Bali Adventures Day 2: Waterbom Park

After a very uneventful yet restless flight, we finally arrived in bali in the very early hours of the morning!



Look out Bali!



All luggage accounted, we headed out into the humid morning and paid for 4 taxis to take us to our accommodation for the next 9 nights!

It was the usual hustle and bustle of Bali: mopeds everywhere, very few road rules, we quickly made our way through it to Kuta. The whole taxi ride there, I spent watching Dans face! And I would have to say this was by far the highlight of my trip! This look of disbelief/ excitement/amusement/shock was priceless as his head darted from side to side, taking in the foreign country!

By the time we arrived, checked in and snooped around our room, it was 2am and finally time to pass out!

Before we had boarded the plane, our group came to agreement that for our first day, in case it got to hard down the track if people wanted to go off and do their own things, we would head to Waterbom Park which was directly across from the hotel!

Up, and ready to face the day, Dan and I had a peek around at out room and view (nice gardens) before heading down to meet everyone at breakfast! Damn it was a good breaki too! Banana and plain pancakes, all sorts of eggs, fruit and cereal, toast, all your basics and abit more, but tasting soooo good, it was just what we needed for a day of fun in the sun and water!

So off we trotted to Waterbom Park! The girls all said goodbye to their boyfriends as they ran off to do every slide possible and film themselves with their waterproof cameras, and then we headed off to the easiest slides to get into it! Always good fun going backwards, screaming loudly and getting massive wedgies when coming out the tube at the bottom, and soon we were all in agreement that it was time to get our drink on! So off to the pool bar we went for some oh so yummy cocktails!

A couple of hours later the boys found us to say a quick hello, some muck around photos, brag about their sliding accomplishments and then bugger off to do them all again. I yelled after Dan that he had to at least do one of the big ones with me, and got a wave or acknowledgement as he ran off down the path with the boys! Haha

A few more slides and then it was time for a nice relaxing lap or ten in a man made lake type of course that you drift along with the current in blow up tubes! More chatting, photos, dunking and lapping, and once again a couple of hours later, the boys were back! As you could imaging there were crashes, more dunking, tipping off tubes and splashing everywhere, but it was short lived! Their attention span for such a “boring” ride shorted and the call of the slides was loud! And they were gone again!



Floating around the lagoon



Soon it was time for afew girls to tackle the more exciting slides, and I finally dragged Dan away to do at least one of them with me! All good fun!



you go out the tube and down the drop (R), then go up the wall behind Dan (L), then backwards down into the pool (R)



Around mid afternoon we were buggered and keen for a lay down before dinner, also some girls had had enough while others including myself, had been to Waterbom Park before so was nothing new and exciting. So we left the boys to their probably 5 time down every slide while the girls went back to chill in the aircon and refresh.

When we had all finally regrouped, Billie had organised for us to go for dinner at a restaurant somewhere in the market area! I cant remember the name or the location but DAMN it was amazing food! There was a special on for drinks and ribs so everyone was set! Every mouthful was more delicious then the next! And Im pretty sure Dan cleared 5 full plates of ribs! In fact he was so impressed by the food, we went to thank the kitchen staff, and he gave the chef a 10000 rupiah tip, and they were so happy! It was secretly a proud moment for me to see him do such a kind act! To this day he still goes on about those ribs and how he tipped the kitchen staff and I know it’s a memory he will always remember fondly.



Dinner antics



The drink were going down well and soon we all got very rowdy and keen for some singing and dancing! Danika jumped up to sing with the band while one of the staff members danced with me, and she randomly kept flicking my dress around haha!

A couple of people were keen to hit the town, while most of us were ready for bed! I was one of the bed keen people, as was Dan and some others, so off we headed home with full bellies and beaming faces at such a busy, yet fun first day!
