taking a rest in Medewi

While traveling on Java, many surfers told me that the line ups in Bali are so much more crowded than the ones on Java. But there was supposed to be at least one village that should be still less touristy, where the line ups are still not as crowded as they are in Canggu or Kuta. They recommended me to got to Medewi - a surfer‘s village which is more to the west side of Bali and still has a lot of Moslem influence 😊 so that was the reason why we planned to go to Medewi from the beginning on…We were so excited to surf in Medewi together that the expectations were already pretty high when we got there. We had booked 5 nights and were looking forward to surf and relax a lot. 🏄🏼‍♀️🏄🏼‍♂️🏄🏼‍♂️ buuuuuut unfortunately Mo and me still had symptoms of covid so we couldn’t go surfing and still had to isolate ourselves a lot. So the first days in Medewi Mo and me took a rest, and when the symptoms got better and Mo tested himself negative again (after 6 days in total, which I found quite fast) we just went to a coffeeshop most of the time, looked at the waves and watched other surfers. We were pretty disappointed in the beginning because we had been so excited for surfing ourselves (so our mood was not always the best😟), but I was also happy for Fynn who had two great days of surfing in Medewi. 😍

Things got better for us when the symptoms got better and we also had the negative test. We went out for dinner with Fynn to a quite fancy restaurant where generous Fynn invited us on nice meals and cocktails/mocktails 😊😊 The Puri Dajuma Restaurant had such a nice view and the food there was so good! Fynn ordered Satay with peanut sauce which was quite impressing as it came on a small barbecue 😄 we also got to know Luisa, a girl from Hamburg who stayed in the resort and invited her for a round of Uno Flip to our table (so German haha) - it was such a nice evening! 😊Read more
