Good morning
everyone! Another bright and early one for me today. I feel amazing. My only
wish is that I had that crisp fresh air to breathe in that Australia gives me,
but then I look at the breathtaking scenery and I forget that.
Another hot one
today. But then again, that is every single day here. Today was the last night
that we were going to be spending in Legion at Melasti Beach Resort. I must say
I was super excited for this because even though the resort we were currently
staying at was nice (the pools, pool bars, view, restaurant and bar were all
lovely) I knew the next place we were due to stay would take my breath away.
But alas, that is not until tomorrow.
Today we set out with
a mission after our morning buffet breakfast and swim. We had to find a very
specific tattoo shop, because that is where Kieran has planned out his whole
tattoo in Bali. We had some rough directions but in these streets that really
just didn’t cut it. We trekked out to the hotel he knew it was near and from
there things just went crazy.
It is extremely hot
and humid out, but there is no point catching a ‘taksi’ (I love their spelling
haha, it just makes so much sense) because traffic is atrocious. It would’ve
taken longer sitting in a car in traffic than it would of walking.
We saw a few pretty
nice looking resorts on the way to Kuta where the tattoo shop is and some
pretty standard stuff you would see at home that amazes me here. We found
Starbucks, Pizza Hut and McDonald’s and even though they are such standard
chain stores at home, it was so cool to see them in another country. McDonald’s
especially, I couldn’t believe how dirt cheap their food was. Makes me miss
cheap Maccas back in Aus (it’s just too expensive now for the shitty food lol).
After about 3 hours
of walking, asking endless people for directions, stopping in every mini-mart
(just like the standards 7/11 back home minus the petrol) for a bottle of
water, stopping at a bar to have a few actual drinks and use their bathroom,
paying some random shop owner 10,000 IDR (aka $1) to use their computer with
internet- we finally found the place!
The place was really
nice for what I thought tattoo joints in Bali would look like and the people
were so friendly. We were there for barely any time at all before we headed
back to our resort.
After a tiring day
where we probably walked for almost 4 hours all up, we went straight for a
swim, because well as per usual we were dripping in sweat.
Some more swimming,
more drinks and some dinner hit the spot really well and we ended our last
night in Melasti Beach Resort with quite an early one awaiting tomorrow’s
adventures.
