New Years
We arrived in Bali very tired after a night in the airport and after some confusion checked into our vastly overpriced hotel in Sanur for a nap. The near by beach was a little disappointing after all the hype, but I assumed there would be better around the island. At the airport we had shared a cab with another couple from California and later that day we met up with them again. Drinks ensued and plans for the next night, New Years, where made. That morning we changed hotels, had a seafood basket for lunch, and spent the day doing very little. As evening approached we set out to meet our new friends. The four of us took a taxi to Kuta to find the party. Luckily there were no disco bombs this year. The streets were packed and it seemed like everyone had a noise maker of some kind. We started on the beach with the rest of the Balinese and eventually moved to an ex-pat bar with a live band playing classic rock. There was drinking and dancing and fun was had by all. The next morning we changed hotels again to something more suitable to our budget and made plans to move on.
