    Day 1 - Jakarta

    13. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    Départ de Lyon : 12/06/23
    Arrivée Jakarta : 13/06/23

    C'est la première fois que j'apprehende autant un voyage.
    Les 17h de trajet entre Lyon etJakarta ont été si rapides.
    Dans le 2nd avion, à peine après avoir démarré le film d animation "Up", je m'endors assise sur mon siège. Mon voisin turc pose un oreillet sur son épaule pour que je puisse m'appuyer sur lui. A peine consciente, je le remercie et m'assoupie.

    Arrivé à Jakarta : classique le visa, les autorisations de territoire, l ATM bref rien de bien étonnant.
    En sortant de l'aeroport, j'ai le droit a une ruée de Taxis un peu oppressants,  me proposant de m'emmener à mon hôtel.
    Je décide de prendre le bus. J'ai du temps et c'est 5 fois moins  chère...
    A l arret de bus, je fais la rencontre d'une Malaisienne. Elle est hyper sociale et a l'aise. Elle semble adorer les français. Elle me montre les comptes de ses "amis"  français sur instagram. Elle m ajoute, je fais desormais partie de ses "amis". Le choque des cultures.
    Le bus m'amène à 40 min à pied de mon hôtel (Weward tmtc).
    L'air est humide. Je reconnais l'odeur si particulière de la street food asiatique.

    Bref j'adore les carambars 🫶

  • Day 2 : Jakarta

    15. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Jour 2 : Jakarta
    Je me suis réveillée hyper tard ce matin. JETLAG tu connais ..
    Je suis un peu perdue, il n y a pas grand d chose à faire à Jakarta. Je déteste cette ville. Elle est horrible. Je ne me suis jamais senti aussi vulnérable. Je mange un repas un peu degueu dans hostel, et je book mon bus cette nuit pour Yogyakarta.
    J ai pris une carte SIM pour avoir internet. Je ne le fais pas habituellement, mais étant seule je préfère assurer le coup.
    Tinder est mon ami. Je discute avec u. Français espagnol. Il me confirme qu'il n'y a rien à faire ni à voir à Jakarta . Peut-être être ai je rater un skybar valant la peau du cultures pour voir les hauteur de Jakarta... pas sûre d'être impressionner.
    Bref
    Arriver à la gare routière, je me fais ENCORE sauter dessus par plusieurs indonésiens voulant "m'aider".
    Je déteste. Je ne sais pas si c'est parce que je suis seule ou simplement l effet Jakarta.
    En1h je me suis faite "draguer'' plusieurs fois. Wallah on dirait des bledards. O. Me complimente plusieurs fois sur mon tztoue dragon. Ahah
    Aller c'est parti pour 14h de bus de nuit. J'ai du mal à dormir. hate d'arriver, j'ai l'impression de n'avoir pas vu grand chose encore...

  • Day 3 : Yogyakarta

    16. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Arrivé enfiiiin à Yogyakarta, depuis la gare je traverse la ville (50min)pour rejoindre hostel repéré. Je n'arrive pas à boomerang sur hostelword..
    Cette ville est un mélange de Chang Mai et je sais plus quelle ville.
    Je croise des écoliers mo tant dans la bus pour aller à l'école. "Miss, Miss, hello" , ils me sourient et des que je tourne la tête en souriant redeviennent timides. Tellement cute. Les enfants ont l' air d'aimer les occidentaux.
    Hostel est robuste mais tellement friendly. J'adore. Des anglais qui sont sur le départ me donnent quelques Tips.
    Je vais manger un bout, au retour j'entends une voix française. Zayan, 21ans, suisse, je les accompagne manger. Il est avec Nathan, 25 ans Belge qui voyage depuis 4ans. 😵‍💫
    On part découvrir la ville avec Zayan. On se perd dans de jolie ruelle. Yogyakarta, c est une grande villes d'Asie il faut plus de 45 minutes pour la traverser. Mais aucun immeuble. Sur une place (plutôt occidentalisée) un centre commerciale sur 3 étages max.
    (N'imaginais pas la Part Dieu, ça reste l'Asie, mais l'intérieur ressemble à n'importe quel centre commerciale).
    On va manger sur une immense place, les indonésiens se posent pour manger., jouer, discuter. C'est hyper vivant. Autour une trentaine de stand pour manger. On test des bouchées, du tofu (bcp en Indonésie visiblement) et une glace gouffre qui me fait retomber en enfance. Le repas n'est pas de la grande gastronomie, mais c'est fun !
    On rentre à l'hostel à pied. Y'a des anglais qui sont arrivés. 2 potes gars et 2 anglaises. Y'a dn
    'Autres français aussi.
    On discute autours de la table basse de l'hostel, des banalités, des vannes, c'est tellement cool! Hop go au bar.
    J'aime bien Yogya car il y a très peu de touristes. J'ai vraiment l'impression d'être immergé dans la vie indonésienne.

  • Day 4 : Yogiakarta

    16. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

    (OK je vais faire un effort de syntaxe)

    Réveil vers 10h30. Je prends un thé et je file vers Kraton , autour du Palais du sultan. C est éclaté en vrai.
    Mais je vous ai mis une petite photo insolite, on voit comme une minie chambre avec une télé, qui arrive directement dans la rue... wtf.
    Ici, les indonésiens ont bcp d'oiseau , c'est symbole de chance.
    Je rentre vers 13h pour manger un bout.
    L'après midi, c'est chillance à l'hostel, petit coup dans la piscine. J'aimerai bien bouger faire le sunset mais seule ça faire chère. Je sonde autour de moi.
    Au final je motive l'équipe pour faire le temple Prabanam et le sunset demain (Bam il faut être forcé proposition) et moi ça me fait des économies 🤑 .
    On part avec Zayan , les 2 potes anglais (Patrick et Jeb) ainsi qu'une petite française Julia faire un tour en ville. Nathan nous rejoint ensuite.
    Le voyage c'est aussi les rencontres et le partage. Trop fun.
    Ce soir je me couche tôt. Hate d'être demain

  • Day 5 - Last day in Yogyakarta

    17. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C

    Avec la petite équipe on fait le temple de Prabanam. Il y a deux temples stylés proche d'ici mais ils sont chère on a fait le plus proche.
    C était sympa mais vraiment chère (25$)
    Finalement on a pas eu temps de faire le sunset. (Tomorrow)
    Le ciel est gris, mais ce n'est pas la pluie, c'est à cause du volcan.
    La bouffe indonésienne (à Java) n'est vraiment pas ouf. C'est une cuisse de poulet et du riz blanc... ils ont très peu de légumes et de fruits. C'est assez bizarre comparé au reste de l'Asie... hate de descendre à Bali (oui mes plans changent...) askip la bouffe est meilleure.
    C'est grave cool j'arrive à bien communiquer en anglais. Je comprends quasi tout ce que les gens disent. J'ai encore un peu de mal à m'exprimer. Mais Step by Step.
    Je disais à Patrick en anglais 'I count on you for layer'' mais il a compris 'I cunt' (cunt=chatte) 😅🤣
    Je sais pas si je vous l'ai déjà dit mais j'ADORE les anglais.
    La team s'est agrandit avec Theo (bordelais) arrivé hier. Une française Louise de Besançon et la pote de Theo (ils s'étaient séparés).
    Bcp d'entre nous vont vers la même direction. Chacun s'arrête à des endroits différents et le rythme de voyage diffère. Y'a moyen qu'on se recroise.
    (J'ai bu qu'une bière depuis mon arrivée 😇😇)
    (Demain je commence à rédiger en anglais pour improve my english !)

  • Day 6 : Mon vrai dernier jour à Yogyakar

    19. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌙 24 °C

    It was my last day in Yogyakarta.
    Yogyakarta is not a really beautiful city but there are not lot of tourist. So it's really interesting. During this 3 last days, I could live like an Indonesian.
    Today we went at the view point by scotter (I didn't drive of course, I was with Louise) . riding a scooter in Indonesia is quite interesting, because it s the main transport used here.
    To drive in Indonesia seems crazy.
    I was a little bit disappointed because, we can't see the eruption volcano. I didn't know, but the eruption are at 2am (at morning), not each day. I think it's because it's cyclic.
    To wainting sunset, We play at a cardgame with the team at the top of the viewpoint.
    So let's go to sleep in night train.
    To go to the station, I take a "Crab" (like Uber but really less expensive) the way was 16RID but I didn't have change. I had just 50RID. I think the guy put the money in an other pocket... a young man has stopped nearby. I asked him for change. he paid part for me. He was really cute ! Bref I fell in love with an Indonesian. ❤️ It was one of the first time I find a pretty Indonesian. (He is just on front me in the train)

  • Day 7: Malang

    19. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌙 21 °C

    I arrived at 6:30 am on the morning. I didn't sleep a lot on the train, because of light , noise and uncomfortable seat. I put all my staff at the hostel, I was looking for a coffee open.
    On the street, I see the colored district "Kampung trydi Malang". (students took the initiative to color the houses to save the Neighborhood which is devastating to be Detroit). It was really pretty !!!
    After that I took a first breakfast. Back to the hostel, I talked with a Dutch, I took a second breakfast with her.
    You know what, take a shower it's really AMAZING! (I was really tired, but cheeck in it's only at 2pm.. so I was waiting for sleep).
    Some others guys were waiting with me (took the same train).
    I met few people (sorry I forgot them name).
    I found a new driver friends to go at the waterfall tomorrow.
    I start to learn English with duelingo.

  • Day 8-9 : Around Malang & Mknt Bromo

    21. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    J'écris en français parce que je suis tellement fatiguée !
    Le jour 8, REVEIL à 7h30 , on a prévu d'aller à une waterfall avec le groupe (Anglais, Irelandais, français, allemand, hollandais). Je suis montée derrière l'holandaise que j'avais rencontré la veille.
    Après 2h de route, la vue est magnifique, un espèce de trou dans la terre avec une immense cascade. Pour aller en bas de la cascade, il faut descendre des échelles hypers raides et étroite, c'est assez fun. En bas, c'est encore plus incroyable! L'une des plus jolies cascades que j'ai vu.
    On mange là bas puis on revient à l'hôtel vers 17h ou a8h je ne sais plus trop.
    Je vais faire une sieste (enfin c'est un bien grand mot). Vers 19h je commande a manger, on prepare note viré pour le mont Bromo avec Theo.
    Je lui ai proposé de le faire par nos propres moyens. Je n'ai pas envie de le faire en Jeep, c'est Boring et chère. Il est grave chaud, il veut bien conduire.
    Vers 22h je dois appeler Spretec pour mon taff. Visiblement le projet pour Tahiti semble bien parti.
    A 00h45 on décolle en direction du mont bromo. La route de nuit est incroyable. Au début il n'y a personne. Dans une nuit noire complète, on perçoit une magnifique nuit étoilée. Au bout d'une heure nous commençons à croiser pas mal de Jeep en direction du point de vu du Mont Bromo.
    On ne savait pas, mais on doit passer par un désert de sable pour arriver. Il est 1h30 et on galère dans le désert avec le scooter. Je descends quelques mètres pour laisser Theo pousser le scooter. J'avais un peur, il faisait nuit, on voyait les Jeep nous dépasser sans vraiment faire attention a nous. En plein milieu du desert un indonesien nous arrete, on comprens rien, on continue. Enfin on arrive à la ville en bas du point de vu vers 3h. En vrai on a perdu pas mal de temps mais on est large dans les temps. Ni une ni deux, on dépose le scooter et on cherche le début du chemin pour grimper au point de vu (on l'a vh sur des blogs de francais). Au bout de quelques metres, on croise deux français, eux non plus ne sont pas fans des Jeep. On fait la randonnée avec eux. On arrive au point de hu après 50 min de marche. Mais on décide tous les 4 de continuer jusqu'au meilleur point de vu. C'est encore 1h de Marche, pas mal de denivelé, on sait pas trop iu on va, il fait nuit, on est fatigués mais ça vaut le coup d'essayer d'arriver avant la levée du jour.
    Plus on monte, plus on voit des jeeps dans tous les sens. (Les jeeps c'est les tours organisés). Peu de personne font le chemin par eux même... tout le monde book des tours hyper chères, c'est dommage, ils ne verront jamais ce que nous avons vu...
    Arrivé en haut wouah, magnifique. Dommage que point de vu ne soit pas aussi paisible qu'il n'y paraît, avec toute cette foule autour.
    Mais le levr du soleil est incroyable, la vu sur le mont bromo est si atypique. Vers 6h30 on redescend la rando, on découvre au petit jour, notre randonnée nocturne. Le paysage est fantastique, on se croirait dans un film. Malgre les petites galere on ne regrette pas d'etre venu par nos propres moyens. Sur le retour on recroise nos 2 français. On prend un bon petit déj avec eux. (C'est l'avantage de ne pas prendre des trucs planifié...).Puis on part pour l'ascension du mont Bromo.
    Ca fait plus de 24h que je n'ai pas dormi, mais excitations de lieu me fait oublier la fatigue.
    On décide de ne pas reprendre ele même chemin afin d'eviter de s'embourber dans le sable. La route du retour est hyper raides, je peine a croise que Lyon arrivé à monter avec la koto .. la route est étroite, les Visage serrés. J'avoue are je suis pas hyper confidante, Theo gère ça mère en moto.
    Le route est tellement belle, on passe de village en village. Tous plus authentique les uns que les autres. Il y a 0 touriste ici. Puisque tous viennent au mont bromo par les tour organisé. Je ne comprends pas, cet endroit est très peu exposé dans les blog ou sur le guide du routard, pourtant c'est l'un des plus beaux endroits que j'ai pu voir. C'était magique. La vegetation était folle, Palmieri, bananier et plein d'autres arbre exotique.
    Alors conclusion, oui on a galèrer ça grand mère avec la moto, oui la rando était dure et fatiguante, mais wallah si c'était à refaire je le referai 1000fois. Desormais c'est sur, les tours organisés serons ma derriere option
    Bref ce road trip fait parti de mon top des experience de voyage 🥰

  • Day 10-12: Banijuwangy

    24. juni 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌙 25 °C

    After Mont Bromo, I didn't know if I wanted to stay at Malang or leave.
    I decided to leave with Julia for Baniyuwangy. There didn't have any place on train, so we decided to take local bus. It's long but really cheap.
    So on Day 10, I just took the bus ...
    My hostel was close, so I slept with Julia, she took a private room. It's funny because I didn't know a lot, but was 'normal'.
    Day 11, I visited alone the city. I meet a guy on a coffee. I would like to eat something, so he suggest a restaurant, his own restaurant. It was far, so I climbed on the back of moto to go there. I meet Julia and Yann Willem for dinner.
    Day 11: wake up early (usually in Java), we were (Julia, Yann Willem and Largot) hiking Mont Ijen. It was so hard but an incroyable place.
    We took a ferry to go jn Bali. (One hour more than Java).

    For example my first topic was 'relationship' or 'travel'...
    For the dinner I m join to Yan Willem. We eat together. I said to him " I will try not to drink , not to smoke, not got to party.
    Few moment later ...
    We were go on pub with live music, (Largot and julia join us) we took beer, smoked cigarette and dance. ...
    I was tipsy 🍻

  • Day 17-18-19- Canggu

    2. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 27 °C

    We were at Canggu at 5p.m

  • Day 20 -21 Uluwatu

    2. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

    My last moment in Canggu, I enjoyed the beach with some clouds.
    I listened music on the beach, thought about all the things in my head.
    I discussed a bit with an Indonesian. He tried to sold me some jewelry. Obviously I wasn't interested.
    This is on e the thing I hate in Asia, you can't be quiet. If you are alone, someone come to you to try to sell somethings.
    We took a Grab (uber) with Largot to go to Uluwatu.
    Every hostel was completely booked or really expensive, so we decided to take a room.
    The worst room that I took in my life I think.
    The room was crypsy. In this room there was two simples beds and a miroir. That's all.
    The mirror wasn't in a good place, and the switch was on the deep of the room. So stupid. The bathroom was soooo dirty. Fuck.
    Just on the way for the dinner, I felt sick. I wanted to vomir. I couldn't eat anything.
    I was sick, poison food I think.
    The next day, we have planned to surf, but I felt no good. I was angry 😠. Fuck poison food. I slept on the beach, and the evening I slept early.
    To go to this beach, the way was funny (1st picture). The beach was nice, but .... not free ....)
    Next day we lived early on the morning.
    So, I didn't enjoy Uluwatu... I don't recommend. It's like like a new city so isn't really authentic, not really beautiful, all is expensive.
    But my point of view is not reliable because I stayed just one day 2 nights...
    (Sorry I didn't take a lot of photos...)

  • Day 22 - Kuta (Lombok)

    3. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    We woke up early (6 am) . In travel, we usually to be wake up early, to prepare ours bags quickly, go out without breakfast, without coffe. Usually I can't ! When I m in France I have to have 1 hour to be ready , and at leat a big coffee.
    I felt better than yesterday night.
    We didn't booked any boat ticket. We would like to try to have ferry boat, and to have the local price.
    Surprise, when we arrived at the port, we understood that the ferry was further. Here we could take only the "fast boat" (not really faster than the ferry... but more expensive).
    So we didn't have the choice. We took a ticket there. I paid (500k RP, 30€.... for Indonesia it's really expensive).
    Largot planned to go in Nusa Penida (small island close to Bali) before Lombok.
    Personally, I wanted just leave Bali. So I took a ferry for Lombok directly.
    I love to take ferry.
    Jan Willem (the second Dutch Guy) was on the way for Nusa Penida to Lombok too.
    So, we met together at Bangsal (port of Lombok) to share the Taxi to Kuta.
    Jan Willem negociated the price. We paid 275RP at all against 500RP at start.
    We didn't took the same hostel.
    As per usual, the first thing I did, I put my bag and I enjoyed the sunset on the beach. Finally, a place with more local than tourist. It wasn't a pretty beach but more authentic.
    I walked on the smalls paths. the Indonesians were eating. I could ''observe'' their daily lives. They have little privacy. The houses face directly onto the street.
    The childreen and teennagers played at foot.
    The sunset was nice.
    Finally, I found the authenticity of Indonesian life that I had not been able to observe in Bali. ( Fuck Bali)
    When I went back at the hostel, I did the BBQ organized by the hostel. I met a new Dutch and two french. I was tired, them too. We went to bed not too late.

  • 23-24 Days : Kuta (Lombok)

    4. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    I woke up at 7 a.m
    I had booked a lesson of surf. It was soooo good. I want to surf well. It's one of my new target. I been stand up a couple of times. But just once I stay stand up few seconds on the board.
    To be honest, the coachs wasn't so good. The only thing they say was " try to be stand up". But they didn't explain what I missed. Like, if it's because my foot are not ont he good position or because I took the wave too early...
    So I think I have to take a new lesson but with a better coach.
    (I took a sunburn on my ass 😅)
    After that I met Jan Willem. He explained to me that the guy on his hostel were pretentious, and not opened minded. For example a girl complained because the Indonesians ask to take picture.. 🤦‍♀️ girl, you are an other country you have to be open with the host country.
    They don't do this for bads things. Just a puccie.
    We went go at a beach. I was still tired (still sick I thing ...) some Indonesians ask us pictures.
    Back to the hostel. I took my shower, and I directly slept. So tired. I didn't have any energies. Fuck poison food 🖕

  • Day 25-26-27 : Kuta (Lombok)

    9. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Day 25 :
    I didn't do anything but I spent lot of money, in cause of the fucking VISA.
    I wanted to stay more long time in Indonesia, so I extended my visa.
    If you have a e-visa it's really easy and just 5€. But if you are stupid like me, and you did a visa at the airport you have to paid 30€ if you to extend your visa by yourself. The problem is, when you do it by yourself you have to be 3 times at the visa office (to be honest I think it's just bullshit...) so to be tranquil, I paid a guy to do it for me. It was 1.200.000RP (80€) . I have to go just once .The office VISA is at 1h by car. I don't drive motobike. I paid 350k RP (23€) to and back.
    And finally, in the VISA office, you have to be covered. I didn't know. So I paid 40kRP (2,7€) to rent a tissue....
    My extend visa cost me 105 fucking euros.... 😒
    The worst, the guy propose to me to pay 150k RP to have my VISA now and don't wait one week more....
    Actually, all it's understood control of the Mafia. It's not really the government.
    So Tips, if you want to go in Indonesia, do your passeport in internet....

    OK the few next days were quiet.

    The Next day we were in a beach close to Kuta. The beach was pretty. I have no lot of thing to talk about this day.
    After we back to back to the hostel I met 3 engineer from New Zélande.
    They were so kind. I the beginning when they introduced themselves, I understood they from Neerland... fuck off...
    My understanding english is improving but not perfect 🥲

    (The dog 🥰 , I asked if I could stole it, but his maistress replied no 😒)

    At night we were go to party. I didn't drink alcool 😇

    Next day, I just chilled and relaxed before the rijani tour. I bought a bag to do it (not the best bag to hike..)
    I felt better.

  • Day 32-37 : Gili Menos

    13. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Gili Menos is the quitter island of Gili.
    It's like a village on an island.
    To be honest it's quickly to say what I did there:
    - Relax
    - Snorkling (I don't see turtles 😤, the spot is amazing)
    - Eat Lot of Smothie bowl and Crêpe
    - Enjoy the sunset

    I was with my favorite italien guy "Picolo Fabio''.
    (Picolo : Petit ; nana : Nain en italien. Fabio m'appellait Picola Nana, ce qui veut dire petite naine en Italien)
    We were in a answome hostel.
    The owner is french. I talked a lot with him About is life in Gili. He is an interesting guy but not a good person.

    By the way, I love this hostel, maybe my favorite one.
    It was so friendly.
    All of the people was so nice.

    (I don't remember which night) : I was looking for something to eat (at 21h) but all was empty. On the way an english guy call me, and invite me to take something to drink with them (him and a couple of Australian and an americain). I sit down at the table and order to eat then I took a honey moon cocktail. It's was a pretty good night. We finish to sing and dance at five on the "beach pub".
    The guy work in marketing in Bali and propose to me a job. Obviously I was just drunk. 🤣

    Oh yes I fall sick in Gili ... so I spend a couple of day at the hostel to do nothing... My body is completly out.

  • Day 38-39-40: Komodo Tour

    22. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Komodo Tour.
    The Konodo Tour is quiet famous in Indonesia. The most of backpacker traveller do it.
    It's a Cruz of 4 days 3 Night from Lombok to Flores.
    The Cruz is a big word ... in realty the boat was not really comfortable. But it was so cool. The team on the boat was pretty nice. We had a good mood in this boat. (To compare the other boat oupsy)
    We stopped at some point for sunset or to do Snorkling.
    The second day, we were wake up at 6 a.m, and 10 min after we swum with shark. So crazy.
    Snorkling was so amazing.
    At the end of day, the sea was pretty exited. Lot of people was seasick.
    I wasn't because I was already sick ... something like a flu. Be at early.
    The third day, we were on the Komodo National Park. We saw the Dragon of komodo. Personally I was a bit disappointed about the tour. It was just 30 min. The guides was funny.
    The last day, we did snorkling and we enjoy an island.

    It was a good experience. After the tour, the most of the people has been on the same hostel. And we were on a party.

    (I m better now but not at 100% . I don't know why, but I don't know one person that s not fall sick in Indonesia. That's crazy. All our stomach are not happy)

    So let's go to enjoy Flores !

  • Day 40-44 : Flores

    27. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    I planned to visit Flores. The problem it's I can't drive scotter. I mean, I can, but I m not really confidente with a scotter. So I changed my plan.
    (When I back to France, (if I back to France, I want to pass my motobike licence driver !!!)
    I will come back to Indonesia for sure.

    Day 41 :
    Lot of us were hang over. (Not me, I didn't drink a lot). It was so cool.plicated to find scotter for all of us. So we leaved the hostel so late. We visited a typical flores Indonesian village.

    Day 42 :
    I was at gym with 3 others guys of the group. I did so exercise with Max (upper body). And then, we sere go at the cave.

    Day 43:
    Again, we were at the gym with Max. It was so nice. (Lower body). I teach him "overhead lungees".
    Lot of people leaved this day.
    The afternoon, I was with Robbie, allias James Bond (He is english, has the eyes of James bomb and he so fucking mysterious) ahah
    We were at a waterfall together. It was nice. He is one of rare English who speak an other language. He is fluent in French. So we talk in French together, sometimes we switch in English. That's funny.
    I'm really happy my english improve everyday.

    By the way, he said to me " tu sais je ne suis pas vraiment attiré par les pieds, mais je dois dire que tu as de très beaux pieds " Et Bam les rageux !🤌

    Day 44 :
    We were in a private island with an other group.

    It' so strange, Jan Willem and Largo will back to home. So I won't see them again in travelling. Maybe in Europe. I don't know, these last tree days I say goodbye at lot of people. I mean, In Indonesia, I was never alone. During all my travel I was with the same person. Not all the time, but I know them since 6-7 weeks. It's not a lot but when your are in travel, all the emotions are decoupled.
    I m not sad. But it's like I feel alone.

    So will go back to Dempasar today (day 45) I will be with Fabio. He will leave the 29 to go to Australia.

  • Day 45-46 : Dempasar

    28. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    I took a flight between Flores and Bali. (I KNOW IT'S NOT ECOFRIENDLY but it's really hard to find an other way. There is no ferry, or not enought (like twice by month) it's expensive and long....

    In the aeroport of Dempasar I met Maude , à frenchgirl I met in Java a month ago.

    We share a room with Picolo Fabio, just to sleep well. To be honest, it wasn't my nest night ever. But better than the last fiveteen nights...
    Fortunately, my days are not busy because my night also..

    It was so funny, I show a picture of Fabio I took the day before. I compared to him to Tarzan (please tell my on the coment if I'm alright..(Sorry I fell too much like an "influenceuse")).
    He turn on the TV, and ... it was tarzan. 😅😅 amazing coincidence 🤣

    DAY 46

    Oh God! I took my shower, put soap on my body (yes yes yes), and when I clean my body, I feel hot water 😍 you can't imagine how I was so fucking happy to take a hot shower !!!!

    I didn't like Bali, and Dempasar is not 'the place to be'. I didn't visited a lot around me. (I just slept all the day or almost). BUT I love this place, I mean, It's not amazing, but I feel so good here. Maybe it's because there are not too much "white people".

    For the dinner, we took something on a nice place. We were almost full. We were looking for something else, like a desert. We walked on the street, suddenly I heard music on a small restaurant. The owner was playing guitar and singing. Just to enjoy the moment we took something in this place ahah. We asked them to go on to play. I love this kind of moment.

    By the way, I did the account .. good I spend too much money. (Transport and accommodation are more expensive than expected).
    My budget (normally) : 35€/day (33€ for a backpacker in average)
    My real budget is : 41€ or ~ +275€ (sans compter 40€ d'hors forfait inutile, et quelques aléas...)

  • Day 47-48 - Kuta (Bali)

    31. juli 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Day 47 :
    I took a smothie bowl for the breakfast. I precise, because the 47, I tried to don't eat anything else than fruits (and healthy cereal) , because I have lot of skin problem. (Picture)
    I think it's because of the food. So I hate my skin. I bought some products also to do a new skin routine. Here, the only thing I do on my face ... I clean my face everyday (that's already better than nothing 😶‍🌫️) I hope my skin will be better because I hate my face now 😐

    I said good bye to Fabio! Alone again. I took a not friendly hostel but I don't care I don't want to meet people, I just want to learn surf.

    On the walk path in front to the beach, I met a surfcoach. He proposed to me a good price to learn surf.

    The next day (day 48 pour ceux qui suivent). Finally I didn't find the guy, so I took a lesson with an other guy.
    The coach is Ludi (or Naruto). (I love when he calls me 'Nana' with his Indonesian pronunciation). He is 24, from Sumatra. The best coach. I stood up many times (not a lot 🫠) but the coach push me to give speed, so it's easier.
    I ate with him, and we saw the sunset together.

    He told me his life, his job etc...
    That's crazy, He works in Surfcamp.
    He earns 3 500 000 Rp /month. (250€) or 120k/j His boss is german. (Salaire moyen est d'environ 300€, mais bcp sont autours de 150-200€).
    If he is 5 min late, he loses 150k Rp on his salary ...
    If he is absent one day, he loses 500k Rp.
    (Yes, the calculations are wrongs...)

  • Day 49-50-51 - Kuta Bali

    2. august 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Day 49:
    I rented a board to surf alone. I stood up many times. I was so happy. That's exactly the kind of moment, I miss a travel partner just to share my happyness.
    For diner, Lukas and Niv came to my hostel to eat together. I didn't there was close to me.
    Day 50:
    Almost the same day. I fought with the board in the sea. It win ...
    I felt really well on the beach, because some instructor gave me so e advice to surf (also they were with client..).
    One moment, an instructor I didn't know gave me some advice, he asked me my name. And when I left the beach he says "ciao Nana''. That was nice. Ahah
    Niv left Indonesia. I ate just with Lukas for diner. Lukas is one of my best met here. I mean, this is a person, with who, I will may be friend in France in a different situation. All of the people I met are so nice, but some of them, in France I may not be friend with them if I m honest.
    Day 51:
    I planned to go to surf again. But when I woke up, I don't know why but I felt to be quiet this day. So wrote one my book. I started to read a book in English. (To be honest I m not really motivated but, I try all the way to improve my english).
    For diner, I joined Lukas to his place. All was closed at 9 a.m. I think it because there was a Holliday.
    We took street food, and we ate in front of the supermarket. Like Indonesia life.
    (Yes I m tanned now)
    Yes I love young coconut
    Sorry I didn't take lot of picture because it's not really interesting...

  • Nusa Penida

    4. august 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Let's go to Nusa Penida.
    For me, when you spend a long time in Bali, you have to go to Nusa Penida. One or two days is enought but you can enjoy to stay more long time.
    Arrived at the hostel I met Alfredo (from Argentina) and Simon from England. I did a beautiful beach and viewpoint with them.

    At the night, I met Flo from Belgium and Sandra from France (but she lives in Canada).
    I had good feeling with Florian. So after the diner, I talked with him until almost 2 a.m. He has been travelling for 11 months now. He started his trip by bicycle. He is really interesting. But he is a quiet negative about travel. Not because he is a negative person, more because, he is on a big down of travel. I think he need to relax a bit. I have the feeling, he don't enjoy 100% anymore. I can imagine his feeling, because à the beginning of my travel it was a little bit like this. My head was in France. (Sorry if I already say it)

    Next day wake up at 6:40 p.m
    Go to Snorkling to see Manta ray. It was amazing. Just that you see it was a little bit dirty where the manta were.

    Then, I did a nap before to take a lunch.
    I enjoyed the beach close to my hostel. Just a walk on the beach. Simple, efficient.

    Just on the way back to my hostel, I bought some fruits and vegetables. There is a kitchen in my hostel, so I wanted to cook.

    I discussed with an Brazilian girl. She worked in Australia.she gave me some advices for Australia. I gave her some advice for her travel in Indonesia.

  • Day 54-55 : Go back to Bali

    5. august 2023, Indonesien ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Day 54 :
    I went to gym. I did some crossfit exercice! It was funny because the gymbox was so small. The guys did exercice with the machines, and me I did burpees ahaha.
    I did :

    4 rounds :
    - 12 L sit (en gros des demi t2b stricts, mais le dos appuyé donc c'est plus simple)
    - 15 sit up (I introduced sit up because I saw the wod of Crossfit Azalea)
    - 30 gainage (Sorry I don't know in english)
    30" rest

    5rounds:
    - 10 kb squat @14
    -12 C&J @14
    -15 burgers
    1' rest

    2rounds (because an Indonesian waited the weight..)
    - 12 over head lungees @14

    3 Rounds
    - deadlift one arm @8kg

    Tabata
    Hollow / arch

    It was quiet hard, because I don't practice a lot here (to be honest I wasn't so bad ahah, I mean I thought it will be more complicated).
    I felt sooo good after this. I will try to go at gym at least one by week. This is when you don't practice anything that you know how sport is really important for healthy mind.

    Then, I took the boat to go back to Sanur. I visited a little bit Sanur. Boring city, but expensive. I met Flo. I took a diner together on the beach. I talked a lot with him. He loose his sister three years ago. I his a like the center of his family. He needed this travel. I don't know if his is really satisfied of his travel. I think it is time to go back to Brussel. I think the same. But his family planned to go to Nepal I August so he will visite Nepal before to go back.
    I hope to see him again, in a different context.

    Day 55:
    Sorry I didn't do anything really interesting.
    I just ate. Oooh yeah, I went in a bookstore to buy a english book. I found a book few days ago in a hostel. A love story. But the book is really big, and I don't like to read a lot so .. I wasn't really motivated. So I found a small book, the only one. And guest what. I talk about ... Tahiti. Ahah when I saw it, I said to myself that it was a sign.
    I planned my next week of travel. I mean "planned". How you know me, useless to precise that I didn't book anything.

    I leave Indonesia to Singapor the 7th August. I m exiting. I spent two amazing months but it's time to change. I feel like for my first flight. Like it's a new travel. These last days was quiet calm. I changed my mindset of travel. Before I wanted to do the maximum of things in a minimum of time. But now I prefer to take my time, and listen to myself.

    I enjoy to share my stories in this application in English. (And no I don't use Google translate, I mean sometimes I cheek vocabulary or I write in English but that's all. That's why sometime thre are lot of mistakes..)
