    • Day 13

      Nord West Route

      October 3, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C

      Nach einem Tag 'day off' ist es wieder allerhöchste Zeit für Day on 😁. German like buchen wir bei dem vertrauenserweckensten Scooter-Rental Böcke mit Insurance. Man weiß ja nie, ob und wie die Balinesen von einem Hinterhof-Minirent einen über den Tisch ziehen wollen. Sicher ist sicher😉.
      Mit den neuen Untersätzen geht es dann die Küste hinauf in Richtung Westen. Unser erstes Ziel ist Canggu. Früher galt dieser Küstenabschnitt als verschlafen, nur Surfer schätzen ihn wegen der hohen Wellen. Mit der internationalen Canggu Community School, die sich hier 2006 ansiedelte, zogen auch viele Familien und Expats hierher, Immobilienentwickler konkurrierten um die schönsten Landflächen.
      Heute gehört Canggu zu den hippsten Küstenab- schnitten Balis, bekannt für seine Saftbars, Coffee Shops, vielen Restaurants und veganen Cafés, die sich eine gesunde Küche auf die Fahnen geschrieben haben. Gerne hätte ich hier eine gesunde Hefe-Kaltschale 🍺 probiert, aber leider muss ich ihm Vollbesitz meiner geistigen Kräfte bleiben, damit ich unser Gefährt auch wieder sicher gen Abend in den Heimathafen lenken kann🤭.
      Von hier aus führt uns der Weg zu einem Tempel, den ich aber noch gesondert footprinten werde.

      Hier auf Bali ist der Weg das Ziel. Es macht wahnsinnig viel Spaß, einfach nur durch die Gegend zu fahren, und die Eindrücke auf sich einwirken zu lassen. Bei mehr als 20.000 Tempeln, die es wohl auf der Insel geben soll, kommt man aus dem Staunen nicht mehr raus! Einfach Wahnsinn! Leider lässt sich das alles nicht in Bilder fassen!

    • Day 4

      Yoga, surf and sunset

      December 2, 2019 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

      Mal a luz do dia aparece, a claridade entra no quarto e já não dá para dormir. Vejo as horas a passar à espera das 7h para ir ao yoga.
      O espaço de yoga ao ar livre no meio da vegetação, com o som dos pássaros e do rio que passa ao lado, inspira.
      Durante o pequeno almoço, os indonésios que nos vão acompanhar durante o dia, vão tocando guitarra enquanto outros preparam as pranchas.

      Apesar de Canggu, estar a abarrotar de gente que quer surfar e muitos picos estarem completamente sobrelutado, levaram nos para um sitio em berawa com muito pouco gente, onde deu para curtir uma boa sessão de surf.
      Sempre com a guitarra atrás, está sempre alguém pronto para tocar e cantar.
      Passámos o resto da tarde na praia, antes de ir ver o pôr do sol, acompanhadas de Bintang, a ver um milhão de surfistas a lutar para conseguir uma onda em Batu Bolong.
      Antes de jantar ainda fomos fazer uma massagem aos pés, 3 euros meia hora. Antes de começar a massagem elas perguntam sempre:"strong or medium". Claro que quero "strong" mas ela aplicou tanta força que vou ficar com umas negras nas pernas o resto da semana.
      Tivemos a falar com as miúdas que nos fizeram a massagem, a minha massagista tinha 19 anos, trabalhava 14h por dia 6 dias por semana, na realidade depois dessa conversa quase que fiquei a sentir - me mal por contribuir para este tipo de escravidão. Será que mais vale ajudar a contribuir para o sustento dessas família mesmo que seja através de algum tipo de escravidão?
      Jantámos por 5 euros num buteco qualquer.

    • Day 5

      Small waves

      December 3, 2019 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

      Não estamos assim com tanta sorte com as ondas. Estão pequenas, mal a maré sobe deixa de haver, por isso temos que chegar mais cedo. Logo a seguir ao yoga temos tempo de comer qualquer coisa e seguir para Berawa.
      Apesar de tudo deu para curtir, a Filipa hoje esteve muito bem, para o ano já podemos ir para as Mentawai :-p
      As poucas horas de sono já andam a pesar, por isso soube bem seguir para o surf camp logo a seguir ao surf e descansar a beira da piscina.
      À tarde mostraram nos os vídeos da nossa performance, para analisar, corrigir e evoluir, infelizmente como não usámos a t-shirt vermelha do surf camp, o câmara quase não nos apanhou.

      Ao final do dia, aceitamos jantar com o resto dos hóspedes do surf camp, com quem já começamos a ganhar alguma confiança. Não sei de quem foi a ideia mas decidiram pedir recomendações de restaurantes à professora yoga, uma alemã, com uma boa vibe, umas rastas gigantes, que recomendou um restaurante de comida local, Varuna. Possivelmente o pior restaurante desde que estamos cá, deixei metade da comida no prato.

      Com alguns resistentes ainda fomos para o Pretty Poison, ouvir uma rockalhada e ver uns skaters a fazerem manobras na piscina.

    • Day 8

      Canggu Day 2 (NYE)

      December 31, 2019 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C

      NYE!

      We had a lazy morning and went for brunch at the Shady Shack, a lovely veggie cafe round the corner. There’s so much lovely veggie and vegan food here, which is great for Fran as she is vegetarian. Had a breakfast wrap and a coconut. On the way there we decided to stop off at a spa to see if they had any appointments for later and so we booked in for 1pm.

      I had a Balinese massage 60 mins for 250k which is about £13 (such a bargain). As we booked together they keep putting us in the same room, so the second couples massage of the trip for me as Fran!

      After that we went back to the hotel, went in the pool for a bit and got ready to go out for an earlyish dinner.

      We went to Penny Lane for dinner which is a super cute restaurant nearby, we got a table quite quick and had a nice meal. We then had decided we wanted to go to the Lawn for the evening, a beach club just down the road. Lots of the beach clubs had massive parties on (Finns apparently was having 12,000 people!) but this one was a little more low key and more importantly free entry! We got there about 8.30 and had a couple of drinks but decided about 10 to have a little walk along the beach. There were already fireworks going off all around us - apparently they couldn’t wait until midnight.

      We sat on the beach at a little beach bar for a bit before heading back to the Lawn for midnight. Watched even more fireworks at midnight and then wandered home about 1. The traffic was mental, complete gridlock as scooters everywhere!

      Tried to get food but everywhere was closed so we went for a quick dip in the pool when we got home and then FaceTimed Sam before passing out!

      All in all, lovely New Year’s Eve!

    • Day 209

      Canggu

      October 18, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ 🌧 28 °C

      Normally I don’t wanted to post more about Bali but the last week was so fun that I go for a post.
      Really much was not going on, just some activities with my roommates.
      I been to many hostels so far and I am a big fan but this room connection was something special.

      After 2 months I leave Indonesia, what a great time!

      Beachday und Finnsclub

      April 25, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

      Heute waren wir mit dem Roller, auf der Suche nach einem tollen Strand. Doch die Hitze und die hohen Wellen machten es schwer 😅 so liessen wir uns, bei einem bekannten Beachclub, the Beach love, nieder der allerdings noch gar nicht offen hatte. 🤪 Danach fuhren wir wieder zurück und gingen in den berühmten Finn's Club. Laute Musik, viele Betrunkene und kein gutes Essen. Aber immerhin hatten wir es nun ein Mal gesehen 🤣🤣🤣Read more

      Wow, was für eine Reise! Wir haben knapp 20 Stunden bis nach Bali gebraucht 😅

      July 12, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

      Nachdem wir am morgen noch sehr erfolgreich auf dem Ubud Market shoppen waren, ging es gegen Mittag nach Canggu.
      Dort sind wir gegen frühen Nachmittag auf einen kleinen Markt und dann in unsere erste Bar, wo wir langsam mit Cocktails gestartet haben. Abends ging es dann in die berühmte Bar namens Old Men's, wo wir zwei Mädels aus Reutlingen getroffen haben und zusammen in meinen Geburtstag reingefeiert haben🥳Read more
