When we got the Bali our plan was to meet Nick somewhere in the awful mud-hole called Kuta, for you who have been there youy know that the chance for that to happen, without even deciding a date or place to meet is pretty much zero. Believe it or not but within thirty minutes Nick ran up behind us, grabbed Linn around the shoulders and screamed “massage”. HAHAHA..

The day after was Niepi, which is the balinese new year, wrote some about it last year, look here . It´s an incredible day, a crazy celebration which engages the whole island and build on old beliefs, stories and traditions.. Our plan was to go totally nuts manand party the whole island apart..

The traffic was crazy but when we finally made it to our friends Astrid & Dylan’s house they were waiting with cold beer and mexican food. After a shower we got up on our motorbikes and drow to the local temple village Pecatu. This year we were a bit more preperd to the giant monsters and knew were to get the coldest bintang and the best food.. We had a great time! Dylan intruduced us to Yoga and Mega, two brothers who surf. We got invited to their home to wait for the winning results.

And guess what? Their three headed ago ago won! The Bintang were pounding all over YIHA jippykajaj nu ska jag bada

Our last day on Sri Lanka we were going to spend in the capital Colombo. We got some really good tips from our friends Holger & Totte who lived on Sri Lanka for a long time. Our plan was to buy a day pass to Galle Face Hotel and relax in their luxiouros pool just next to  the ocean. I was just gonna run by Barefoot  to buy a sarong and some gifts..

We ended up spending the whoole day at Barefoot. For you who don’t know what Barefoot is it can be described as an oasis in the hectic capital.  Don’t let the very insignificant and discreet entré misguide you, the further in you get in the never ending building the more you will love it.

At first you’ll find a beutiful colur ocean of textiles and home decoreting stuffs, then you’ll go down the stairs and find just as coulorful clothes in amazing quality, handwowen and handmade buy local women. You’ll also find fantastic photoalbums and writing books coverd with diffrent coulored fabrics. Then you will step into the air conditioned book shop with cool coffe table books and intresing reading from allover the world.

Next in line is some more handicrafts, but after that you’ll be out in a huge backyard with both a restaurant and a gallery.

Petter & I orderd cuttle fish & jumbo prawns that tasted like a little bit of heaven. We wanted to celebrate a fantastic Sri Lanka trip with and orderd a sauvigon blanc from South Africa. After the first sip it feelt like being thrown back to the wineyards of South Africa that we experienced las year. So worth it. And on top on that choclate brownie, lemon cheese cake and wifi to dessert.

After the amazing dinner we shopped til we almost dropped. A perfect day in the city! But it got even better, cause a old lady commented on Petters haircut and thought he was the guy she met at the barber. He wasn’t. But she showed out to be Barbra Sansoini herself. The women who’s the founder of Barefoot. Barbra was borned and raised on Sri Lanka and as an attempt to give all the low status Sri Lankan women a proffesion and money she started Barefoot. Today the company has 3500 employees.

Petter and I got to sit and have chat with here and that was just the perfect ending on our Sri Lankan adventure.
