BOOTSNALL IN BALI
After celebrating the high of his home country winning the Rugby World Cup, Nick then experienced the lows of losing all his keys and having to break into his own house. Add to that his laptop has been on the fritz for several days. Ahhhh....life in Paradise. Looks like he's got it all sorted out now and he's been able to add heaps of photos to help you get your Bali fix.
The rest of the BootBoyz descend on Bali at the end of this week, so we'll see what trouble we can get into in two short weeks.
