Bali

Boozy Bali, banging tunes, 24-hour night clubs, and cheap "massage". After leaving the lads in Perth, we had spent 15 days on a proper bender, and a pretty heavy 5 weeks in Oz. Thus, the things Bali is famous for were the things we went out of our way to avoid. We may be the first Irish citizens to ever spend a week in Bali, 100% sober!

So, with all that extra cash in our pockets, we splashed out on a fancy hotel for our chill-out holiday. Here we lounged, lazed and topped up on the tan (shade for Fiona). We also got tickets to the WTA Tennis tournament, which had 10 of the World's top-40 female players. In between games, I popped out to see the Player's Village, where there was a Wii Tennis screen setup. I found myself in a thriller against Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez. I let her have a few aces, but then asserted myself on the game and ended up a comfortable winner. Mis-spent days in Rathmines finally pays off! Photos are here.
