Canggu - Ubud. 🌱

I spent two days in Canggu, one of the most popular destinations in Bali, for travelers. It's well known for its beaches, surfing, and the huge variety of cafés, restaurants, and bars. I walked many kilometers along the beach, just relaxed, and enjoyed some delicious food. (The first time since I started traveling that I ate meat, chicken - A typical Balinese dish: „Nasi Goreng Ayam Satay 😋🐓)

While walking, an Indian guy started talking to me and ended up joining me. He has been traveling for 13 years and had never met anyone from Switzerland before. For him, it was something really special – almost unbelievable. We met again the next morning for breakfast and had a great conversation about our cultures and countries.🤗🇮🇳 (He’s an Instagrammer, so he liked to take a nice picture of the two of us 😄)

Later, I booked a Gojek (which is more common than Grab) to Ubud.🛵 Ubud is located in the jungle and is famous for yoga, spirituality, waterfalls, rice fields, and temples.😍 The ride took about 1.5 hours by motorbike. Sitting on the back with a heavy backpack wasn’t easy – and to make things worse, it started pouring with rain. (And it's not even the rainy season 🙄😂)

We arrived around lunchtime, and it kept raining until 4:30 PM. I just sat there, read my book, and waited for better weather. Sometimes I put pressure on myself because I want to see too many things.🙈 – and there really is so much to explore.🌱 Luckily, the rain finally stopped, and I went out for the Campuhan Ridge Walk – one of the three things I had planned for today.🙏🏽🌞Read more
