Location: Kuta, Bali, Indonesia
Hello!
Today started late because despite doing this for 77 days, I didnt know when wake-ups were and woke everyone up 15 minutes late. Oops! But Steph’s delicious pumpkin bread motivated everyone to get out and up into the cockpit. We had a nice quick breakfast because we were all antsy to get on with our shore day. Especially the boys who had a date with the spa.
We headed over to Kuta, a popular tourist area, especially for surfers (put a pin in that!) We got some free time on shore. Reagan, Sidney, Oliva, and Lexy spent some time exploring the city and getting pedicures- which included a foot scrub to get rid of boat feet! Kylie, Annabelle, and Lainey headed to a spa but were redirected and instead spent some time walking around and visiting coffee shops. Elanore extended her Visa for some future Bali adventures. The boys, of course, headed to their boyz spa day. Spencer got wrapped in fruit.
We met back up at 2 for surfing! Iain, Kylie, Anna, and Kackie went off to surf the big waves far out while the rest of us started in the small leagues. We got a lesson on how to balance on the board and standup, etc. We set off into the water with our surf coaches. Some of us did better than others- Annabelle was killing it, ripping waves right off the bat. My coach was happy if I was even able to stand up on the board.
After surfing, we celebrated our sick surfing skills with gelato and headed home.
We had a classic Steph meal of black bean burgers and spicy mayo for dinner. During the squeeze, we talked about our first night home plans. Showers and sleep were big hits. But Austin brought up a good point: When it’s time to go to sleep, we’re going to be replaying our time here over in our heads.
Well, that’s all from me.
Thank you, and goodnight.
