Dogs of Bali

FROM JOE - The trip so far has been better than I expected. I was pretty pessimistic at the start but the trip so far, and the places we have stayed, have been surprisingly similar to our Fiji trip back in 2014. 

The street dogs have got to be one of my favourite parts, as a dog lover it is great to see pups happily wandering down every Indonesian street and beach we pass.

The culture division between the rich and poor is also the same as what I remember in Fiji, although here the lower class is a lot more obvious. There are shop owners constantly trying to beckon tourists inside their stores. The tourists are just as bad, flooding certain locations with cameras in hand and completely avoiding the dirtier ones. 

The cheaper goods are one of my favourite parts of Indonesia, an opportunity we are unable to take real advantage of because of our strict budget and limited packing space. However I was still able to get a nice pair of fake Adidas.

So overall there have been an equal amount of good and bad times making Indonesia so far just average. The section I am really looking forward to is the European leg of the trip.
