    Klingking & Klanking & Snorkelling

    February 6, 2023 in Indonesia โ‹… ๐ŸŒง 26 ยฐC

    Sitting above a lush green valley with mango ๐Ÿฅญ and banana ๐ŸŒ trees we are all devouring traditional Indonesian noodles topped with egg ๐Ÿณ and 5 day old prawn ๐Ÿฆ crackers ๐Ÿ˜
    …was nice enough but certainly won’t win any chefs hats this year ๐Ÿ˜œ

    Our driver has just taken us to the absolutely awesomely picturesque & awe inspiring Klingking Beach, which looked exactly like the travel brochure images! The only way to get down to the actual beach would be steep trekking, thus taking your life into your own hands!
    Little monkeys ๐Ÿ™Š were ‘bouncing’ around everywhere… as long as they keep off my head they can do whatever they like ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

    We went to the stunning Angel Billabong (…no jolly swagman) and Broken beach ๐Ÿ Both stunning but riddled with lots of tourists. Gotta love being able to walk right to the edge of a cliff drop with no guardrail! (…or ride a motorcycle ๐Ÿ in thongs ๐Ÿฉด and no helmet ๐Ÿช–)
    …Welcome to Bali, where safely is not our motto! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿซก

    We came across to Nusa Penida Island in a boat that was slightly below OHS standards, lacking life jackets but making up for it by being full of character, stopping half way across to do some snorkelling ๐Ÿคฟ on the reef ๐Ÿชธ That was truly amazing ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ ๐ŸŸ๐Ÿฆ€
    …a little rough on the high sea ๐ŸŒŠ but so relaxing under the water. The water was warm as a bath ๐Ÿ›€
    Snorkelling is always such a mindful activity. Loved ๐Ÿฅฐ it!

    The head of VicRoads would have an instant coronary if he was to experience the pot holes ๐Ÿ•ณ which cover every inch of the roads on Nusa Penida & Nusa Lembongan. This is where the Klanking part of today’s title comes in: We Klanked & Klonked all over the island ๐Ÿ I can only imagine what the suspension of their vehicles is like after a year on these roads!

    We missed out on seeing Crystal Bay but we could not take anymore “Klingking & Klanging”! Besides, we had to get back to our beautiful resort for ‘Happy Hours’ 4-7 and to see Special Friend Sandy Klingking her annoying big balls! ๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™‰๐Ÿ™‰
