Terry & Rod: Bali regulars

Sunday morning there was a knock on my door, familiar voices outside, not exactly Cockney, but something similar. It was Rod and Terry from Melbourne. They are in Bali for a week and are in high spirits. Rod & Terry could perform as a double act if they ever wanted too, one makes a funny comment, the other knocks it flat with ihs responce, I’m just a spectator.

Without blowing the guy’s plans, I’ll say they are eager to get out of the Kuta area and see some more of the land including north and East Bali. Relaxation is key so hiring a car might be more stress than they want (even though its actually not that stressful). Perama bus might fit Rod & Terry’s needs, as it has a handy office on lower Jl. Legian and stops at Candi Dasa, Ubud and Lovina.

Ika, Jevon and Ningrum returned from the beach and Ika made us all a cup of coffee, using a tea set she had “where did mum’s tea set come from?” I said. Rod & Terry said that after only being in Bali 4 months ago, Kuta looked the same, with no change in the shops or the people. I reckon these 2 need to get out into East Bali, find a comfortable guest house in a village and drink tuak with the locals. That’s where its at, great scenery, Balinese traditions and a slower more peaceful lifestyle. You can always find the scene in Kuta / Seminyak if you want it. I’ll catch up with them next week and hear all about it (with photos).
