we have been on bali for so long now so we´ve started to know a lot of people and places. the ones that stick out are the favorite ones, and they are soo well worth to know about. we found a new favorite, a restaurant. de dasun serves chinese and indonesian food, they have really friendly staff, a big menu and good chefs. we drank the best ice tea on bali until we almost pied in our pants, we ordered food from half the menu and drank great bali coffe afterwords, i think we payed about 22.000 rupies per head, thats about 16 swedish krones per person. big LIKE on de dasun!

went to uluwatu to show idus & robin how it looks like in real life, they fell in love with our photos from the place from last year and has dreamt and googled about the place since then. luckily the tide was low so we took a swim outside the cave, took some cool photos under the cliffs, sunbathed in the rockpools and chased away a monkey that tried to steal our sunglasses. in the end they said, wooow, this place is even more magic in real than on any photos. how often do you find a place like that?!

(some of the photos are taken by them)

pang så åkte nick hem, pang så försvann swellet, pang så gick solen i moln och pang så kom idus och robin. bilden är när solen tittade fram en snabbis i balangan efter konstant regn i flera dagar, skojj välkommnane neheee. men jag o linn var lite busiga och hyrde en bil för andra gången lagom till idus och robin skulle komma. vi svängde inom flygplatsen när de landa o hämtade upp dem, snacka om chockade de blev när vi körde hem mitt i natten på alla små pissevägar som gick hit och dit genom gröna bali för att till slut mitt i natten visa vägen över en paradisstrand till vårt bambuhus. SURPRISE!!!

de lägger ocå upp lite bilder och text från sin resa, kolla in life is a beach, vi är kanske oxå med på ett hörn där!

nick woke up one minute after sunrise as usual, ran down the dirtroad the check the surf in uluwatu. apparently it was better than expected cuz he didnt check it good enough. chest to head high and perfect for a fun session with my new biscuit he reported. so i grabbed my 5´7 biscuit and nick his 5´7 shortboard and when we were walking down the road i heard something roaring very loudly, like thousands bears roaring at once in a bathroom. walking, or running down the stairs towards the cave i thought the waves looked pretty big, but damn they looked clean so why not.. 5 minutes later we paddled out togheter, 30 seconds later nick was swept around the cliff by the strongest current i have ever felt, 5 minutes later again i managed to get out to the lineup, which was full of professional surfers, photographers and huge thick walls of water coming against me like tsunamis. i was so scared i didnt even try to paddle for a single wave and probably fricking lucky making the paddle from the lineup to the cave without getting smashed on the reef, at this big swell i later read its nothing but nuts to do that and instead paddle a few kilometers west around the cliffs to get a safe place to get up..

the photos are from when it was getting smaller and not really working properly, but still some size though! sorry.
