We have finally arrived!

After an exhausting 30 hours of travel we have finally arrived in Sanur, Bali. Bali has exceeded our expectations already. Everything is totally new, totally exciting, and really different. We arrived at our hotel of 10 rooms to be warmly greeted by it's owners Mikel from Sweden and Brahma from Java. Our room overlooks a beautiful garden and pool with open air views of the mountains. We were served Bintang beer and a delicious dinner right on our porch, followed by even better chocolate cheesecake and jack fruit (All for $5!) After dinner, we crashed! We can't even begin to tell you how taxing 30 hours of travel is on your body... jet lag is real! :)This morning we woke up to coffee, tea, and nasi gorang breakfast. If you've ever seen the movie Mr. Deeds, the staff appears out of no where for your every need. Dodi arrived on our porch just as we were thinking about massages... tonight at 4 pm we'll each enjoy an hour massage by the pool under a thatched roof.... for $5! We can't believe how cheap everything is! Oh and good news for everyone who was worried about Heather's white skin and blonde hair... Swedish people are everywhere and she's not even the blondest! Our neighbors are a young Swedish couple just traveling here for the weekend.. how cool! Today, we traveled through the town, probably a 4 mile walk. We passed religious ceremonies on the beach which was beautiful and amazing, along with hundreds of offerings to the Gods. There are temples and shrines all over. The people here are SO friendly, all the kids we pass wave and say hello, they are excited when we smile and wave. We had lunch on the beach... DAD, Adam had real Indonesian sates served on live burning coals!!! DELICIOUS!!! We think we're going to eat our way through this place! Our next stop will probably be the mountain town of Ubud in 2 days. We have no reservations anywhere so it will be an adventure to find our next place. Stay tuned!

We're having problems downloading pics from this computer, so we'll try to update them next time.
