June
Well as I look back at my last post I realise that my ability to be reliable and update this is slipping somewhat. So what I propose, I’m going to write a summary for June, July and August so that I can get back up to date, they may not be the most interesting (I’m such a great salesman) but at leats it’s easier for me to keep on writing!
Right, to pick up hannah finally made it here after partying her way across Indonesia. It was great to see and catch up about various people best of all was that for twelve months I’d not actually heard an accent from the north of England, it was a refreshing change. She also brought with her a bountiful supply of treats from England, some editable others just practical (the essentials: kettle, hammock, dvds etc).
We went down and hung out in Nembrala for a few days which was great. We stayed at Mr Thomas’ homestay which boasts the best doughnuts available in Rote or cake for breakfast each morning and a very friendly if not slightly eccentric owner. We had a great time, there was a really good crowd staying down there who we hung out with, a birtish guy (Dave), an American (russ) and an aussie family (Danny, Tan, Leighton and jared) who were all good craic really.
So we hung out there for a few days then came back up to Ba’a. We had an afternoon in Jefri’s village which was generally hanging out, looking at paddy fields and then noticing how freakishly tall both hannah and I are in comparison to a lot of the locals when we posed for pictures.
The truth is, there isn’t that much else to tell about hannahs visit. We had a great time but we spent most of it just hanging out, chatting and chilling (which are hannahs three key life skills). But we had a good time and it was cool to just spend some time with her.
Now one slight oversight in the whole thing was the fact I actually hadn’t booked hannah’s flight back to Bali from Kupang, as I say a minor issue. So we decided that she would just chance getting a slight and we’d hope for the best, I should sya even if she missed it then she still had a day to spare. We just made it to the airport as the plane was boarding so I could run and buy her a ticket.
So all in all, not that exciting but very very enjoyable.
TO be honest, eating takeout, chilling out and chatting with hannah did take up a large part of my june, nothing else really happened aside from preparing for that and recovering from it!
