We had a final night out last night on Kuta town with Leon and did those
classic Indonesian things like eating Tex-Mex and playing pool.
We left Bali this morning bound for Kumai, Kalimantan. Hopefully to see some
orang-utan in the wild before they can only be found looking miserable in
zoos.
The cuisine de bateau now seems to be French and there is now a bit of
elegance and finesse that has been lacking in Grapto's dining hall recently.
It's been wet today and there were some huge waterspouts nearby as we
motored up the east coast of Bali. Night time is also not easy hereabouts as
the local fishing fleet goes in to stealth mode and considers navigation
lights or radios to be a bit girly. As I write we are weaving our way
through some small boats we can only see when they light up their ciggies.
