Indonesia: Kuta, Bali
Early to rise we were...well, relative to the schedule Lundy and I had both been running the couple of days previous. We hit the street probably around 11 am after awaking from a coma-like sleep of death. I must have been kissed awake by Princess Charming, cuz I didn't think there was anyway I was going to get up after I went to bed the night before. We stayed in Kuta Beach, defintely the more developed andtouristy place on the entire island. Kuta is summed up by beaches, shopping, clubbing, surfing, surfing, surfing, ripped surfers everywhere, and the few babes that accompany them. Being eager to escape this Indonesian Vegas, we rented motorbikes and set off to find the legendary Dreamland Beach that was rumoured to be around 45 minutes away. A desination for surf and sun chasers alike, this place was so entirely wicked it held me in facinated awe for awhile once we got there. Getting there was a different story. We bombed around wildly in even wilder traffic trying to find this place. All of the directions we got from numerous different people seemed to point us in a different directions, and we were defintely lost for the better part of two hours I think. To top the reckless traffic and bad directions off, the police here are among the most corrupt I've encountered on my trip, and try to pull over every foreigner driving a motorcyle and charge them for driving without a international driver's license. They usually demand a"solution" of around 25 bucks to rectify the situation, which can get pricey when you have about 10 policemen a day trying to pull you over. Being aware of this problem, we just ignored most policemen attempting to wave us down, and avoided and sped past police outpost and stations. However, we still got snagged on the main road in front of Kuta Beach. Lundy got off free because he actually DID have a international permit (even though the cops don't even know what a real one looks like), but they started in with the fire and brimstone on me. They demanded 150,000 rupiah to get me out of the"big trouble and crime" that I was a part of. That's about 20 bucks, which I refused to pay. The one cop gave me a little card that had my rights on it and the court appearance procedures on it, and kept saying "you're in big trouble, you're in big trouble". I told him I'd give him 6 bucks, which he refused. I told him to write me up a ticket then, and that I'd gladly give my money to a judge and that he wasn't getting a dime. He went and faked writing me up a ticket for about 3 minutes, probably hoping I'd get rattled over the fact that he was sending me to Indonesian court, which I kind of did of course. He came back and demanded 150,000 again, which I again refused to pay. I told him again to write me up a ticket, at which point he said"Alright, 50,000" (6 bucks), which went straight into his pocket. It's going to be rad to be back in Canada where the police aren't corrupt pricks and I'm not a target just because I'm a foreigner. Dreamland it eventually was, and the journey - albeit a lost one - was just as spectactular as the desination. It's so scenic and unspoilt once youget into the little villages and the countryside outside of Kuta Beach. Once again...early to bed, and early to rise. A detox of sorts I guess. Onto the next day! The next day we again took our motorbikes and biked nearly the entire length of Bali, through the central highlands and over to Gitgit. We were chasing waterfalls again, and found some SWEET ones in Gitgit. All ours, crystal clear water, picturesque scenery, and one heck of a ride. The roads all over Bali wouldgive the average rally car racer shivers, and are quite the hoot to scream along on on a motorbike. Jungle, waterfalls, lakes, villages, monkeys all over the sides of the roads. Awesome! We finished off by biking another couple hours back from Gitgit and hitting up Tanah Lot, Bali's mostfamous temple. Tanah Lot was indeed impressive, having been built out of massive natural rock formation down on the sea. Sunset there was unreal, and a great cap to a great day. The Balinese culture is such a refreshing one. Their religion, a Hindu-based spirit worshiping one, permeates every pore of their being here. It binds family, creates tradition, and gives a entirely delightful feel all over the island. Everyone takes time every day to offer the spirits token offerings, and as a result there are flowers and little works of art strewn all over every street corner, household entrance, road....everywhere! Traditional family roots and traditional dress are prevalent as part of this society (once you leave Kuta at least), and you can easily cruise much of Bali without a touristy feel. You hardly see another tourist in the more quiet corners, and the Balinese religious tradition, ceremonies, and tradional dress are very much a way of life, and not there to impress a few people with a camera. Very very refreshing. And then there's a healthy mix of surf/skate culture....quite the contrast, while still good. Volcom, Quiksilver, and hitting the surf early every morning rule the day...making it a fun and happening place to be. Bali was sweet for the 3 days we were there, but we were soon off to more unspoilt pastures...off to Kuta Beach on Lombok, which is a large island off the east coast of Bali.
