Gosh we have been thru a lot since the last post!
Spent time in Lovina (as a hub for day trips) - saw waterfalls, rice fields, and beautiful villages ... we then headed across the coast West near Gilimanuk. We found a great place to stay - Manjangan Resort - in a National Park. Lots of wild deer (2 kinds) roosters, and monkeys. We had a very small bungalo, but it was right off the water - watched the sun rise every morning. We had a GREAT time snorkeling - best coral we ever saw just off Manjangan (deer) Island! Hiked around the park - even ran into a komoto dragon (saw from a distance - we turned around and went the other way quickly).
As we were packing and ready to go - Scott twisted his back VERY badly (could not move, stand or sit up) we got him into the bed - after there was no progress from the icy-hot and pads we had, we ended up calling in a therapeutic masseur from a near by village with the help of the housekeeping boy. He worked on Scott that evening and again in the morning ... Ketut recommended we get relaxers - Seffey took me to a local Doktor for medication - slowly Scott was able to walk and move ... four nights later we did leave and head back to Ubud. Amy had to drive - yikes now I know how crazy it really was to be in the drivers seat (poor Scott).

Hey !
ReplyDeleteI just sent a couple of e-messages. I've been kinda listening to TV---lot's of commentary on Ted Kennedy. As you likely know---he passed away today. Anyhow--glad to hear you are up and moving, Scott. Pretty d---scary. I had no idea you also had some back liabilities. BE careful.
We rode Sunday and yesterday--today it rained ALL day and was all of 64 F. Fall is on it's way. Are you still on 'schedule'?? We are still planning our UP trip--far cry from Bali---but we will get our fill of waterfalls!!
We had good fun with Chris and family at the Cabin a couple of weeks ago--it was even summery and warm and only stormed at night.
Keep writing!! Love to hear from you!
G'nite. Love Barb and Dad
Good to hear from you! Yikes - that fall is on the way already!!! Sorry we missed time with you two at the cabin - we are glad to hear you are enjoying the summer! We are on schedule and moving along the planned route ... always thinking about you and how much you would be enjoying the sites and experiences as well.
ReplyDeleteHi guys!
ReplyDeleteWe missed this post...LOVE the picture! Hope Scott is feeling much improved...absolutely no fun having back issues..especially while traveling. Amy, sounds like you were a top-notch caregiver!
Have a super weekend!!!
