Klingking & Klanking & Snorkelling
February 6, 2023 in Indonesia โ ๐ง 26 ยฐC
Sitting above a lush green valley with mango ๐ฅญ and banana ๐ trees we are all devouring traditional Indonesian noodles topped with egg ๐ณ and 5 day old prawn ๐ฆ crackers ๐
…was nice enough but certainly won’t win any chefs hats this year ๐
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 ๐ were ‘bouncing’ around everywhere… as long as they keep off my head they can do whatever they like ๐๐ป
We went to the stunning Angel Billabong (…no jolly swagman) and Broken beach ๐ 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 ๐ in thongs ๐ฉด and no helmet ๐ช)
…Welcome to Bali, where safely is not our motto! ๐๐ซก
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 ๐คฟ on the reef ๐ชธ That was truly amazing ๐ก๐ ๐๐ฆ
…a little rough on the high sea ๐ but so relaxing under the water. The water was warm as a bath ๐
Snorkelling is always such a mindful activity. Loved ๐ฅฐ it!
The head of VicRoads would have an instant coronary if he was to experience the pot holes ๐ณ 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 ๐ 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! ๐๐๐Read more
Traveler Wow looks like you are having such full days, I would be exhausted ๐ฉ. Mmm the food maybe not. Love the little monkey watch your wallet / glasses/ hat etc etc. Scenery looks amazing I honestly thought it would be people everywhere so lovely to see there is space. When you mentioned the road & the bumps my mind went back to the bike ride in Italy & my poor stomach.
Traveler Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh Robyn. Nothing compares to Italy ๐ฎ๐น NOTHING. I know you understand x
All sounds really Great Troy --keep on enjoying it all -- I'm sure you will !! ๐๐ [Dad]
