The big slides at Waterbom220 viewsWaterbom (pronounced "Waterboom") is a water park in Kuta.
|
|
Slides at Waterbom199 viewsThe slides are (left to right): Smashdown, Boogie Run, and Racetrack (last two)
|
|
Slides at Waterbom209 viewsThe Racetrack feautures side by side tracks, with a bump in the middle which makes you fly above the track as you come down. As well as the slides shown, there are a couple of tube rides (one with a long enclosed section), and a twisty Jungle slide.
|
|
Smashdown at Waterbom232 viewsThe Smashdown is the most extreme slide at Waterbom. It features an almost vertical drop after an enclosed entrance. The speed of falling and force of water when you hit the bottom are exhilirating (and a bit scarey!)
|
|
Boogie Run240 viewsThe Boogie Run (wider track) is a side by side slide, where you go down the slide head-first lying face down on a mat. Vic and I went on this together and agreed it was pretty good, and not as extreme as the others shown on here.
|
|
Street in Kuta, Bali207 viewsOur last day in Bali was spent at the Waterbom, followed by an afternoon of souvenir shopping.
|
|
Last night in Bali226 viewsOur last evening in Bali was spent at Kuta. We finally got a cloud-free horizon for a perfect sunset
|
|
Sunset at Kuta196 viewsThe colours were fantastic
|
|
Sunset at Kuta209 viewsThe sunset was only marred by one thing. Anna "Big Banana" decided to do a hard-sell of her manicure/pedicure services to Victoria. When Vic assented to the "free sample" we were quickly surrounded by Anna's beach-seller friends who proceeded to hassle us for the entire sunset (to little effect, we weren't buying!)
