Accidentally running into a closed but impressive Hindu temple on my way to Canggu

Way less mosques here in Bali, as the majority here are Hindu.

I never have enough fresh mango juice at the beach.😎

Again some artwork at a wall close to a sunset viewpoint

...so I really enjoy some ocean feelings, again. 😎

The Yamaha flagship store with a garage in Denpasar gave my scooter a proper service and a cleaning!

Decent but still cheap hostels to find, here. Seems to be a lot of competition for guests, here.

As usual, rural areas are packed with rice fields 🙂

Goodbye Java, hello Bali!

Nov 21–23, 2023 in Indonesia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

While spending around 7 weeks on Java, I met some great people, saw some awesome places, celebrated my birthday, got my scooter, made >3.000km on it, climbed mountains, improved my surfing, visited 5 volcanoes, had amazing snorkeling experiences and even made some friends.
Java was so different from Sumatra, but still Indonesia, now I'm curious, what I'll experience in the most touristy areas of this country.
Went directly from the ferry to Canggu, in Bali's south, probably the most touristy area here. Very busy, very crowded, lots of tourists and travellers, a lot of partying, I fully understand, why it's called "Bali's Ballermann" 🤷
Exploring some beaches and the shoreline was nice, there are several beautiful beaches and cliffs, beautiful landscapes and Balinese food is great, too!
Skipped my plans to practice some surfing, here, as all the beach breaks were crowded as hell. Lombok should offer some nice surfspots, too.
South Balinese landscapes and big city Denpasar were interesting to see, I took the opportunity to bring my scooter to the official Yamaha garage for a service, oil change and checkup (and a working rear light 😅). Everything was done quickly and cheap (€10 in total 😬) and riding feels bit better and more safe, now.
After getting that done, I decided to leave this busy, touristy area quickly and head on to the north of Bali! 😅😎Read more
