Bali has numerous surfing breaks, and as any good surfer will know, the best breaks are down on the Bukit. The Bukit Peninsula is the ‘upside down mushroom’ shaped chunk of land at the southern end of the island. Its mostly reef breaks and this afternoon I went to have a look at Padang Padang.

My mixed juice took about 15 minutes to arrive and during that period a couple of vendors tried to persuade me to buy a t-shirt or get a massage. The juice was a thick mixture of banana, papaya and something else and was okay for 8,000rp. This is one of the cool things about Bali [...]
