This morning Dave woke up super early to go surfing with the guys. Sounds like it was some pretty big surf! Daniel and Brenda went shopping in Seminyak. Grandpa gave Daniel $20 (which is a whopping 200,000 rupias!) to spend on his trip. He has determined he will purchase 1 toy + 1 instrument + 1 piece of artwork. He’s got all his interests covered: music, art, and toys. It proved to be a bit difficult to navigate Seminyak due to all the traffic, but he found a nice piece of art. I’m proud to say, my boy has good tasteJ. Then after a yummy lunch, we went to Ubud. After some miscommunications with the hotel, and a very confused and lost driver (first day on the job), we finally made it. This is the most incredible hotel , which I will decribe in more detail tomorrow. This evening we enjoyed a puppet show, they are so special here, such detail in the puppets. Now we are all cozy in our villa and about to go to bed.
In general, the surfing has been a little frustrating. Really big waves but Dave has been having trouble catching them, battling a lot of waves to stay out and having a hard time. We’ve been to Canggu, Dreamland and Airports. We took a cab to the beach in Kuta, and paid a outrigger to take us out to the break. The waves were pretty huge, a few feet overhead, but somewhat easy. But I got inside of the big sets many many times. Steve and Dave have caught a lot more waves than I did and had a great day.
Daniel: I am so excited that you were able to see the puppet show in
