Nusa Penida🏝️ - Uluwatu.⛴️

Early in the morning, I brought the scooter back to the hotel where I had rented it. The lady at the reception was kind as always and organized a scooter taxi for me to the ferry terminal, because taxi apps like Grab or Gojek didn‘t work on the island.🤗 I took the ferry at 8 a.m. and decided to go to Uluwatu, which was about 1.5 hours away from the ferry arrival point by scooter taxi.🛵
I booked a stay for three nights, but already on the second day I cancelled one of them.🙈

Uluwatu, also one of the most famous places in Bali, wasn't as nice as I had expected.🤭 Sure, the fancy cafés, restaurants, and the shops with beautiful and modern clothes were lovely, but I wasn't interested in shopping or spending the time in cozy cafes or shops.🙈
On the first day, I went to Padang Padang
Beach, the most popular beach in Uluwatu.🌴
What I didn't know was that it's actually a very small beach, and even though I arrived in the morning, around 10:30 a.m., it was already very crowded and hard to find a spot to relax. I had imagined a peaceful place to rest and read, but the music was so loud that reading was impossible.😅 In the afternoon it started to rain, so I spent the time in a restaurant - eating, drinking, and thinking about what l'd like to do over the next few days.🙃

I found another beach not far from my hotel, just a 25-minute walk. So on the second day, I went to Thomas Beach. Luckily, it wasn't very crowded, but honestly, it wasn't the most beautiful beach either.🤭Still, I was simply happy to have found a quiet spot to relax.🥲
I decided to leave Uluwatu earlier than planned, cancelled my final night at the hotel, and returned to Canggu. - where my Bali journey had begun. I chose Canggu again because | knew it would be the best place to spend my last few days: relaxing & walking on the beach, joining yoga and meditation classes, and enjoying delicious food.🧘🏻‍♀️✨🍛🍍🥝🤗Baca lagi
