Bali

Have arrived in Kuta, Bali. Kuta seems like a tourist nightmare, though I’ve only been here a couple of hours. The boat across between Java and Bali was the scruffiest commercial ferry I have ever seen. The gap between the two islands is really quite small but the boat took forever, particularly in docking. On the positive side the bus terminal was across the road from the entrance to the ferry terminal and I jumped on a local minibus to Denpasar. Around 5 hours later a swap to another minibus to take me across town to another bus station ond from there on a 3rd minibus to Kuta, Bali’s main resort. It was a long hot journey so not much more to add now.
