Breakfast with the nice Dutch family who are cycling round Bali, we first saw them at the opposite end of the island. Lots to do today so pack bags & go out. We must 1: secure a room for later. 2: see if estate agent has found us accomodation. 3: Milk ATM again. All by 13:00 when the boat leaves.
Start with ATM - easy bit. Then the estate agent who has nothing then look at a few hovels but find nothing until the Swastika (no, nothing to do with the 3rd Reich, it's the symbol for the 9 gods) which is nice. It's now about 10:30 so we stop at free wi-fi bar and have tea - at 11:00 the phone rings and it's the estate agent. He says "you come double quick". We (reluctantly) close our internet connection and go. He takes us by car (10 mins to enter traffic jam, 3 mins to destination) to the most delightful little complex of 6 new bedsits. It's now 11:45, remember we have to have checked out of our room and left by 13:00. At 12:00 we're still negotiating the price & availability, at 12:15 we shake hands and at 12:30 we leave with a house for 2 months.
Agent drives us back to the hotel just in time to leave for the boat, or so we think...
