Nicky, the rooster and the elephant

Kay my days are very easy. Get up get breakfast. (all included is always very nice) Read a bit. Have an activity. Go to internet. Have some food. And end up drinking on the bar. Followed by an early night to bed or goin out late.
Those are my days, relaxing and not to exciting.

The only difference this week;

I was looking at a skirt I very much liked. So I got it taylor made. Which costed me EUR$15,- or AUS$20,- And the loveliest skirt ever.

Also I joined a couple of tours. First of all; elephant (thanx robin) riding. That was a weird but gourgious experience. Had the best time ever. Although there not native here. (imported from sumatra) Adelhi was the best elephant to me and let me even ride a bit on her head. (like the riders do) Heaps of fotos. And an unforgettable experience. Recommended!
Next to that I was going to go rafting that afternoon. Bit sceptical. In New Zealand I had rapids grade 4-5. (hardest possible) Over here because of the drought they were 1-2. The stories of the guest weren't that positive eiter. But hey as a dutchy I don't resist a free tour. So after a very long stair we were goin in the boat and away we were. Scenery made my mouth fall open. (sorry for all the flies I swallowed) Twas the most gourgious ride I ever had. Rapids weren't tough. But gave me enough time to talk and look around. On the end when we were pretty tiered we had to walk to many stairs up. But wasn't that bad as the guest told me. And the rafting was more than worth it. Had a good dinner and went to bed... ZZZZzzz.

Today suddenly was a rumour that people were going to cockfigting. (with rooster uhu) Although the guys from the hotel tried to get me in their room to see some 'cock'fighting. In an instant I said yes. Although doubtfull I still wanted to see this side of Indonesian culture. Went there with some other people. Watched with my eyes but hasn't klicked yes in my brain. Was the weirdest thing I ever did. Wouldn't do it again. But feel very double about the whole thing. Can't even say if it was great or horrible. But if I find out you will hear.

So far for today
Lots of Love
Nicky

Ps Although internet is not very fast here. (fastest I can get) I still managed to update some old photos from Frasier Island and Crocodile hunter zoo. Try to do every time a few. So far just a couple.
