyak to a super classy restaurant called Bambu. Had the most amazing three course meal and cocktails surrounded by lovely looking pond.

Driver waited outside for us the whole time and then took us back to the hostel.

Oh to be rich.

Chilled by the pool then went to play crazy golf. Joint winner winner with Georgie.

Quick dip in the sea then back to catch some of the pool party.

Went to the north of the island to go snorkelling. Only saw one turt, but lots of cool fish and coral.

Walked all the way to the other end of the island to see the sunset but took too long and then it started raining 🙄 seeked shelter in a bar until it stopped.

Came back to de-scuzz before din and my last night in Jiggy Jigs.

Tour ends. Get up to say bye to Ollie (Gene) and find out Vdog has already gone back to Bali as his mum had a stroke 🙁

Checked into our new hostel. Literally 3 beds right next to eachother separated by a bit of concrete, with just enough room at the end of them to walk down. Has a jumping platform for the pool tho 👌🏼

Chilled by the pool for a while then went for a wander and got some lunch on the beach. Fell asleep on the bean bags. Woke up to some kind of volleyball tournament happening.

Decided I’d be bored here for 5 days so cancelled 3 days of the hostel.

Went for dranks at the sister hostel. Falling asleep, get me to bed.

Sunbathing sesh in the morn.

2pm filled out review forms for the trip and got a free T shirt. Classic.

Kim left so smell free room for moi.

Went paddle boarding but caused mainly stress as spent the whole time trying not to be swept away and then ended up the other end of the beach so had to walk the whole length of the island with the board to return it 😒

Cycled round the island. Whole thing is 7km but a lot of pushing the bike through sand. Posed on a cool swing.

Last night on tour so free din 👍🏼 out out in Jiggys but chose a night off the unlimited drinks 😇

Got chippys on the way home and spilt ketchup all over my dress 😒

Cycled to the boat place and got equipped with flippers and snorkel.

Snorkelled round some statue things under the water. Pretty cool. And then swam with turtles 😍

Stopped on Gili Air for some lunch.

Did some acrobatics off the roof of the boat then it started to rain and got cold so had to come back. Sea was like a hot tub.

Had an amazing jackfruit curry for din and then out out at Jiggy Bar again. Loz should not go unlimited. Have to get my moneys worth.
