The title says it all about Kuta. It is nothing like the rest of Bali and, I've got to say, I think it is a hole. The waves are good for surfing and the internet is better than anywhere else we've been. There, I've said something positive about it. Now I can berate it all I like. Kuta is the most touristy, commercial, smelly, crowded and generally un-indonesian part of Bali that I've visited. I don't know why I'm bothering to write a blog as I have nothing interesting to say. I have spent the last week reading loads, feeling sad that my boy has left and trying to avoid people who want to sell me stuff. Oh what a grump I am!
It is not all bad. I had a lovely walk along the beach the other evening and stood in the shallows whilst the sun set. That was pretty special. I also had a realy cool surfing lesson. I was able to stand on the board for a good while, even managing to turn it a bit. I avoided injuring myself and the many people who kept getting in my way. Unfortunately, the surfing instructor guy made things awkward by following me around and trying to get me to go out with him so I've been avoiding the beach. Why don't people understand the word NO in this country?! Ah well, my bro is arriving on a jet plane this evening so we can surf together.

Hey honey,
Sorry to hear that you are feeling sad at the mo. I hope that the arrival of little bro cheers you up. Good luck with the surfing and try to avoid any sharks this time!!!
Lots and lots of love

we now have official written confirmation from UOB that Emma Jo Bowles is a paid up member of the big floppy hat brigade - so that's something else good to cheer you up. We've just got back from a hot sunny Kent to a much cooler Cumbria to find that the heating - ie the hot water for baths etc - won't work so you can even feel smug that you don't have that particular misfortune! ( not that you would, I'm sure)
load of love xx
