Day 4 in Bali - Waterbom park in Kuta

After a late(ish) start, we set off to have breakfast in a frech cafe, with a very politically incorrect bun 9see photos) and then to Kuta beach to provide some fun and entertainment to Max. A water slide park, and what a park Waterbom proved to be. Awesome !

Our hostesses son Zen, a lovely 11y old kid, tagged along for the ride. In other words I had 2 kids to coordinate. The slides at the park are amazing, pure thrill, yet having a lovely part for really small kiddie winkels too. It is a bit pricey, but at this stage what does it matter ? It's great and it is safe.

Best ride was the Climax, a 15 meter straight drop and then some snaking around to stop you. Scary stuff. But once you have overcome the fear of the gallows door opening underneath you it is great fun and mega fast. This video was not shot by me, as my camera is not waterproof. So fear not - I did not undergo plastic surgery

Afterwards we set of to Jimbaran beach to eat some freshly grilled fish. The fish was great, so were the prawns. It was very pricey though, when you take into consideration where you are. I doubt that at the Med' they charge you substantially more. Ok the setting straight on the beach was sublime, and would it not have been for the clouds we would have seen a lovely sunset.

But is all this worth a european price tag in a country where the average post grad salary is 700$ ? I somehow do not think so. I am not negative, but I find it sometimes a bit upsetting, when you get charged through your teeth in an area where two road row down, people live in shacks like shanties.

But anyway - it was a great day and we all had fun and this is what counts. So Waterbom plus 1, Guido like this.
