Hiya!
We decided that we’d had enough of Legian and the madness that entails living in the busy touristy part of the island (too many Aussies and Germans – apologies to all our Aussie and German friends). So we decided Posted by bumblebum in Our BIG trip | Aug 19, 2009

Today, Alana and I headed back into Kuta to pick up our suits and do some souvenir shopping. Haggling over every single purchase is exotic and exciting at first, but it gets old very quickly. Posted by amvadamson in We're not 30 Yet! | Aug 19, 2009
