Asia Day 11- transit to Bali

Our plane landed in Bangkok at 1230AM. Grabbed our luggage and started looking for departures. Our flight to Bali leaves at 615 AM. No use getting a hotel. So after finding the AirAsia checkin counter, we printed off our boarding passes and laid down on a bench. Andrea blew up her pink fuzzy neck pillow and grabbed her awesome easttern china airlines blanket she forgot to give back after the Tokyo/Hong Kong flight and passed out with an alarm set for 345AM. No idea what mom did, but she kept waking me up Freaking out. Andrea andrea- I have to go to the bathroom--okay go to the bathroom!. Andrea andrea -theres someone at the airasia desk! Ugh. So I only got about an hour of sleep. At 330 we hopped in line for airasia to check our bags and head through security to our gate. Passed by a BK and Auntie Annies pretzel shops which were open. Put our stuff down near the gate, andrea went and got a breakfast pretzel and sat on one of the free computers and checked email and chatted on facebook. Boarded the plane at 545 found our seats and passed out.

Landed in Bali 3 hours later. Paid 25us$ for a bali visa and found our driver to our hotel. Along the way he sold us he and his car for the rest of the night for 50us$. He would bring us to beach activity, a temple on a hill, and dinner on the beach for sunset. We had nothing planned sounds good. Got our room, no wifi at our hotel-- its a 4 star hotel, u think they would offer free wifi. Also, the elevator was broken so we had to carry our stuff up. No hand towels in our room. And they canceled our bali massage. Showered and met our driver downstairs. He brought us to lunch across the way with free wifi so I could email our host in singapore. Then we went to apollo water sports. 70us$ got us a glass bottom boat and a triple to turtle island where we could hold actual sea turtles. They were huge!! Quite awesome. However, I feel like everyone is out for our money here. Tip yur guide, by yur boat driver a drink, buy a souvenir. Ugh.

Next we went to the temple on a hill. Reminded me of cliffs of mohr. Temple high on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Pretty sweet. We only had 30 minutes there because we had to get to jambarin for sunset. Got to the beach restaurant after sunset but it was still pretty. We literally were at a table in the sand at the beach. Andrea ordered a 700gram red snapper and lori had a seafood salad. The fish came out whole and bony. Gross. Topped the rice with a spicy bbq and ate that. Then our driver brought us to a really expensive spa (65us$/2hours). We said no. Bring us back to our hotel. So we were dropped off at 815pm and Narko, our driver was 50$ richer.

After running down to our spa--which no one was present we walked the strip outside our hotel looking for a spa. Nothing we could find so we decided to call it a night. Narko was picking us up at 830am for a drive to udob and the volcano in the AM.
