Hanging with the locals




For breakfast we headed to a cute little bakery/restaurant down the main road that we were staying. We got the most delicious sandwiches ever, with hard boiled eggs, grilled chicken, bacon, tomatoes, lettuce, with a special sauce on their own freshly made bread.
After, we headed to Senggigi Reef for a bit to watch the local surfers. Later we headed to a different part of the beach, so I could go for a dip without all the surfers. We talked to these local guys, who let us use their snorkeling masks. We got to see some of the fish and coral closer to the shore.

Before we knew it the sun was beginning to set, so we hung around and watched the sunset. For dinner we grabbed some Bintang beers and headed to a local food stand where we got ayamtaliwang, which is a very popular miniature chicken dish (head and all). They didn't have silverware, so we ate the chicken, salad, rice and all with our hands which was different, but it kinda made you appreciate your meal a bit more. For dessert we got marta bak, which was almost like a sweet thicker pancake filled with cheese.

We went out to Happy Bar, and then ended the night at Marina Bar down the street.
