Christmas come and went and so will we. We are now staying east of bali in a small village called Candidasa, this now is a holiday, days have consisted of eating, swimming, thinking about swimming in the beach or the pool and what to eat next. This sleepy little gem of a town was purpose built for tourism they built a lagoon where the town centered and then built a makeshift beach. Unbeknown to the locals and developers, strong tides destroyed all the beaches and eroded some villas. Now Candidasa will never be the new Kuta, yet I enjoy the unambiguity of the place and I am enjoying my first massage in about a million years.
Mallees diet... Banana Juice (which he thinks is banana milk) Bananas and banana pancake, and for some reason he has grown a new appreciation for eggs in which he calls ovals.
He has ceased the constant no no no no and has adopted OK' OK'. What a relief! He is finally settled into this transportation lifestyle and will even approach people of his own accord. Teddy is spoken of less and bananas have taken a whole new meaning to bribes. The pool and beach is his new haven, and his christmas present was some ridiculously massive floatation arm bands with big whales on the top, he looks great and had his first swim on his own yesterday. So this has been a lovely little break for christmas, yet onto Nusa Penida on Wednesday and therefore away from all forms of technology. A big update will follow after 10 days. I must leave now with these pictures the staff are hovering over the WIFI router staring, waiting for my departure. Everything closes here very early.
