Bali

After a thorough clean and having refuelled and rewatered, and the same to the boat, we have headed to Ubud for some relaxation. You might think we would be sick of the sight of each other, indeed, Geoff and Janet did head in the other direction on a motorbike. But who should we meet at a cafe overlooking Kintimani.
We also decided we needed some exercise after two weeks on the boat. Today we rode bikes 40 km. It was warm hot and sweaty, and would have been even harder if it hadn't been entirely downhill. The only exercise we got was in our fingers as we use the brakes. Dogs and chickens and children and motorbikes and cars and trucks and narrow lanes and all downhill meant we used a lot of brakes. I highly reccommend it. (Check the bike has good brakes, though).
Tommorrow it is back to the marina to resupply for our voyage East. We depart on Wednesday, Gilli, Lombok, Komodo, Flores, Timor, day sailing and visiting remote beaches and villiages, snorkelling, fishing and whatever takes our fancy.
We are not sure how much access we will have for updates to the blog, but you can follow our onward voyage via the spot (just to the right there). I will leave the sailing club link up but the tracker we all carried for the race has been taken off the boat (yes, they want them back).
Here are some pictures. Keep an eye out for the video that is too big to upload untilwe can get better bandwidth.
