      No waterfalls for us in Lovina :(

      22. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

      On our last morning in Amed Mo woke up with a sore throat. I had a headache already since a few days so I thought it would be the AIr Conditioning which maybe had been too cold during the night. But after a breakfast (with a view!) at the blue earth village restaurant, Mo still didn’t feel good and did a covid test just to be sure. Sadly the test result was directly positive. Our symptoms got worse and when Mo and me took a shuttle to our next destination (Lovina) Mo had already flu symptoms. We contacted Fynn, who was on a diving tour that day and would ride to Lovina after the trip with the scooter that he rented. My symptoms weren’t as bad as Mo‘s but I also felt very weak and had pain in my joints.

      We (somehow) managed to hang our mosquito net in our new accommodation in Lovina and went straight to bed again. Luckily Fynn didn‘t have any symptoms and brought us a lot of fruits 😊 actually we wanted to visit many stunning waterfalls in the area around Lovina but due to our symptoms we only saw the street and the beach directly next to our accommodation. 😃We always bought meals from the Warung nearby for take away - Putu Warung - where the food and the juices where so good and at the same time so cheap! Putu was such a lovely host and seemed like such a wise man aswell. He told us about his family, his Hindu traditions and his cooking philosophy 😄

      Fynn didn’t feel sick and had a great time exploring (almost all 😃) the waterfalls nearby on the next day. In the evening we sat together on the terrace (with a lot of distance) and he told us about his adventurous day 😊 one other highlight was discovering a Martabak stand nearby - which I already had on Karimunjawa with Denise, Zoé and Jonas - Mo and Fynn also liked the pancake-like desert a lot 😍😃      Læs mere

      Snorkeling the japanese ship wreck 🤿

      20. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      On our last day in Amed we went to a rocky beach where we could go snorkeling. We saw the sunken Japanese ship wreck, which was quite cool! Even if it is not proven that the ship wreck is from Japan, it was quite exciting to snorkel around a ship wreck, which is already full of corals and fishes, that is supposed to be used in the Second World War.
      After snorkeling we went to a Warung nearby, where I had a very good Gado-Gado, and waited until the rain would stop…🥜🥦🍆

      Because somebody told me that there should be a good place for taking a yoga class near Amed we stopped at the Blue Earth Village, which turned out to be a very fancy place/hotel with a lot of activities offered: diving lessons, yoga classes, gym and a very nice swimming pool (which is probably mostly used for learning how to dive). I decided to take a Slow flow class in the evening and enjoyed Mertha‘s class a lot! Also the yoga shala itself was worth a visit, during yoga we had an amazing view on the coast and also you could see a vulcano in between the clouds directly in front of you. 😍
      Mo and Fynn came to the blue earth village after my class and we had a very nice last dinner in Amed together - such a nice vegan Nasi Campur (mixed rice)!! 🫠      Læs mere

      Desperately searching for viewpoints 😅

      19. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      To combine Mo’s necessary drive to a SIM card store with a tour to see the surroundings of Amed, we rented two scooters and visited a few sightseeing points around the area. After a nice start into the day at our breakfast café we visited Tirta Gangga. The Hindu water temple was quite beautiful and - without having arranged an appointment - we coincidentally ran into Fynn. Actually we wanted to meet him in the evening in Amed where he wanted to join us so it was a nice surprise to run into each other already earlier that day. 😊 the roads that we drove were beautiful and directly next to rice fields 😍 we relaxed at the virgin beach for a while and visited a cacao tasting (where the people were unfriendly 😅).

      On our way back we wanted to stop at two viewpoints from which one should have a nice view on Mount Batur and the coast, but unfortunately we couldn’t even find one of them. 😅The roads were very steep, already high in the clouds and sometimes also muddy - even if the small adventure was fun we decided to turn back home when the daylight began to fade and we still didn’t find the viewpoints.
      In the evening we met up with Fynn in one of the Warungs in Amed and had a nice first dinner together - and toasted with Arak 🙂      Læs mere

      Discovering the northern coast of Bali

      18. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      At first mo and me were a little bit disappointed when we arrived on the northern coast of Bali. Haven’t they told us it would be a sleepy fisherman’s village which should be so much less touristic? There were still so many homestays, hotels and resorts next to each other and nearly everyone on the road tried to convince us to buy or book something from him - bracelets, snorkeling tour, hotel room, and so on.
      - even some of the Balinese kids had already their own selling strategy (“how are you? Where are you from? What’s your name? Do you want a bracelet?”), which was so sad to see.

      But after we got used to the touristy part of Amed we also started to enjoy the restaurants directly at the beach and had a nice evening in Warung Bobo. Mo ate some fresh Barracuda fish and the Warung had even some live music :)

      We stayed in Sama Sama Amed, such a nice place! Our beautiful room had a nice terrace with a garden view, where we could do some yoga asana in the morning. On our first day in Amed we rented a scooter to discover the surroundings and the smaller villages around the area. The road was right next to the coast and everything looked so beautiful. The smaller villages nearby which also belong to the region of Amed were less touristic and we found a small romantic Warung directly next to the sea where the prices were about the same as on Java. I tried the typical Balinese liquor Arak and the taste reminded me of the partying times during uni🤭😅      Læs mere

      last day in Ubud ☀️

      17. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

      On our last day in Ubud Mo and me visited some small walks around Ubud like the Campuhan Ridge Walk and the Kajeng Rice Fields Walk.

      Because we managed to get up early again we were rewarded with a sunny morning without many tourists😊☀️also we have been visiting the Saraswati-Temple in Ubud - a Hindu temple with a Lotus pond around it. The huge pink lotus flowers were very impressing and the temple, which is dedicated to the goddess of learning, literature and art, looked also beautiful.

      Even if we saw a lot of nice things in the last hours in Ubud we were quite happy to leave touristy and crowded Ubud for our next destination: Amed, a fisherman’s village in the northern part of Bali which was said to be less touristy.      Læs mere

      Tegallalang Rice Terraces 🌱

      16. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 23 °C

      On the third day in Ubud we finally were motivated enough to get up before 7 am in the morning - which was totally worth it. We could enjoy the sun in the morning in our nice accommodation during a short yoga session. After breakfast we drove to the famous rice terraces Tegallalang. They were touristy and impressing at the same time. So many people tried to sell us something 🫣 but we had a nice hike there and treated ourselves with a cold drink in a restaurant above the rice terraces afterwards -nice view! and they even had a pool to use 😍 we stayed for about two hours because of the heavy rain that started after we finished our swim there 😅
      The rest of the day we just enjoyed good food and relaxed. My highlight was a local restaurant which a local recommended to me: Warung Biah Biah. We went there for dinner and tried different balinese spaecialties 😍      Læs mere

      rainy Ubud ☔️

      15. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

      Ubud is said to be the center of Balinese spirituality and starting point for day trips to beautiful rice terraces and waterfalls - but above all we found that Ubud was rainy. 😅☔️ in all the weeks that I traveled during rainy season I had never seen a rain like in Ubud - which wasn’t too bad most of the time because finally after three month of not seeing each other Mo flew to Bali and finaaaally we met again in Ubud 😍 so when another apocalyptic rain fall was starting we could also enjoy our time together in cozy Cafés and restaurants just talking to each other and catching up. 🧡
      Still the rain caught us most of the days during our trips in and around the city, because we didn’t want to wake up early and at first we didn’t get that the best time for starting activities in Ubud is always between 6 and 10 am. 😅🫣 If you leave your hostel after that time, there was a high chance of getting soaked😃

      So it was a good chance to test the resistance of our rain capes and practice our motor bike driving skills (hello aqua planing) 😅🫣 At the beginning of my trip I would have never guessed that I would dare to ride a scooter in such a busy and flooded city like Ubud 😄 seems like you can get used to almost everything 😅

      The first day we went out of the city to visit a coffee farm (free coffee, cacao and tea tasting of self-made products!😍) which was very interesting and nice. They showed us how they grow and produce their coffee and we could try coffee types like avocado and coconut coffee.
      Afterwards we drove to the Tegenungan Waterfall, which was actually very impressing but unfortunately looked very brown (due to the rain) and was also very touristy. A big Resort was built right next to the waterfall and played club music all the time 😃 even if we discovered another hidden (and very beautiful) waterfall right next to the Tegenungan we weren’t completely happy with our first waterfall experience on Bali and so we went to see the Uma Anyar waterfall afterwards. This one was located in a small village nearby and wasn‘t touristy at all - so beautiful 😊
      Before we headed back to the city center Mo tried his first Nasi Goreng.
      Even if I found Ubud still quite touristy I liked it so much more than Canggu because for me the vibe felt so much more relaxing. In the evening we went out to have pizza (because the Italian restaurant was highly recommended) and called with Fynn, Mo‘s best friend who would join us in a few days, to make some plans for our travels together. 🍕      Læs mere

      Balinese traditions in Demulih II 🕉

      13. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

      During the workaway the other two volunteers and me could participate in a purification ceremony, which was an impressing experience.
      In the morning we went to the market to buy offerings for the ceremony. Kadek organized traditional Balinese clothing for us, because otherwise you can’t enter the purification temple. The whole ceremony took quite a long time because a Hindu monk was guiding us through Bangli’s holy river where we put the offerings on different mini altars which stood for different gods. He showed us how to pray for each of the gods the way that the Balinese people are doing it. We passed 5 mini temples in the river, climed through a small cave and ended at a waterfall. In the end we were completely wet😅

      Also we went again to Kadek’s father in law, who gave us a Balinese astrology reading. He told us not only about our personalities but also about the specific Hindu god that takes care about each of us.

      Next to the traditions that we got to know during the the time at Kadek’s place, it was also very exciting for me to teach my first yoga classes. Kadek told his students (people from the village) that I would teach two of his classes and I was happy to see that many of them showed up. With Kadek and his translations it worked out that we had a good time doing yoga together.

      Very Special memories for me that I will keep in mind and heart for sure for a long time😊      Læs mere

      Balinese traditions in Demulih I 🕉

      12. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

      Kadek taught the other volunteers and me so much about the traditions, food, culture and Hinduism on Bali.
      We made mushroom sate 🍢, the traditional Balinese medicine drink „Jamu“ (made from fresh ginger, turmeric, palm sugar and coconut milk - sooo delicious and healthy!) and had a lot of fresh Indonesian food.

      We hiked on the highest hill of the village (which was not very high 😅) and had a nice view on Demulih, where we also saw glowworms 😍 But we stopped halfway and Kadek explained to us, that we can’t go to the top of the hill because the people of the village of Demulih are still mourning. When somebody of the village dies, all the other people of the village are at least for the next 12 days not allowed to go up the hill, where the highest temple of the village is located.

      We also went to Kadek’s father in law, who is a spiritual master and already 91 years old. He explained a little bit about the beliefs of the Balinese Hinduism to us. Unfortunately I can’t remember most of it, but it was so interesting! I remember that he told us all of the nine main gods that Balinese people believe in - but I can only remember Brahma (creates everything), Vishnu (takes care of everything) and Shiva (destroys everything)… what a great experience 😊✨      Læs mere

      Workaway in Demulih 🪷

      11. november 2022, Indonesien ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

      When I began my journey on Java I did some research about workaway opportunities in Indonesia. A girl recommend workaways to me because often you stay at a family and get the chance to experience the culture and traditions of the locals in another way. I contacted Kadek, who offered volunteers to stay at his home or in his guest house in exchange for some work in his yoga Shala and guest house in his village in Demulih on Bali. We planned my stay for 5 days, and Kadek asked whether I could help him with gardening and also with his yoga classes that he offers for the people in his village.

      His yoga shala and guest house is in the same village where his family lives and because he already had two volunteers who stayed at this familiy house, he asked me whether I could stay in his guest house. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden divided in four levels. On the highest level the beautiful yoga shala is located with a wonderful view on the garden. After touristy Canggu I immediately loved the place which is in the middle of nature. In the village life seemed to be still very traditional, almost every family has their own family temple. The other volunteers and me were probably the only tourists in the village.

      Luckily I could switch the room because at first Kadek offered me a room with a lot of hornet nests and hornets flying around. After that (the memory of Denise being stung by a hornet on Java was still very lively😅) I happily welcomed the two frogs and geckos in my new room as my new room mates 😅 Even if the accommodation was very very simple (the mattress was so hard! 😃 and the bathroom was on the other side of the garden - without sink and couldn’t be closed 😃) it was magical to sleep in the guest house surrounded by the sounds of the nature. 😍      Læs mere
