Dad's Here!

Heaps has been happening! Which probably means I’ve forgotten half of it.

I’ve been back in Jogja with Dad for 10 days now. Bali was awesome! Stayed with Rocky the first night n then Riri organised a hotel for Dad and I. Was heaps in Kuta, nice place, and cheap as $30 a night.. not bad.. Only had three full days in Bali with dad, but no time was wasted, went around Kuta, Nusa Dua, out to Uluwatu, Rocky’s warung, rented a car and did a day trip up the middle, went to a bunch of places I cant remember the names of… ok got the map… started at kuta, then, Celuk, Mas, Ubud (and monkey forest), Tampaksiring, Batur, Kintamani, Besakih, Klungkung, Kusamba, Sanur and back to Kuta… full day… heaps of fun… you know me… the photos are “coming” haha… if they ever get there… maybe one day I’ll get organised enough to post some again so this page is a bit more interesting… made it out to Tanah lot wich was nice too.. would have been good to get back to Bedugul… so beautiful, but there wasn’t enough time. It was great to take dad around Bali, introduced him to Rocky’s family and showed him where I lived when I came on holidays.

1^st of August headed to Jojga.. so much fog / smog.. it was so much clearer before I left for Bali, dunno what the story is there.. anyway, we’ve been pretty busy almost every day. Already made it to Borobudur, Merapi/Ketep/Maggelang area, saw a waterfall out there (where I fell down a cliff and added yet another few cuts to my leg… don't worry mum, they’re almost healed..) stayed overnight in ketep, freezing by the way, if you’re going up to the mountains, make sure you take a jacket! Next day we unexpectedly arrived at New Selo..(yep… nyasar lagi!) then home for some much needed sleep sleep..

A few days later it was off to Prambanan.. I’d been before, but this time it wasn’t completely fenced off, so we got to see the temples up close and go inside a few of them. That night we decided to go to Kali Code… was REALLY quiet, I think it was a Tuesday or Wednesday tho, so fair enough.. anyways… wanted to introduce dad to the local wer a wer population… we sat down to eat, lesehan on the side of the road, finally one came by and I told her that my dad hadn’t been in Indonesia long, she got down on all fours and asked if she could take him home!! Haha… semuanya bilang aku “sadis! Anak jahat. … tapi lucu!!!!” unfortunately there was no solid photographic evidence, so I’m sure all will be denied.

(for those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about… well… I guess one day you’ll hear those few words “a wer a wer a wer” and you will understand) 

Which brings us to the beach trip.. yesterday (Saturday) Riri, Vando, Tika, Dita, Wawan, Heru, Sean, Kiki, Sinta, Desi, her lil bro, Dad and I went to Wedi Ombo! Once again, we left around 2 hours late (although, I was told the wrong time to begin with… not blaming anyone… VANDO!!!! *Evil laugh*) little disappointing tho, the well had no bucket, or water in it for that matter, the toilets were a lil dirty, and there weren’t enough sleeping mats… I guess we just got luck the first time… but even tho it wasn’t perfect, it didn’t ruin it for anyone. The beach was still awesome.. went back to the same karang ( I dunno what its called in english) to go swimming, wasn’t as deep, but still enough to swim in.. and yes, I added to my collection of cuts, this one on my arm tho, and not deep at all.. it was all a bit of a rush, we got there at 530pm on Saturday, spent the night there and came home at about 11 o’clock Sunday morning.

Just watched some scrubs, didn’t know what to do next and now its 5pm, here I am writing my blog… finally.. hehe.. I’ve prolly said this countless times.. but I will try to keep it more up to date… oo… I did add a few more place marks on the map I think.. and also a count down for getting back to Adelaide! (^_^ / T_T)

Ok.. well that's it for today… nothing out of the ordinary really.. uni starts on the 25^th (technically) .. still gotta do Jap study, but I’ve gotten a bit lazy since dad got here…

Oh yeah! I finally saw Sinta again!! After like a month and a half!
