    Certified diver 💪🐟🐠🐬

    5 Eylül 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    This is the day! I'm waking up at 6 here all the time, bed early, wake up early, yay. Also grandpa next door always runs the water pump at 6 for the salt farm next door, so... we just go up on balcony and watch the sunrise 🌞
    After breakfast (Balinese - see picture 😋) while waiting for my ride to the dive center I've just started to do the exam. 50 questions, passed it like boss - 100%! Time to start exploring the other 70% of the planet 🌏
    Then it was dive time, this time we went on a shipwreck, US Liberty that was sunk here during ww2. Whoa! This is big! And all the animals and corals, nice! I also saw a huge turtle feeding herself, this is insanely beautiful! 🐠🐟 So many fish and everything, I love diving! And sorry, no pictures, I don't have any camera yet. Soon!
    Lili in meanwhile went to doctor - ear infection. But she got pills and is getting better and better, yay! ❤️💪
    But this week is a work week for me so after 2 dives and some lunch I started working 💪 It's easy working with the sound of sea behind, taking a pause at the beach,...
    We had a nice dinner in a mediterranean restaurant 😊 Food here is just so good! Overall: Amed is nice! Good vibes, nice people, majestic vulcano, black beaches, fisherman, salt farms and tons of beautiful underwater world. We love it here.
    Tomorrow we go to the Gillis 😃🤘🐬🐠🐟    Okumaya devam et

    Diving day 🐟🐠

    3 Eylül 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    I was up super early super excited about diving! I couldn't wait! So after a quick breakfast they picked me up and drove me to dive center. Lili stayed at home, reading and chilling 😘
    I got a cool lady instructor Adriana from Slovakia, experienced and a really good teacher. Promised to take Lili with me on my last dive, yay! I had lots of learning, explaining the cylinder, equipment,... and then the dive started. Oooooh this was fun! I had few problems with my buoyancy at first and had to get all my pockets filled with stones haha. The world below was beautiful, so many corals, fish, you name it! Sadly no pictures for now 😕 First dive was followed by a second one to practice taking off mask and putting it back on etc. This is so much fun but lots to learn 🤓
    After I was finished Lili found a really good restaurant with goooood food and even better desserts. Yum!
    I wish I could chill but I need to learn to pass the exam. Having a pause between lessons while my Lili is sleeping, she hasn't been feeling well past days. Hope she'll be better tomorrow or I'll go hunt for pharmacies. Sleep well my Lili ❤️    Okumaya devam et

    Amed

    2 Eylül 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C

    Another easy wonderful morning 😊 After the breakfast a lady showed us a local woodshop where her family make temples. Nice yet focused job. Quite impressive!
    After short walk around we had a cooking class, yay! We made curry chicken, fried potatoes with sweet chilly and a vegetable soup. This was so much fun! Also talking to ladies to find out more about this nice place 😊 we cooked good 😋
    It was time to go. Next stop - Amed. Two hours away behind a volcano, there is this nice village. It's all about diving! It's really chilled here, black beach, you swim while watching a huge volcano above 😃
    Day ended up with informations about tomorrow dives and then a nice mexican dinner. Mmmmm.
    It was a short and easy day. But tomorrow it's dive time 🤘😃    Okumaya devam et

    Bali chillin'

    1 Eylül 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Finally a day we don't have to get up early, woohoo! We slept long! This place is so peaceful. Soon the ladies called us for breakfast, yum (pancakes!!😋).
    We felt like chilling through the day, so Lili went around, I started reading diving book and booked a open water course. I CAN'T WAIT! 🐟🐠
    Lilian made a plan - we go around village and find a river to swim. Of course we left at 13, when sun is strongest. That's how we roll 🤘 And of course it was too hot so we quickly went through village, got some ice tea and headed straight to river. It's a lovely walk through rice fields 😊
    We came to river, the water was low so we just say there, chilling in nice water. The nature here is beautiful!
    Later we came back to house, more chilling 💪
    The place we're staying is run by two ladies, from one of which is the wife of the local priest. So we booked a mind cleansing/meditation ceremony thing by a nearby labirint. Priest and all. This was beautiful, flowers, scent sticks... Lovely! Priest chanted and performed all rituals as part of the ceremony while the wife kindly guided us through our part of it all 🙏 Grateful to have an experience like this, loving people in a wonderful place. And they dressed us up, we looked super handsome, especially my Lili ❤️
    After dinner we're sitting outside again, listening to frogs and who knows what animals all around. This is true relaxation 😊🦆    Okumaya devam et

    Lovina and dolphins 🐬

    31 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    Dolphins day! We woke up early (Bali is one hour more to the east) to have coffee in our garden. At least this time there were no dead gekko hanging around. It was a dead bat 😶🤣 We fixed that and went to village where we were met with the owner of villa for a dolphine your. We went on a little wooden boat and head out.🚤
    Nice to see Bali from a distance, sea was calm, really lovely. And before you know it - DOLPHINS! We were like little kids, aaaaaall excited and happy! And there were also baby dolphins jumping out, close to our boat, this is so beautiful! 🐬
    Then it was breakfast time, coffee, tea and delicious fried bananas 😋 That was just a pause before putting on masks, hold to rope while boat drives and look under water. At first there was nothing much, then I saw some fish down there, rolling around, and then more... there were like tens of big dolphins swimming, swirling around and dancing around eachother, this is just wooow! So awesome! 🐬🐬 And this went on for like half an hour. Holding on to the ropes at the speed of the boat let us slide along side the dolphins as they went. Beautiful! Hehe there are like 10 tiny boats all moving to where someone spots the dolphins 😃
    After awhile we said goodbye and moved closer to coast (while chilling in hammocks) for some snorkeling. First we put some bread in water, there were soooo many fish of all colors! I hade to go in! Corals all around, fish, sooo many! And they just swim around you, come close to you, crazy nice! 🐠🐟
    It was getting hot and it was sadly time to go back, eat something and then check out. The guy offered a ride (for €€ of course) and we went to check a nice buddhist temple, so quiet and nice! We really enjoyed it 😊
    Finally we went to our next accommodation somewhere inside Bali that Lili found. There are little temples everywhere!
    This has got to be the accommodation with best view I've ever seen - jungle on one side, rice fields on the other, sea in the distance. A house with all doors instead of walls so you can just chill on bed and watch the surroundings, can't wait for the morning view 😊 Lady also made us delicious dinner and we signed up for some cooking class, let's see how it goes 💪
    Bali so far is really beautiful ❤️ saying good night now watching the stars with the ceremonies on the background    Okumaya devam et

    Bali, baby!

    30 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    This morning we talked "what if we just go to Bali?". Sure. We packed, put few millions in our pocket, booked a villa with a pool and left. I know how this sounds but let me enjoy the moment 😂
    A quick ferry takes you to Bali, costs like 15k and takes like 40 minutes. Easy. 💪
    The owner from next place came to pick us up and drove us to Lovina, lovely village up north. It's quite a ride but Bali looks nice, different from Java due to Hindu being main religion here. And then I found out my Lili actually booked a villa 🥰 With a pool! This is cheap, 26€ plus cleaning so 40 for a day. And we had our own pool! And free scooter to use, yay! We chilled, swam, then went to village for dinner. Fish time😋 We had a feast! So good we ordered two meals each haha. And finally nap time because in the morning we go swimming with the dolphins 😃    Okumaya devam et

    Bromo!

    29 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    After 4 hours of sleep (yup) it was midnight. And time to go for the Bromo! We were zombies haha.. A jeep came to pick us up. It was tiny but somehow we squeezed in. After an hour we met with other jeeps and started going up. You can't see much during the night, just lights of jeeps in the distance through the mist, sandy road up 😃 After some driving, waiting we arrived at some viewpoint place at 4, got coffee, fried bananas,... Nice. And sooo many people! We headed to the lookout point but me and Lili proceeded through some bushes (as advised by homestay people) and climbing up to get the better spot. Along we met some funny Italian guy, who also gave us some tips for Flores and some fish markets.
    We were happy we found some secret place to watch the sunrise, but soon found out its no so secret - maaaany people came, along with some loud Italian group yelling all the time omg 😂 but couldn't be bothered, just looked at what was soon to be a (hopefully) stunning view 🤘
    Then it started, the colors, all of them, blue, purple, orange, sky was beeeeeautiful (this is the most common word Lili is using recently ❤️)! Soon after that you can start seeing vulcanoes below. This is all so surreal! Then some volcano in the back decided to burp and show some smoke for good morning 😊 We were all there for like 2 hours, doing woooooow all the time, watching people making weird/funny pictures 😃 Wow!
    After this it was time to go to Bromo volcano. All smells of phosphorus and misty all around, pretty impressive. You have to walk up for around 40 minutes and you get to the edge of it. The sound of the volcano, the roar, is crazy! You can walk around it (not whole part, also smoke is coming out). Nature is just wow! 🤯
    Soon it was time to head back, seeing one more waterfall on our way back and you could now see all the things we couldn't while driving there - lots of jungle, hills, really beautiful!
    We had to chill a bit before catching a 6 hour train to Banyuwangi. This time economy. Whoa these people have tiny seats on trains, haha. And I was sleeeeepy!
    We arrived here at almost midnight and got a,ride to our bamboo place Lili found. It was raining, meh. So it made this place look a bit creepy 😃 Aaaand there was a dead gecko hanging from the ceiling 🤣 Good night!    Okumaya devam et

    Tumpak Sewu waterfall

    28 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    4 hours of sleep and early waking up to see the waterfall! This is the way! So we had quick breakfast and chat with owners (who also hosted my friend and her family few weeks ago!) then we left. This is quite a drive, 2+ hours. It's far!
    We got there, got some quick snack and just seeing the waterfall from viewpoint it was 🤯 But this is where it only begins!
    You walk down to the hole on some really shady stairs, you walk on some tiny waterfalls holding on a rope, my Lili went like a pro 💪Good thing I took her to the Alps few feeks ago 🤣
    And then you get there. This is just beautiful. Wonderful. All the nice things. You stand in a hole and there is waterfall all around you. Crazy! Nature is amazing!
    We took pictures, watches others taking weird shirtless pictures (not judging), people secretly taking picture of us, classic 🤪
    Instead of going back up we went down the canyon. From this point on there was no one around. Beautiful to explore nature like this all by ourselves. So many waterfalls, so many wonderful trees and flowers, then you climb up waterfalls and rocks to see the caves. This is heaven!
    Saldy in the end you have to leave this canyon and climb back up. Lili says this is one of the most beautiful things she has seen. Yeah, it's there in top 10 😊
    After long way home we ordered some dinner and in bed at 20h, we're leaving for Bromo at midnight. This should be fun to wake up 😂    Okumaya devam et

    Wandering around Yogyakarta

    27 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Time to go back to Yogyakarta and evening train to Malang. We took a quick morning walk around rice fields in front of our house, scratch the cats and called taxi. Time to go 😕 Or better yet - continue 💪
    In Yogyakarta it was my lady's day. So first my Lili ❤️ picked some traditional local food made of jackfruit. It's a specialty here and it's pretty good! We sat, ate, watched tiny granmas 😊
    We wanted to go see the palace but of course it was closed today. Meh. So we went to some bath place of the Sultan (yup, they have Sultan in Yogyakarta). While walking there some grandpa joined us and start guiding us. He was funny 😊 And check this - half way there he got us to a place where they produce and sell kopi luwak! And they had an actual luwak there, so cute! Of course we tried the coffee and bought some 😃 Lili was "meh medium" but I like it, it's strong.
    Soon we arrived to bath place. It's pretty awesome, big pool and all, they also have old streets and underground mosque, which, sadly, was closed due to covid. And sooo many birds in cages singing everywhere (also the damn shitting pigeons e-ve-rywhere!).
    It's really nice waking around here, cool art and grafiti all around the city, tiny streets, feels like it's not a 3mio city at all. Lili was guiding us to this art/book store for tea and chill time 😊
    We ended up the day with nice dinner (Bitterballen of course haha) and a proper massage for my lady ❤️ (and note from Lili: Marko took me to a VEGAN! place. Wow people, that's love haha). (Hi, Marko here again. Salad called "burger" was lekker 😋🤣).
    Now we're sitting on the train to Malang, we're arriving there at 3am. Yikes. But we're seeing some really cool waterfall tomorrow! Can't wait! 😃    Okumaya devam et

    Awesome countryside ❤️

    26 Ağustos 2022, Endonezya ⋅ ⛅ 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?    Okumaya devam et
