    Awesome countryside ❤️

    August 26, 2022 in Indonesia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    New day new adventure 💪 I woke up early, went out and a cat came along. He's nice. We called him Dudi by a taxi driver we saw in Jakarta (I shit you not). So after breakfast and getting our laundry back (mmmmm) it was time to ride again! Well, almost, because in my helmet I found a huge spider. Pheeww 😅 This would've been fun if I saw it during driving 😂
    It was time for the beach! Yeah! Beach is around 20 km to the south. No one anywhere, looks almost like post-apocalyptic. You can see where all the restaurants are but all closed or empty. Well this tiny grandma waved so we went there for coffee. I had no idea what she and her husband were telling us but Lili, the communication officer, seemed to get into the chat just fine 😂 These old people are beautiful!
    Then we walked to the beach. Sooo awesome, black sand!!! and it was great to hear and see the power of the Indian ocean - roaring. It was quite windy so waves were big! I was being careful about weather so we headed back. Through small roads. We drove through small villages, all kids waving, smiling,.. I always smile when driving here so it's nice seeing some serious mom starting getting smile back 😃 We were trying to find some waterfall, got lost few times in the process haha. Finally we got there but the water level is so low it wasn't much of waterfall 😕
    Lili then rembered there is a chocolate factory nearby. Hell yes! It's a Belgium thing and they also had nice food soooooo... Quiche, pancake cake, some tart with chocolate 😋 Aaaand went through chocolate museum and factory. Sadly - no chocolate to try haha.
    Now we're home, chilling on porch, listening to calls to prayer, watching fireflies. Lovely 😊

    Update: when you hear "Marko?! Marko?!" you know shit hit the fan. 🤣 There was a huge spider in bedroom. I hate them. And it moved. Eek. Somehow we got him out, sprayed all around the door for the beast not to return haha. I might sleep tonight. Maybe. Hmm. Sure. Right. Right?
