    Day 980

    Ende meiner Fahrradreise

    March 12 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Meine Fahrradreise endet auf Bali.
    Morgen werde ich zurück nach Deutschland fliegen um eine Infektionskrankheit behandeln zu lassen, die mir in den letzten Wochen sehr zugesetzt hat. An eine Weiterfahrt ist im Moment nicht zu denken. Ich habe keine Power mehr.
    Die medizinische Versorgung ist auf Bali für indonesische Verhältnisse recht gut. Allerdings nicht mit der in Deutschland vergleichbar. Ich war bei mehreren Ärzten. Die Vorgehensweise erweckt nicht gerade mein Vertrauen.

    Meine Reise ist dann erst einmal beendet. Ob ich noch mal starten werde, oder wieder ins normale Leben zurückkehre, weiß ich im Moment nicht, bzw. denke gerade nicht so weit. Die Motivation sinkt auch mit der fehlenden Fitness.

    Gut jedenfalls, dass ich diese Reise gemacht habe.

    Danke an alle, die mich auf diesem Portal hier die letzten 980 Tage begleitet haben.

    Ankunft Bali

    March 4 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    Heute um 0:40 sind wir auf Bali gelandet. Aus dem Flughafen rausgekommen sind wir allerdings erst gegen 2 Uhr, da die Einreise sehr nervtötend lange gedauert hat, weil die Behörden nichts auf die Reihe bekommen haben.
    Als wir rausgekommen sind mussten wir uns noch durch eine Horde von Taxifahrern kämpfen, die zufälligerweise alle sehr große Autos hatten um unser Surfboard zu transportieren *zwinker zwinker* 😉😂. Da unsere Unterkunft aber nur 5 Minuten zu Fuß vom Flughafen entfernt war mussten wir es irgendwie schaffen die Mauer aus Taxifahrern zu durchbrechen.
    Einige wollten uns sogar weiß machen, dass es Nachts wohl sehr gefährlich sei auf den Straßen und wir deswegen unbedingt sofort in ihr Taxi einsteigen müssten. Wenn die wüssten wo wir herkommen - Berlin ist 10× gefährlicher. Da hat man wirklich Angst wenn man nachts unterwegs ist.    Read more

    Dag 20

    February 17 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

    De laatste dag…
    Vanochtend lekker rustig aan gedaan bij het hotel. Begonnen met een fijn ontbijtje en daarna nog een kopje koffie op ons balkonnetje.

    Onderweg naar het strand een kleine pitstop voor wat te drinken, waar Suus de boel van de bar liet vallen…😂
    En wat was het fijn om nog eventjes op het strand te kunnen liggen.

    Als klein afscheid nog een laatste keer nasi goreng gegeten voor de lunch.🤗
    De koffers stonden al helemaal ingepakt klaar op onze kamer, maar we wouden nog wel even lekker douchen voordat we weer naar het vliegveld zouden vertrekken.
    We werden gebracht door Tapa, een van onze vaste drivers, naar het vliegveld. Hij plaatste deze schattige foto op z’n whatsapp story. Zo grappig om te zien hoe actief iedereen hier is op whatsapp. Bijna alles wordt hier geregeld via het platform. Je wilt een ticket halen voor de fastboat? Whatsapp. Je hotel melden hoelaat je aankomt? Whatsapp. Ga zo maar door.

    Op het moment staan we te wachten bij onze gate, want we mogen zo boarden voor onze vlucht. Op naar ons koude kikkerlandje.🤗    Read more

    Singapore, non è un drago ma è un leone

    March 11 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C

    Tornati a Singapore, il fascino della città è intatto grazie al suo mix di culture, i grattacieli, la pulizia e l'assenza di caos.
    In serata tappa per una merenda-cena-apero dove Mei mangia dei noodle al salmone e noi stuzzichiamo qualcosa bevendo una birretta. Poi finalmente riusciamo a mangiare il famigerato "tian tian chicken rice", piatto tipico e a basso costo. Dopo il gelato alla vaniglia nr. 51 setacciamo china town alla ricerca di un peluche-drago (che loro chiamano leone) ma è introvabile. La giornata si conclude con la visita al Merlion, statua con testa di leone e corpo di pesce che è il simbolo di Singapore.Read more

    Sanur (Bali), surf&rain

    March 9 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Ci avventuriamo a Kuta, la prima località turistica di Bali, oggi sovraccarica di traffico, ma con un mare da surfare adatto a tutti. Andre cavalca qualche onda, Eli prende la tavola in testa con un'onda gigante e rinuncia. Mentre Eli e Mei pranzano in un centro commerciale all'occidentale Andre rimane bloccato sotto l'ombrellone in spiaggia da una pioggia tropicale. La sera ceniamo al ristorante di un torinese approdato a Bali nell'87 per aprire una filiale di Franco Rosso.. ha una storia interessante ed è molto simpatico. La Mei è in formissima e ci fa ridere (oltre a far gli occhi dolci al vicino).Read more

    Uluwatu

    March 4 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Jen & I hired a driver for the day (8hrs) and took a day trip from Sanur to Uluwatu. We visited the historic Hindu Uluwatu Temple, one of Bali’s most important spiritual landmarks and then had a meet up dinner with a number of our retreat friends. It was a long hot & humid day but glad to see a bit more of the island.Read more

    Bali, Indonesia (Day 2)

    February 22 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 86 °F

    It's day 2 in Bali, and as our bus takes us into the city, we take special notice of some of the street decorations celebrating the Balinese respect for their Hindu religion. You'll see that in the first few pictures.

    Everywhere we go, we see statues with an umbrella or wrapped in black and white cloth. The umbrellas symbolize protection. The cloth is a symbol of balance in nature. In some of the doorways and thresholds, we see carved swastikas, which was a bit troubling until we learned the original swastika is one of the oldest religious symbols in many cultures and religions. In Balinese Hinduism, it represents good fortune and a symbol to ward off negative forces.

    Our first visit is to the Pura Agung Jagatnatha which is a sacred temple and pilgrimage destination. The temples in Bali are designed as open-air places of worship within enclosed walls, connected with a series of intricately decorated gates between their compounds. These walled compounds contain several shrines and towers. Before entering a temple, all must where a sarong. If you don't have one, one will be provided.

    Our next visit is to the Uluwatu Temple which is located atop a rocky mass of of land 230 feet above the Indian Ocean. This is Bali's most sacred shrine and built in the 11th century. The temple is inhabited by long-tailed monkeys, who are known for snatching visitors' belongings such as cameras and sunglasses. While we were warned about them, we didn't expect to see them in action! Two women lost their sunglasses. Tour groups like ours will have a temple guide as part of the group who discourage the monkeys with slingshots.

    Our last stop for the day is Garuda Wisnu Kencana Cultural Park which is a huge cultural/tourist park containing large statues important to the Hindu religion, lotus ponds, large open landscaped areas, and arenas. We really liked this place as it also allows for a beautiful view of the city.    Read more

    Bali, take two!

    February 22 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 81 °F

    I don't think that most people realize that only a small portion of Bali is westernized and, for the most part, it is still more of a "third world country " feel. The people are very poor by our standards, and the population is 4.4 million people. A lot of the island is agricultural, growing every type of fruit imaginable, vegetables, rice, coffee and sugarcane. The income for the country is mainly from agricultural export and tourism. It is fascinating and humbling being in the "real urban Bali". The people have so little compared to us, but they are so warm and welcoming.
    After yesterday's adventuring, we were ready for a bit of the Bali that one sees in travel brochures and postcards. We went with our guide, Nyoman, to a local resort. We had a day pass, which gave us access to the resort grounds, beach, beach chairs, pool with swim up bar and lunch. Heaven!
    We had a wonderful swim in the ocean. The water was clear, crisp, and beautiful. Not a crocodile in sight!
    After we were thoroughly salt soaked we switched to the pool bar to sample the local beer. We were sitting next to a mother and daughter (the daughter was around 50) who had been traveling Indonesia for three weeks. They were from England. We chatted for an hour or so, exchanging travel tips. We have more ideas for wonderful adventures now!
    We wandered the grounds taking pictures and spent our remaining time swimming in the ocean. It was bliss.
    Nyomen returned us to the pier, salt soaked and happy. We wandered over to a stall selling clothes and tourist souvenirs, bought a few pair of the loose, breezy pants that are perfect for wearing to temples, and ended our day with a fabulous wine tasting dinner. The menu was "Sweet and Salty," five courses of absolute heaven, each matched with a wine. Luckily, each course is small, and we aren't driving!
    Tomorrow we start our journey to Java.
    We love what we are able to experience each and every day. We are truly grateful.    Read more
