Bali day 5 - monkey time
It was free to enter for my lift there.
But I had to pay.
They do the same in Thailand too, locals free, foreigner pay.
It cost 100,000RP to enter which is £6/$8.
Maybe it is just me, but I think if you have seen one, seeing hundreds does not matter, so I was not impressed by the 5 minute walk around the tiny forest in Ubun,
I did note that compared to where I reside it was full of tourists where Denpasar is not.
I went to buy a bottle of vodka tonight and the mere sight of seeing my buy a bottle prompted a voice asking "can I take photo with you and the vodka, selfie with me please?".... I mean how can you refuse a very cute lady?....
That shows how few tourists there are where I reside.
I had a tourist around 30 years old trying to get my attention, but I am still married even though I am in Bali alone, so I declined her approaches, as gorgeous as she was.
We went for lunch after my Indonesian friend and I.
I always have one mcdonalds when abroad to see the difference.
It was £2/$3 for a hamburger medium meal with fries and a coca cola, topped off with the smallest apple pie I have ever seen.
When you are only in 1 area for 11 days it seems on reflection I could have done much more today, other than look at monkeys.
Tomorrow is back to Sanur beach to meet up with my new Aussie and Irish buddies for a few hours, so I need to pack something to do into the morning till I meet them at 4.30 pm.
I may or may not have much to write about tomorrow, a bit like today, but Tuesday I am thinking of a boat ride to some islands, maybe some scuba diving or at least snorkelling, we will see.
So have a picture of a pretty lady to make up for my lack of content.
The trees were more interesting to me, 100's if not thousands of years old, no idea, just guessing.
No matter where you go you take you with you.
And maybe I would have enjoyed it more but for missing my daughter, a lot.
I shall snap out of this mood for tomorrow and put my most positive head on, cannot spend time fretting about it as I did offer to bring both her and my wife, which was declined.
Have a superb week one and all, Peace and out.
I recall a woman taking about a place with monkeys in Bali and recommending never to go to it, because she got mobbed by them. She was a very load lady, so maybe that's why they mobbed her. 😆
Did you manage to sort your card yet?
Re card no due to weekend, and yes, the monkeys have been trained to take sunglasses from people and anything else they can grab, those looking after the monkeys get the item back and ask for money to give it back to you, so she is correct.
