Tejakula

Bali, Indonesia
I walked[code][/code] out of the aiport and the heat and humidity hit me in the face. I love asia. The taxi drivers drive like Fangio or you grandmother and just cut lanes. I love asia. 
I explained to the driver there are 4 bus stations but i told him which one i wanted and a hotel nearby. He did great showed me the bus station and the hotel was a couple hundred mtr up the road. The hotel was a bit rough but i have stayed in worse.
Thr next day i walked to the station and had breakfast then went to get a ticket. Im in the wrong station. Another taxi to the right station. I didnt have to wait long for thr bus. The plan is to go to Candidasa, stay the night then go further north. As it happened when i got there there was another bus going north in about 5 min so i kept going.
I got off in Tejakula. I have done some research for here and there are a few small resorts here and Lonely planet has a backup if I cant find something. Its early arvo so i have plenty of  time. I found a place but a bit expensive so i moved on down the beach. It was hard to tell resorts from houses in some cases. One place wanted $400 per night. WHAT? No thanks? I found some kids on the beach fishing and they pointed me to a place. As I walked through the place looked great but i thought out of my price range. I also noticed no people around. I hit the boss for 1/2 price and he wouldnt but eventually he agreed to 2 nights for the price of one. It turns out there is only me and one couple here and there are about 20 rooms? The next day another couple and a guy checked in so the place is really quiet, so i hit him for another 2 for 1 deal. He wouldnt cop it but i did score 3 for 2 so i am here for 5 days. 
There is 2 pools, the rooms are spotless and it is right on the beach. It is just quiet and tranquil and i love the place. There is only a few of us here and we are all getting along so it is great. There is a "reef" out the front and they have snorkle gear so that is a bonus.
I did this entry in me phone so it has been a mamoth effort by me. I will post some pics when i get a chance.
