      Tete Batu Day 2

      January 15, 2020 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Banana pancakes for breakfast and spent the morning chilling in the camp. At about 12.30 Anah came back from school and she had been home and cooked us lunch first (just to remind you, she’s 11) so we ate that and then she said she would take us to see the rice fields. It was me, the Dutch girl Charlotte and two Danish guys, Marcus and Simon.

      We left the camp about 2 and walked for about 30 minutes and it started raining so Anah said she would take us to her house so we headed there. Her mother and her got us all a tea or coffee and some red bananas which were delicious and we watched her fish for a while and she played a game of chess with Marcus.

      It stopped raining so we carried on to the rice fields and the clouds cleared so we could see Mt Rinjani properly for the first time which was pretty epic. It’s the second highest volcano in Indonesia (I think) and you can climb it- though not to the top since the earthquake in 2018.

      We walked for quite a while and eventually ended up back by the waterfall we went to yesterday so headed home. Anah was an amazing guide (we would have got so lost without her) and showed us all the fruits on the trees (bananas, jackfruit, avocado etc).

      We got back to camp and showered, watched a beautiful sunset- I watched it with the puppies that have just been born on the land next door- SO cute. We had dinner and then Sam decided we needed to get some rice wine (alcohol is illegal in this part of Lombok as it’s Muslim) so we went off on scooters (I went on the back of his) to his ‘grandmothers’ (not really his grandmother but just a local older lady who homebrews!) and got some! Was really interesting to see her home and the ones nearby, they are very basic but everyone is super nice and smiles and says hello.

      Got the wine and came back to camp to have some music and drinks and went to bed a little later than usual! Really great day, really felt like we got to see some of the local side of Lombok.      Read more

      Day 24

      Tete Batu -> Kuta

      January 16, 2020 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      Left the camp about 10.30 today - another girl Charlotte was also going to Kuta so we split the cost which was good!

      Arrived in Kuta about 12.30, it’s worth saying that Kuta Lombok is a very different place to Kuta Bali- which is the party place for Aussies! Kuta Lombok is a very chill surfer town; probably will become more like Bali in the next few years but for now it is not too developed. Logged back onto WiFi as I hadn’t had any for 3 days so needed to do some admin- especially booking some Thailand stuff with Fran, Holly and George for March! And hopefully sorting out a girl for my room with Laura. 🤞🏻

      Went for some lunch (avo on toast) and was walking around town when I bumped into Vitoria who was in the hostel at Gili Air. A few of the people from there are now here so I went over to their hostel me Vitoria and Hilde decided to go to the beach. Now to get to the beaches here you really need a moped so I decided to be brave and rent one! The roads here are really well paved and super quiet so it’s a much better place to do it than Bali. It went ok! Took me a little bit to get used to but it was all good!

      We drove to a beach called Selong Belanak which was about 30mins away but the scenery on the drive was unreal- and the beach was amazing. White sand, some surf and just a few shacks and sunbeds. The girls were debating getting surfboards but decided against it so we just chilled and swam. Headed back to Kuta about 5 and then went to a pizza place for dinner 🍕      Read more

      Day 85–86

      Tag 85,86 | Tete Batu

      November 24, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

      Von Gili Air aus ging es für uns weiter auf die große Nachbarinsel Lombok.

      Genauer gesagt in das kleine Dörfchen "Tete Batu". Dieser Ort ist ein Geheimtipp, denn hier gibt es Reis-Terrassen wie in Bali, nur das es hier nicht von Touristen überlaufen ist und es keinen Eintritt kostet, wenn man die Terrassen besichtigen will.

      Zudem gibt es wunderschöne Wasserfälle in dieser Gegend.

      Mit Hilfe eines Guide's machten wir uns auf den Weg, die Landschaft zu erkunden. Auf der vierstündigen Wanderung sahen wir so viele unterschiedliche Früchte, Nüsse und Gewürze... und wissen jetzt, dass diese nicht im Supermarkt wachsen.

      Wir sahen:
      Vanille, Avocado, Grapefruit, Jackfruit, Durien, Mangosteen, Mango, Erdnuss, Macadamia, (natürlich) Reis, Nelke, Muskatnuss, Dragonfruit, Chili, Kakao, Kaffeebohnen, Papaya, Ananas, Limetten, Zitrone, Bananen, Kürbis, "Wolle", Zwiebeln, Tabak....

      Es war wirklich interessant, denn von vielem wussten wir zuvor nicht, wie/wo es wächst. 👍🏻

      Anschließend kamen wir noch an einem Wasserfall vorbei und besuchten den riesigen Samstags-Markt. Dort wird die Ernte von den "Großhändlern" abgeholt und in umliegende Städte und sogar Inseln verteilt.

      Abschließend zeigte uns der Guide noch verschiedenste HandwerksKUNST, welche im Dorf noch voll praktiziert werden.... Jetzt wissen wir auch, warum "Backsteine" BACKsteine heißen.🫠👍🏻

      Der Tag war wirklich wunderschön... Nur endete er etwas "tragisch".
      Erst hatten wir einen Roller-Unfall und später kam noch eine Lebensmittelvergiftung dazu...🥴🙉🤢

      Aber mittlerweile geht es uns wieder gut😊👍🏻 Nur ein paar Schürfwunden sind noch vorhanden 👍🏻

      ...und die Spinne hat uns auch nichts getan.... 🙏🏼😄 (s.Bilder)      Read more

      Day 21

      Gili Air -> Tete Batu

      January 13, 2020 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

      Time to leave Gili Air- but one last yoga class before we leave! Carolynne (the yoga teacher) asked if we wanted a class at 10.30 and as one of the girls and I had decided we would leave at 1 we said yes! She’s only just started teaching so hasn’t charged us for any of the classes but I asked if i could give her 150,000 for the 3 classes as she was so good and should definitely charge! (Basically £8.50 for 3 classes)

      Lotte (the girl also leaving) went to get the public boat back to Lombok- so cheap as it costs 12,000 but meant we had to walk the 20 minutes to the harbour in the heat 🥵

      Arrived in Bangsal about 2.30 and I had arranged a transfer at 3 with a driver from the hostel so I met him and he drove the 2 hours to Tete Batu.

      The hostel/camp is called Dreamcatcher camp and it’s a very basic, very hippy place! Cold shower, hole in the ground toilet and mattress on the floor in the hut - though it only costs £7 a night for my own hut so can’t complain too much. There was only 4 of us staying so we watched the sunset and then had dinner which a local man brings around 8 and it costs 30,000 (£1.60!).

      Stayed up chatting and went to bed about 11      Read more

      Tete Batu Day 1

      January 14, 2020 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Woke up at 4.30 this morning to the sound of the call to prayer...! The sound carries down the valley very strongly- luckily I managed to go back to sleep! Had breakfast about 9 and sat about chatting for a while, a couple of people who were staying were supposed to leave today but the driver was busy so they had to stay another night!

      A girl called Charlotte turned up about 11 and then the 4 of us decided to walk into the town a bit- Mario the black dog decided to come with us which was interesting as all the other dogs barked a lot at him, and the locals were pretty scared..! Most of the dogs are mongrel types but Mario is a big black dog kind of like a Labrador. We stopped at a little Warung for lunch and played with the girl there for a bit- very cute. It’s not very touristy here so everyone is just friendly and not trying to sell you stuff.

      After lunch we got back and Anah (Sam who runs the camps little sister) was there. She’s 11 and comes to the camp every day after school- she finishes school at 12 and acts as a guide for the camp! She likes to practice her English and she’s a smart girl!

      She took us to the waterfall nearby, we had to walk through the rice terraces and it starting pouring with rain on the way. But was really nice and we had a swim when we got there. There were some local boys there climbing and jumping off the top which was pretty cute.

      We walked back and showered (cold shower sadly!) and then saw a bit of a sunset. We had dinner all together and went to bed quite early. 😴      Read more

      Day 299

      Authenticité à Tetebatu

      September 29, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 24 °C

      J299 (29 septembre) : Nous continuons notre immersion dans les traditions sasak au village de Tetebatu avec un programme bien rempli en compagnie de Jucy, notre guide du jour. Tout au long de la journée, il prendra son rôle à cœur et nous fera découvrir le mode de vie des habitants en commençant par une longue balade dans les rizières et différents jardins 👨‍🌾.

      Chacun cultive un légume avant tout pour sa propre consommation : courgettes 🥒, haricots verts, pois gourmands, piments 🌶️, choux mais aussi d'autres variétés aux formes excentriques dont les noms indonésiens nous échappent aujourd'hui.

      Nous observons aussi d'un œil discret les locaux affairés à leurs travaux agricoles. Certains battent le riz, d'autres le repiquent, certains encore désherbent méticuleusement à l'aide de leur faucille typique 👩‍🌾. Tout semble se faire dans la bonne humeur malgré la rudesse des tâches et l'âge parfois avancé de ceux qui les exécutent 🧓.

      La matinée se termine par la découverte d'une jolie cascade nichée au fond des rizières puis la randonnée au cœur d'une vraie Monkey forest, une forêt où les singes ne sont pas nourris de la main de l'homme et où ces derniers évoluent d'arbres en arbres sans se soucier de notre présence. Nous croiserons deux types d'espèces : les macaques 🐒 que l'on commence à connaître ainsi que les black monkeys (singes noirs) 🦍, une première pour nous !

      Enchantés par ce début de journée, nous poursuivons avec une après-midi consacrée à l'art du tressage de bambou. De ses doigts habiles et à une vitesse prodigieuse, une magicienne du bambou confectionnera à notre intention 2 bagues et un petit pannier 🧺. Manon s'initiera à la pratique mais avec un rendement moindre force est de l'admettre. Joli souvenir !

      Enfin, nous participerons à l'élaboration de notre repas du soir en compagnie de la souriante Wina, la fille de notre hôte. Au menu : authentique curry et brochettes saté. 🤤
