Time keeps on ticking
Saturday, February 24, 2007 at 09:28PM Yesterday was a bright, sunny and very hot day. I of course, loaded down with sun screen somehow still managed to burn my nose. Deb...whose nose is significantly larger than mine never burns her nose. Don't understand it.
We started the day off with a nice long walk on the beach, watched the Kuta surfers ride the waves and then we headed back to our little hotel for a swim in the pool. Read poolside for a bit, then hopped on our motorcycle and went to a restaurant on the beach for some lunch. Deb had some seared tuna and I partook in the Mahi Mahi (delish!) and of course we took advantage of the happy hour beers! After that, the draw of the stores was too much for my elder sister. A shoe store screamed her name and in we went. She came out with a cute pair of black sandals and I came out empty handed...mostly because I sat there with my eyes closed the entire time refusing to acknowledge the plethora of earthly delights that surround me.
Last night we planned on going out to some clubs...after all it was Saturday night. But we cruised around to all the apparent 'hot spots' and they were all dead. Not too many tourists here on the island at the moment. So our effort was for nothing. We were back in the room just after midnight.
Today we will wander the beach again. Trying to burn the sounds of the waves crashing into our minds, as tomorrow we fly off to Bangkok....where hopefully we will do no shopping. Ha. Actually the plan is quite exciting for Bangkok...we plan on getting our teeth cleaned. It only costs about $20 compared to the $200 that it would cost me in Canada without benefits.
Both of us are currently living in denial that the year is almost up....
