Day 751 - Surfing

Around 10am, quite a nice hour to be heading out, we wandered down to the beach with our neighbour's surfboard in hand. While Liv stood on the sidelines Adam attempted to ride waves for the first time in about 3 years. After an eternity of getting smashed by waves on his way out beyond the breakers, Liv ended up missing Adam standing up and riding the very first wave he paddled for!! Not to worry though, there were plenty more after that, and soon Adam was riding in exhausted after less than 2 hours in the water. Adam strutted on the walk back home, blending in with everyone else with a board under their arms, and finally met up with Liv at the JK pool. The hours by the pool drifted away while the sun gently dried us between dips in the water. In the afternoon Adam and Pops headed to a bar to watch the All Blacks play Italy – as most tourists in Bali seem to be Australian is wasn't surprising that they were the only 2 in the whole bar! At least they got their drinks quickly, and Adam's first All Blacks game in 2 years was a victory!

In the meantime Liv and mumbles were off walking the streets in search of a bargain, ending up at the supermarket for a stock up on snacks to go with the drinks that occupy most of our peaceful evenings on the balcony.

The Adlibers took mumbles and pops out for a cheapy dinner at the place Adam dined alone at yesterday – although the ambience isn't quite the same, the local Balinese food was excellent!

Adlibing it like a surfer.
