The three kings of Kuta...

It was time for some indulgence in Kuta, mainland Bali, checking into a swanky hotel for £7/night...
With some great room service, rib eye steak for £2.50, don't mind if I do...
Sky Garden was on the cards, probably the biggest and best club I have ever visited...with six rooms, unlimited beer & BBQ and a cracking sky room bar...


Feeling a little jaded from the night before we decided to be cultural and checkout the mcdonalds, rice instead of fries, tea instead of coke...
Talking of culture, here is some real Indonesian Hindu culture...every and I mean every street, beach, bike, restaurant, car, toilet, dog, or cat will have one of these attached to it to scare of the demons...
Each morning the streets are scrubbed and washed before these offerings are scattered everywhere. Having been made daily in the masses. 

Every quick-e-mart here has a mini kitchen, serving up much needed slushies, noodles, toasties, pasta...
Surf time, with panda...
Next up, the island hostel. Not really a hostel...

Why not rent one of these beasts for £2 a day and explore mainland Bali...
Mainland Bali is completely different to the rest of the place. Far more built up, swanky restaurants, big hotels...
And some great spots to hangout for the sunsets...
The only thing that isn't cheap is alcohol, being overinflated to rinse the Aussie masses. A cheaper and more interesting option, make your own pop up bar in front of a local corner shop, with 1 in 3 bottles of vodka being fake you can have an interesting evening...
You may even find yourself at a villa surrounded by hundreds of Germans, bit like gatwick airport car park here...
They love their beer...
Rustic tea pots aren't the thing anymore, kettles are the way forward...
Mainland Kuta Bali, drinking, beach, sleeping, surfing and lots of Aussies. That's it. Time for some culture...
