I know it’s only been a day since the last missive but I had to write again this morning because Barb did something yesterday that made me say.....”that is going into the blog”!
We’ve been here for almost three weeks and last night for the first time I discovered that Barb is using tap water to rinse her toothbrush! That may not sound like a big deal to those of you who do that every day in Canada but for me.....someone who’s travelled to less water friendly places a lot......I was horrified! Honestly, Barb is still laughing at the look on my face. LOL. But I’m the one who will be laughing if/when she finds herself spending a lot of time in a small room with a toilet! Although, she tells me that she’s been doing that ever since we arrived and that she did it for a month last year too so maybe she’s the one in the know or perhaps she has an iron gut and is invincible to the bacteria. Regardless.....I am still in shock and slightly in awe. Getting to rinse my toothbrush under the tap when I return home is always something I marvel at so I’m pretty envious of Barb’s bold move right about now.
I think I already mentioned that last night we had plans to go for Indian food with Jati and his girlfriend Rhiannon. Well....we did and although we had a good time....the food was terrible! I can’t believe I actually just said that but it was! Everywhere we’ve been to this point in time has been at worst....still pretty good.....but that last night was awful! It was such a disappointment and also a bit of an embarrassment as Barb and I had recommended it based on recommendation from others. And to make matters worse...it was Jati’s first time ever trying Indian food and Rhiannon was really wanting him to like it as it is her favourite. End result...we will never go there again!
The rain hit us hard again last night and kept up all through the night but this morning the sun is trying to peek through the cloud cover. Neither of us is holding our breath for that though...I think we’ve arrived at a place of erring on the side of realism. This is the end of the peak of the rainy season and this year has been a very very wet rainy season.
Well....we were right in not getting our hopes up! The skies just opened again and here we are still in the middle of our breakfast. Sigh....might be another Ray Donovan kind of day.....and Barb just put her wrap on as she’s cold. But...in Bali....the climate can change in a heartbeat...hopefully it will brighten up this afternoon and we’ll find ourselves at poolside or.....if we’re forced to stay indoors perhaps we’ll just have to suffer through another massage. :-)
Till next time,
Lorrie and Barb
