good morning. this is our last day here in bali so i’m going to do everything possible. gotta run so see you in japan!!!

meet my bali surf guide. sugimoto-san and i have been exchanging emails this past year. he’s from kobe, japan and is working as a bali surf guide. sugimoto-san sent me an email asking me if i wanted to surf. of course!!! so we hung out all day yesterday and had a great time….

round 1, 7am changu. the waves were super fun out in front. there were 7 guys out and as soon as we paddled out, everybody came in. we had it to ourselves the whole time….

round 2, 10:30am uluwatu. the waves were super fun. nothing big, but perfect. i got a few good ones that connected all the way. super satisfied!!!

then sugimoto-san took me to a really good babi guling, or suckling pig restaurant in sanur…. oh my gosh!! so good!!! so good that i won’t say where it is…
wanted to say thank you to sugimoto-san and hiroko-san for showing me around bali. next time i come here, i will stay at your villa. and when i get back to hawaii, i’ll post photos and a link to your sites. for now, my battery is going down and i’m sweating in this office. have a nice day!!!

the yen is pretty dam strong now. it’s the first time i’ve seen it go over 10,000 rupiah per 100 yen…. the dollar? weak!!

we went near the airport last night to eat chinese dinner. it was excellent. and for desert? chocolate/avocado milk shake. so dam good!!!! thanks kimura-san for sharing your secret restaurant. everybody was super happy!!!

these are our drivers. all cool guys….
