			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For the last 7 days we have been staying at a nice hotel called <a href="http://www.langonbaliresort.com/">Langon Hotel and Resort</a> in Nusa Dua.  The resort is a little far from the beach, restaurants, and massage spas but the hotel provides transportation.  However, we choose to also rent a motorbike so that we could get around when we please.  These pictures have been requested from a special lady, Alison, the expecting mother.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-336" title="Bali 036" src="http://www.travelingpuffins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Bali-036-500x375.jpg" alt="Bali 036" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>It is wild to ride around town on these motorbikes.  It was defiantly helpful that Sebastien had experience with his motorcycle before.  Here are the crazy things we have found on the streets of Bali.</p>
<ul>
<li>There does not seem to be any laws of who has the right of way.  We asked the hotel owner about this yesterday and said, &#8220;it is whatever you feel&#8221;.  I guess you tell your insurance agent, &#8220;I felt strong so I went.&#8221;</li>
<li>Families of 4 ride around on these small motor crafts.  I have seen babies being held by their mothers, who are sitting with both their legs on one side, and their 5 year old son sitting in front of the dad who is driving.  Wild!  None are wearing helmets.</li>
<li>There doesn&#8217;t seem to be a driving age here.  Very young kids who look to be 12 years old are driving around on these speed demons.</li>
<li>You can cut across to the other side of the street, into oncoming traffic, if you feel that your lane is going to slow.</li>
<li>There are more motorbikes than cars.</li>
</ul>
<p>Besides risking our lives everyday to be like a local we are enjoying our life here in Bali.  Our daily routine consists of waking up around 9 ish.  Going to breakfast (which is included in our stay) then spending time on the internet before heading down to town for lunch and a surf.  We then return back to the hotel for a shower or to get ready for our daily massage before dinner.  What a life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some pictures of our first week in Bali.  We have been staying in a hotel called <a href="http://www.kindvillabintang.com/">Kinds Villa Bintang</a> on the beach near Nusa Dua.  Nusa Dua is known to have many nice resorts.  The first day we went looking for waves and walked through the Hilton resort.  It was huge and seemed like its own town.  It had these beautiful little lagoon pools with slides into them which were great for families.  There was a left hand break out to the right of the Hilton.  There were only a few people out but it also looked only about 3 feet high.  The other surf spot in Nusa Dua was in front of club med but you had to park near the art market.  Oh and Seb and I have been traveling around on a motor bike that we rented for 6 dollars a day.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-324" title="Picture 003" src="http://www.travelingpuffins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Picture-003-500x375.jpg" alt="Picture 003" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Here I am at the hotel, Sandat Mas, in Ulu Watu.  Ulu Watu is mostly cliff and on these cliffs there are a few very unique hotels.  We went into one of these hotels to have a look and saw why people would stay in any of the remote hotels on this steep cliff.  The view.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-326" title="blue mountains 006" src="http://www.travelingpuffins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blue-mountains-006-500x375.jpg" alt="blue mountains 006" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-327" title="blue mountains 004" src="http://www.travelingpuffins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blue-mountains-004-375x500.jpg" alt="blue mountains 004" width="375" height="500" /></p>
<p>These two pictures are at the Ulu Watu Temple.  The monkey&#8217;s there create an ancient vibe but you have to be careful because they will steal anything they can.  The first one I saw was when I was walking along side that wall and it popped out and ran up to the ledge.  When I lifted my head I them scattered on the walls.  Very creepy!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-332" title="blue mountains 017" src="http://www.travelingpuffins.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/blue-mountains-0171-500x375.jpg" alt="blue mountains 017" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p>Here is Sebby getting one of his daily massages.  On this particular day he had one two hour session and then a one hour massage by the pool.</p>
<p>For the next week we will be staying at <a href="http://www.langonbaliresort.com/">Langon Hotel</a>.  It is incredible with amazing hospitality!</p>
