Teluk Gebang

We've now realised that it is less than a month before we head back to London...so we've decided that more relaxation was on the agenda! 😂

We booked a hotel in North West Bali as it has some of the best diving in Bali and it is a lot more quiet. It was a long journey to go from Gili Meno to Manjangan. Because one of the harbour was closed, it took us 3hours of boat and 4h by car to reach our destination! Lucky that we are staying more than a couple of nights to make the journey worth it. We chose a hotel that had a diving centre attached to it and it turned out to be glamping. We had our own 'tent', it still has glass doors so not sure we can properly call it a tent! James did a little video tour to show you! Not for everyone taste but for us it was perfect!

For once we chose a pretty good day to go diving! Sun was shining and the sea was calm. We did two dives on the nearby island Menjangan. The name of this island means deer, they used to migrate from mainland every spring to stay on this island. It looks like now they've settled for good. Very strange to see a deer in the sea. The diving was very nice, we had 20m of visibility. Compared to our last dives where the visibility was never above 8m it seemed that we were in another world! We dove along side a coral wall for the first dive. The colours of the corals and the fishes everywhere was beautiful and we saw coral fans that were so big that we could have curled in them. Second dive and it was also a coral wall but we also so an underwater cave. Pretty cool to chill in the cave and look up to some fishes.

A part from the diving we really enjoyed our time in this hotel that has a very nice swimming pool and a spa where we treated ourselves to a little massage.Read more
