Day 67: Seminyak, Bali

In going to Bali, Stan and I hoped to do some diving and experience some of the classic and serene Balinese culture. However, it would be a crime to come to this part of the world and not do the fancy beach scene, so we arranged for a 1 night stay in Seminyak before departing for our 3 day dive trip in Komodo.

We ended up using the now-trusty AirBnB.com to book a convenient and well-appointed villa within walking distance of the beaches, and arrived just after noon.

What can I say? We spent the rest of the day lounging on beachfront beds and drinking white sangria at Ku De Ta, the bar/club/restaurant that has helped make Bali what it is today. Our strenuous day of sunning was punctuated by boogie boarding and people watching, and ended with a spectacular sunset over the water. It was the perfect antidote to the high-priced, fast-paced city life we had left just that morning!
