Hi from Silas!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

Hello everyone!!! I'm here to update you on MY Bali experience. First of all, scuba diving. This is one of the BEST THINGS EVER and i recommend it to anyone whether in the frozen 3ft of snow confines of Maine to Bali. It was sooooo much fun!!! we put on our wet suits,skin tight may I add, the our scuba shoes (those to), then our regulators, extra regulator, water gauge, PDF inflating devise, PDF and oxygen tank all on one vest/PDF. And once we got into the water with 50 pounds of gear on my back, we got on the flippers and goggles. It doesn't sound like fun until you get into the water, then you actually have the time of your life. Basically its like floating in zero G's while thousands of fish swarm down in the coral reef of the WWII shipwreck. What happened to the ship was a Japanese torpedo hit a U.S. container ship and the captain drove it up onto the shore. Then tremors from an eruption of the nearby volcano shook it back into the water where it sank and turned into a coral reef! So we explored the ship wreck for a while and saw tons of cool wildlife. My favorite part was the bow which stuck out of the drop off, It was BIG.
Another thing we did was white water raft. That was fun to but scuba diving is better in my opinion. We went on level 2 rapids, but i like 3 better. the water bas murky because rainy season washed in the mud from the banks.but that didn't matter. we went off waterfalls and hit the sides of the gorge a lot. Whenever we were about to hit something we yelled BOOM BOOM and held onto the ropes on the side of the boat!
All of our hotels were awesome!!!!! The first two had private pools and the first had a toilet that could massage, heat the seat, and more. The first was the dreamland villas, that was the one with the toilet. the second was the Arma. This one was interesting because it had a outdoor balinese shower, that is basically a square pond with stones to stand on with a mossy stone shower that drops a stream of water onto you. There are also coy fish in the pond. Another INTERESTING thing about it was we had a gecko in there about the size of a MONSTER TRUCK! actually it was about 6 in long and tubby.
O.K. thats all I have to say for now!
