So, I've never been to Bali before, and it's kind of spectacular.

Including spectacularly hot and humid. 99% humidity! ARGH!

Last night, we arrived just past midnight, got picked up around 1:30am. Arrived at our hotel around 2:30am. Finally fell asleep some time around 3am.

This morning, we veged. This afternoon we went on a Balinese food tour in Denspasar. Oh boy. We ate and ate and ate and the guy was still suggesting food as we left. Suffice it to say, I'm absolutely stuffed full and I'm pretty sure the tour guy made a motza from herding us around but not having to buy absolutely everything. (That's okay, now that I've taken it, I know where to go and I'm not afraid to order it next time.)

Tomorrow, my travelling companion goes on an early-morning hike up the mountain to see the sunrise. She'll be leaving around 2:30am. And around 9am, she plans to return and we'll go see the Monkey Sanctuary together. And then we have a temple tour, dance, and dinner from 2:30pm until 9pm.

I'm happy to vege out; that's what Australians usually do in Bali, right? Only with more alcohol and less inhibitions. Not that I wouldn't mind a little squidge of alcohol. A nice cocktail would be fantastic.

Aaaaanyway. I should go to bed. Get some sleep after last night. Get some sleep before 'I' wakes up at 2am to go on her hike for the sunrise.

I'm sure it'll be a spectacular sunrise; but I'm okay with not seeing it.

Sunrise hiking on vacation? That's not vacationing.
