Today was Marine Water Sports Day! It was a blast!!

We had transport pick us up at 11am and then it was a 40-minute drive to the Nusa Dua area. Originally, we had considered staying at a resort in this area and then getting a scooter to visit the main beaches here in Bali. However, it seemed like it would be too far and boy was that estimate right. Not only is it way too much traffic for a scooter, it is also pretty far. Plus, all the Asian peeps seem to stay in the Nusa Dua area since that is where the nicer resorts are located. There was one main street, which seemed nice, but for the amount of time we spent here, we would have gone stir crazy!

In any case, we had a ton of fun with the water sports.

First up – Banana boat ride:
