Padang Bai was our favorite place yet, a tiny port town with cheap accomodation and fresh seafood, nice people, a couple reggae bars and a few very nice beaches. One was a white sand beach that not many people know about with clear turquoise water, the other a black sand beach, and then blue lagoon (picture above) which was a decent snorkeling spot, but nothing to write home about. Here we met some interesting characters, Bobby a sailor from San Diego, who we met during a fresh baracuda dinner, has been sailing for 3 years down Central America, out to the Galapagos and the across the Pacific visiting many places along the way eventually landing in Bali which he says is his favorite place. We met Dennis, Chaz, and Tree who are nice, fun people. Dennis is a real character, always hugging and kissing every man and woman and telling them how beautiful they are. It's crazy how the room changes when he walks in! But, there are many characters in Bali. We have also been honing our skills of finding good Balinese cousine, babi guling or suckling pig has become Sam's favorite lunch, and Bak Su, chicken ball soup is a rainy weather favorite, just don't ask what the chicken balls are really made of. The fresh calamari has been another cheap favorite of ours. The last night in Padang Bai we met Dj and Dan at the Babylon who we traveled with to the Gilis the next day and have been hanging out with in Ubud since, they are lots of fun and we are enjoying everyday to the fullest!
