Villa de Cow


Bali, Easter 2007

Travelling with Jamie and Luke on a Thursday evening flight to Bali, we were greeted by Kevin on his 6th beer, and that was how the long weekend progressed. Stayed up chatting the first night, woke early on Friday and Luke went straight for a scotch on the rocks. Chilled in the afternoon (Luke didn't move for 4 hours) and had sundowners at Ku De Ta - beautfiul swim in the sea with Jamie.

Yatin and Craig arrived later that night, and after welcome drinks they headed out to town. I stayed in and greeted them for late night drinks back at the villa. Yatin scored a Korean air hostess thanks to a gracious hand-off by the attached Kevin.

Saturday saw a rude awakening by Craig aka Danja, who was served his just desserts later that night with a gang beating while sleeping. Delicious Soto Ayam was followed by more scotch, swimming and napping, before we dressed up in white pants and Hawaiian shirts for the main event - Neil and Liza's wedding.

Staying still and quiet during the ceremony proved challenging to all of us, but we put on our best behaviour as long as we could. Kevin befriended his own personal midget, Liza's sister's friend blew the boys away, the food and setting were gorgeous and the funk & soul helped us rock the dance floor. Finished up at the villa with more debauchery and a smashed camera.

Sunday was a little ill for all concerned, but still we returned to Ku De Ta where I had a fantastic purging swim in the sea. We feared we became the poseurs we ridiculed and we felt bad. The plane ride back at 10pm was even worse, but getting only three hours sleep at home was the icing on the cake. With lots of injuries but no casualties, we live to party another day.
