We did it!

We finally did it!  We buckled and payed up for a surfing lesson and who would have thought, it actually worked! Our instructor was this great little Balinese guy who was shocked when we both got up first try and then started catching waves and surfing like it was no big deal. Well, actually we both took quite a few spills in the middle of all that surfing, but we are stoked to have finally got the hang of it! Anyways, we are off to check out the real surfers at Ulu Watu today, and then tomorrow we might give surfing another go, as long as our bodies have recuperated from the soreness! (One downside- the beach from Kuta to Seminyak is highly polluted from river run-off, so every few seconds we had plastic of some sort sticking to us or the board while we were in the water! Not the best place if you are coming for a pretty beach vacation, that doesn't exist anywhere in Bali and you are better off sticking to Mexico!).

A + B in Amed for a special dinner of suckling pig (not my favorite!), but they made awesome hats for us and we dined like kings because we were the only ones in the restaurant!
