Trekking Around Seminyak

Though Trish is still not operating on all 6 cylinders, we headed out again around 10:30 to explore more of the local area on foot.  The litre of water we bought was nearly all gone and our clothes were saturated when we arrived back at our air conditioned hotel room a couple of hours later.

The photo gives you an idea of how crowded the streets can be with motorbikes and cars everywhere. The traffic moves slowly, so despite appearing chaotic, the slow speeds means it is kind of safe. Our long 50 kilometre trip from Uluwatu 3 days ago took well over an hour with speed rarely exceeding 60kph.

I had to wait to get this photo with traffic everywhere, in reality it is very quiet in Seminyak according to the shopkeepers, and even the restaurants have very few diners in them after dark.

The walk this morning was great and we discovered even more places to buy singlets, watches, T Shirts and other bits and pieces. We did discover the Bintang Supermarket which was huge. I grabbed a few 500ml cans of Bintang just to supplement the supply chilling in the hotel room fridge.

All looks good now.

I reckon a swim in the hotel pool will go well after we duck out for a quick bite to eat for lunch. There is footy on TV tonight at around 6pm. If it isn't on the in-house TV there are several local bars which have it. We won't miss out.

I think we have done most of the walking we want to do today. Hopefully Trish's tummy will be 100% tomorrow and we can venture further away, but this time by cab.

This below is the view looking out from our hotel room window. Many of the rooftops are actually shops. Beyond the trees in the distance is the beach. The beach and all its trappings are around a 5 minute walk away.
