aaaand relax

Hi all,

I've been in bali for a week or so, and it's ace - spent some time in a quiet beach in the north called lovina, and the rest of the time in Kuta, which is the craziest bali gets (most other places are almost asleep). The big draw of Kuta is the excellent surf - had a few lessons here and might have one or two more in australia when I get there. It's pretty difficult (and seriously hard work on the arms), but I'm getting there :)

Speaking of australia, I head there tomorrow night, arriving in cairns on friday morning, hopefully in ideal time to meet up with Ed, who should also have just arrived - that should be ace.

Also, I've sorted all my flight dates for the wedding - I have 4 weeks in australia, just over 4 weeks in new zealand, then a week in fiji before about 20 hours in san francisco then flying back to london. In london between the 1st to the 7th august, if anyone's about (though I'll be busy for most of the weekend).

I've also booked myself on a return flight from Mexico to get back just before christmas. I'll maybe push it past new year if the money's looking ok by then, but I might be too skint and have to come home...

I'm off surfing today because I hurt my back a bit yesterday (rubbish bed in a cheap hostel), but I should be ok to do some more tomorrow before the flight :) Meanwhile a bit of shopping for cheap board-shorts is in order, then off down the beach to catch the end of Diane's surf lesson.

Hope everyone's well,

Will.
