I left John and flew to Bali just in time to beat my brother and his friends to the hotel. It had been two months since I had seen David and in that time he had been busy growing one of the nastiest lumberjack beards I have ever seen. If you know David, then you know this did nothing to hide that annoying (only if you are his older sister), yet very charming smile.
David was traveling with three friends I instantly liked (well except one...) and knew they would love Bali. I only got to spend one day with them before flying to Singapore to renew my tourist visa and meet Tegan. We made the most of it: bungee jumping, day-drinking, beach volleyball and clubbing. I learned a couple lessons that day: beers at 10 am are necessary before bungee jumping, locals only put a beer on a volleyball game if they know they will win, they sell the beer they bet, taking a nap after day drinking but before you want to go to Sky Garden is a bad idea, and if there is a McDonalds within 100 meters everyone will meet there at the end of the night.
I had a great time with them but was happy to leave - there is no way I could keep up with them for a month!
Before David returned to Calgary, Tegan and I were finally able to catch up with the group in the Gili Islands for some snorkeling, spear fishing, and partying.
