Ubud - Nusa Penida. ⛴️

Ubud is the cultural center of Bali.🌱
The nature, temples, waterfalls, rice fields, and all the sights were really beautiful. The town itself, with its many cozy cafés, shops, and restaurants—was lovely too.✨
However, every place was so crowded but it still worth it.

As you can imagine, the traffic was also terrible.
Anyone can rent a scooter, license or not (including me 😆) I don’t actually have a license or any kind of experiences but after traveling through Southeast Asia, I definitely deserve one now.🤪

So, I took a scooter-taxi to the ferry terminal, which took me almost two hours, even though it's usually just a one-hour ride.🙄 At 1pm I took the ferry to the little but very famous Island Nusa Penida.🏝️ I chose the slow boat because, during breakfast, I met Lucas, who recommended it. He told me that sometimes the fast boats can capsize in rough waves—so I figured better safe than sorry.🙉🤭

Arrived, checked in, walked about three hours around and realized that I had totally expected a different kind of island.🤭 I was probably thinking of islands like in Thailand: Beautiful beaches, everything within walking distance, peaceful spots to relax, cute and fancy cafés to chill and read, and maybe a few yoga places but I was definitely wrong.😂
