Laurel and Hardy, Abbott and Costello, Seinfeld and Costanza, some of the greatest enduring friendships in history, and thanks to our recent trip to Bali, we can now add…Indy and Angga to that list.
A ‘bro-mance’ made in heaven Bali. From the very instant these boys met, they were Bali Bruddahs for life! I guess both lads being conceived in Bali has grounded in them a spiritual connection to this beautiful island and ultimately, to each other.
Vegas doesn’t light up as much in each other’s company as these two boys. Right from the get go, there was laughing, smiling and much excited hand flapping between them. And language was no barrier to their symbiotic order of play and merriment either. Angga speaks both Indonesian and English while Indy has only mastered ‘Indyspeak’, yet they both seemed to communicate on a level of coordination rarely seen on So You Think You Can Dance.
After a day of swimming in our hotel pool, a couple days later we treated Angga and his parents (Gede and Ayu), to a joint birthday celebration at Lollipops Playland in Seminyak, where our little (and big) kids could run riot in an aquatic wonderland of fun and adventure. Fishing for goldfish and climbing through an array of slides, ball pits and trampoline equipment.
And on our final day in Bali we visited Gede’s Tattoo Shop, Gobang Tattoo, where our boys again frolicked and laughed as they rocked out to Gede’s guitar and revelled in each others company. And when it was time to say goodbye, these Bali Bruddah’s hugged and kissed each other farewell like lifelong buddies.
Looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship…Sampai jumpa!

Haha that last slide is like ‘we’re brothers – but your geting wayyyy to close!’
Hahaha! That’s right, Rory. I remember Indy backing away ever so slightly until he butted into the wall behind him. It seemed every time they got together, Angga wanted to hug or kiss him hello and goodbye.
