Tuesday

We were up bright and early at 6 am thanks to our early night before. Our breakfast was included so off we went b/c we were starving. The breakfast buffet was made to satisfy the different nationalities staying at the hotel. There was Indonesian (noodles), Japanese (fish and congee), salads, pasta, soup and the normal Western breakfast food. I tried the Indonesian noodles but found them too garlicky for first thing in the morning.

After breakfast, we asked to have our room moved (from a room with two twin beds). We also mentioned it was our honeymoon. They moved us to a room with a cake that said "Congratulations" and a carving to celebrate our honeymoon.

We decided to catch a cab into Kuta. We quickly figured out that hiring a cab outside of the hotel grounds saved tons of money. It took about 15 minutes to get to Kuta. The roads are CRAZY. You wonder how everyone keeps from getting into an accident. Kuta is very, very busy. There are cars, motorbikes and people everywhere. I immediately started shopping (Dewey was THRILLED). We walked up and down Poppies I & II. We ate at Ketut's Plase. It had Indo and Thai food. It was very yummy and came to a super cheap $3.25 for all. I could get used to this!

Dewey was in heaven with all the surf shop stores in Kuta. They definitely play to the Aussies (Quicksilver, Billabong, etc) since they are the vast majority of the tourists in Kuta.

After a bit more shopping, we walked along Kuta beach. Every few minutes we hjeard "transport?", "massage?", etc. Finally we figured out that we were going the wrong way so we caught a cab to Seminyak. We at dinner at the Living Room. It is a very beautiful restaurant with lots of twinkling candles. The food was pretty good but expensive for Bali. We had our first Arak drink and it tastes a bit like lighter fluid. They did have Western bathroom facilities, though (lots of places don't). Earlier in the day, I had my first experience with a "squat" toilet. I am not looking forward to ever having to use one of those again.

Now you should know how to buy a digital camera that you can enjoy for years to come.
However, if you face a data loss situation, in absence of a
valid backup, no need to worry. The portal has been packaged with all these lenses and
is an effort towards making it a single stop shop for photographers looking for Nikon camera lenses.
