Bali

Hi, i'm here! internet very slow but cheap.
its hot and muggy again and poured with rain this morning. got here last night and got taken in by someone asking for money before i even got out of the airport - the porter. didn't have any cash so told him i couldn't give him anything. he opportunistically picked up my bag anyway. and its only 13 kg! got chatting to canadian guy also going to the same place. room ok but place doesn't really seem worth 24 quid, both me and him didn't get the vibe from the place. anyway we walked around this morning and got hassles by hundreds of hawkers trying to get you in their taxi, shop, club, restaurant etc. just say no thankyou and keep walking. anyway found the original place i wanted to stay (where some of the people on my plane are staying) and rushed back to check out of the expenisve place before noon before walking back to this Hotel Sorga (luckily not raining) which is only 7 quid a night, and thats for a room with hot water and a fan! ooh! a lovely friendly place much better than last night.
about to walk around town and see a bit more, i had to buy a new camera in the duty free last night as mine wasn't very happy after the sand of Fraser Island, so now i've got a new gucci one, a Canon Powershot 710 or something. lots of exciting new things to play with. this internet in the hotel is a grand total of 2.5p a minute so i'll email again tomorrow.
