What an interesting couple of days. On June 4th I left Phuket after
teaching there for two months. I spent one night in Bangkok before
heading to Bali for two weeks.
I got to expirence having food poisioning for the first time in
Bangkok, YUCK!!! It made my travels to Bali a little challenging. Once
I arrived in Bali I got my driver to take me to the nearest town so I
could go right to sleep. I slept through the 40min taxi ride and woke
up in a town called Sanur at about 4pm. My driver found me a place
that was 200 meters from the beach and around $35 Can a night with AC.
I checked in and slept straight for the next 16 hours.
When I awoke I was happy to find a coffee shop across the street. I
was finally ready to eat and drink something, however I think I will
stay away from chicken for a while.
Talk about interesting timing and perfect timing, after breakfast I
walked down to the beach and directly into a cremation ceremony. I got
goose bumps immediately as stood in front of the burning body. There
was beautiful live music playing and many people gathered around in
ritual dress.
What a way to start the day, to witness this beautiful ceremony and
the passing on of a spirit/ soul was very touching.
I can tell that things are only going to get more interesting.
I am truly going with the FlOW on this trip. I checked out of my hotel
and I am still undecided as to where will be my next destination in
Bali...
