Meeting Cody in Canggu Bali
Saturday afternoon I rode out to Canggu, largely because I was bored and wanted to get out of the concrete jungle. My destination was the Beach House at Echo Beach in Canggu.
The Beach house gives you a comfortable beachside location from which to enjoy good food and drinks. I sampled a couple of Storm brewings offerings an made a few sms’s. One of those people who answered was Cody, from Oklahoma. He just got back 24 hours ago and we caught up. Cody said that he and his business partner Jeff, are thinking of moving closer to town (Seminyak). Right now they have a nice villa in Canggu, which is cool, but they would like to be closer to the action. Cody said they have several different eating options in Canggu, but would like a situation like me, where within a minutes bike ride I’ve got a hundred different places.
Always interesting to hear what other people have to say about living in Bali. Cody said living in Canggu means you have to make an effort to go out at night, seeing as its a drive. That means also that you don’t meet as many people as you would like.
At 6′ 3″, Cody initially chose a Honda Tiger as his means of transport. That’s a decent sized bike fior him. Now he’s on a scooter, and told me that the Tiger, although having twice the power, wasn’t so useful. It costs more to rent, you can’t go fast in traffic no matter what you’re riding, sometimes he cold not pass on the inside like scooter could, because he was too wide, and there is zero storage. My Supra Fit has a bucket sized hole I can put my poncho and other stuff in.
Cody told me his second cousin is a guy named Karl Mecklenberg, a famous former American football player with the Denver Broncos.
I told Cody I’d help him look for a new place to live in my area.

Yes he did mention you forgot about your plane, Jeff. He also said “We gotta get that ol’ boy a girlfriend.”
Don’t worry, we’ll organise a bqq and I’ll get Ika to invite 10 of her friends, making sure they are all freindly.
Hi Nick
love your page, read it most days. When I 1st travelled to Bali (1987) there were no web pages to stay in touch with. I will be back in March for 2 weeks with my 3& 5 yrs old s + hubby. I think this is my 17 0r 18th trip up there I have lost count. I really should by some property and call it my holiday villa. Anyway enough of the crap, I am really interested in hanging out/eating at the Beach House this holiday. Are any nights better than others? Do I need to book dinner or is it really that quiet that I can just walk in? Look fwd 2 your reply and would love to meet up for a chat when when we get there.
Cheers, Ali
ps Jevon is so handsome, love your pics of him
Karl Mecklenburg I think played for the Broncos and kicked some arse for a few years. Wonder what he is up to now? nice one nick.
The Beach House is greaon Sunday nights. They do a nice bbq and get a decent crowd. Don’t need to book.
I’ll tell Jevon he has fans.
Nick, a BBQ sounds like a reasonable plan to me.
Did Cody also mention that I missed my flight back to Bali by two days?
