Indo week 3

After a couple of days out of the water, a few of us decided to have a little break from Kuta and go over to Nusa Lembongan. After getting up super early and jumping in the taxi to Sanur to get the boat over, it turned out there was a ceremony on and no one was to arrive or leave Lembongan, so back to Kuta it was. The surf was kind of small anyway so not a big problem as we were still waiting for this new swell, which was due in a few days. For the swell I decided to try Lembongan again with a few friends as we thought that Lacerations could be all time. The trip didn’t go too well at all though.... First off I left my bag with my clothes in on the boat by accident, once i realised i rushed back, and of course with us being in Indo, they were never to be seen again. A little annoying, but not the end of the world, but we decided to go for a surf as it looked ok. We got in at Lacerations and it was small, but there were one or two sets. I managed to get one pretty good one amongst the crowd, but that was about it, however the next day was the day of the swell. Lembongan is probably the most boring island in Indo so we had absolutely nothing to do all afternoon and evening. We must have played about 50 games of Presidents and Arseholes to pass the time, but we got a pretty good feed, as one of the guys we travelled there with went spear fishing whilst we surfed so we had loads of fresh and veg, followed by an early night. During the night the surf sounded pretty big so was looking forward to the next day. It turned out to be smaller than the day before though...We went in for a wave anyway and was hoping it would pick up, as we had already paid for our accommodation and were leaving late the next day. The surf was so bad though we decided to call a boat in, we got back to the hotel and there was a fast boat back to Bali in ten mins, so we packed up chucked our stuff on the boat paid our bills and got of the Island. So it ended up costing me about 800,000 rupiah for one barrel, and to lose half my clothes....not quite the trip i was hoping for.
