  • Get me some sun 🌞

    2025年8月5日, インドネシア ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Breakfast at Risata then coffee at Nuka before Jenny had her injectables at Radiance.
    Then Pool time......the pool at Risata was quite busy but we had a couple of lounges brought out for us.
    We used the re-opened Pool Bar and chatted with some other regulars.
    Had lunch by the pool and then had a doze before heading back to the room to freshen up to go to Jimmy's Bar.

  • Getting to Nusa Penida

    2025年8月6日, インドネシア ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Kadek picked us up from Risata and drove us to Sanur to catch a fast boat over to Nusa Penida.
    On arrival, we found out that all of the boats from Sanur were cancelled due to a fatal accident that had happened yesterday. So, after some negotiations with staff at The Sebali, our accommodation on Penida, Kadek drove us one hour north to Kusamba where we caught another fast boat to Penida.もっと詳しく

  • Kelingking Beach

    2025年8月7日, インドネシア ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We had breakfast and then drove with Gede to Kelingking Beach, 45 minutes along narrow and sometimes bumpy roads.
    The scenery is everything I imagined but somewhat tempered by the Glass Elevator being built by a Chinese consortium so that people can walk on the pristine beach below. Should never have been allowed. 😟
    Tourists and monkeys everywhere kind of spoils what is an amazing place.

  • Welcome to Candidasa

    2025年8月8日, インドネシア ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    We were met at the Fastboat terminal by Buddy, a contact from our last trip to take us to Candidasa.
    There had been an accident (Bus on fire) on the road earlier so we had to take a huge detour through small villages on narrow roads which slowed us down somewhat.
    We arrived at Hotel Genggong, had lunch then walked into town to get supplies.
    Had some peaceful pool time until after sunset then searched the local area for dinner.
    We found the Sarira Restaurant in the Ariras Resort and it was spectacular.
    I had the Balinese Chicken Curry and it was sublime.
    We looked for a Spa after dinner but none were open so we retired to our rooms.

    2025年8月9日, インドネシア ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Breakfast then a chilled morning.
    Walked the main street to the Temple, coffee and donuts at Wacky Jacky's.
    Drinks by the beach at Pandan Restaurant.
    Lunch at Aquaria Hotel and Spa.
    Massage on the way back to Genggong and met up with Nengah, our driver from our previous trip.
    Chilled by the pool for the remainder of the day before getting ready for dinner at Vincent's.

  • Amed

    2025年8月10日, インドネシア ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Not a great start to our Amed stay as we realise that where we are staying (Vienna Beach Resort) is not what we expected.
    We couldn't use the pool or restaurant as they allow people from outside the resort to use their facilities.
    Long story short, we've cancelled the next two nights and found rooms at Seamount Hotel.
    But we did find a nice spot for lunch - Coral View, and then for dinner - Tumpek at Hidden Paradise cottages in the evening.

  • Amed re-set

    2025年8月11日, インドネシア ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    We checked in to Seamount Hotel at 10.30am but the rooms weren't ready until 2pm so we walked the street and did a bit of shopping.
    Had drinks and lunch at Teatro Bar on the beach then went for a 1.5 hr full body massage.
    Had a long relaxing swim back at Seamount, had pre drinks at R&Ks room while the sun set, then walked to a close by Beach Warung for dinner, sitting at a table on the sand. Perfect 👌.

    Went to the beach at 6am for sunrise. Didn't dissapoint.
    Walk up the street to Mejore for coffee and back to Seamount for breakfast

    Sat by the pool until lunch then walked up the street to find a cool lunch spot. Ended up across from the hotel.
    Chilled back in the room and had a sleep in the afternoon.
    Pre drinks at R&Ks balcony then walked along the beach to Teatro.
    Had a great night with live music then had rooftop drinks down the road then a walk back to the hotel around 11pm.
    Kadek had messaged us to say he couldn't pick us up in the morning due to his foot.

  • Back to Kuta

    2025年8月13日, インドネシア ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Arrived back at Risata late afternoon, checked in, unpacked, changed some money and got down to Jimmy's Bar for drinks and sunset.
    Richard went to the Brazilian BBQ for dinner. Jenny, Kendra and I were meant to dine at Santorini in Kuta but they were full with a half hour wait so we walked to Warung Damar.
    I went back to the Risata while the others had a massage. 😴
