Why is it kids always know what not to eat with there dog-like instincts and adults don’t listen to theirs; afterwards they say “I know exactly what it was that made me sick”! In my case it was the deserted restaurant at the top of Uluwatu, and the Chicken Sate, which was less than fresh! Ewwww! So after an uncomfortable, delayed day with Bali Belly, it was a relief to get on with our travels.
We were both a bit nervous and excited as this would be our first adventure out to find the next village wherever and lodging and carrying our packs on the spicy bike. We made a good decision and left a third of our, not really needed, stuff at Hotel Puri Bambu along with passports/tickets/back-up credit card we could go back for if necessary.
Our packs were now much lighter though Morgan still felt unstable behind my pack while wearing hers so in the end we attached mine to the bike right in front of me. This seemed a little scary for making slow turns but we have since worked out the details in how it's strapped on.
I wish I had picked up that left-hand mirror after all. These two lane roads are very exciting
without one. It's nice though, to use the horn whenever I like without seeming rude. Basically a
horn is used right before someone invades someone else’s driving space. I am getting used to cars
and huge trucks passing me in MY lane, or sharing it with two other bikes....
Arriving in Sanur the beach town seemed more deserted and quiet than I would like. Got a coffee and a great tip on a Homestay (Yulia’s) that came with a cute, tan puppy named "Joe Jo" whom we took to the beach for a walk only to discover more puppies and why the Balinese believe evil spirits have something to do with the dogs! The little bugger got off of it's chain and took off romping down the beach and when I finally grabbed him, he bit me!
