Heavy rain and flooded roads @north Bali

That day Niclas, a German guy I already met at Canggu, and I wanted to visit a village in the mountains, known for burying their dead above the ground inside of bamboo constructions. We didn't make it there 😅🙈.
Due to the rainy season has definitely arrived at Bali, we gave up going there, after getting stuck in the rain three times, while clouds around the mountains were looking dark and endless.
Back down on the coastal road, soaked wet from the rain, we were stopped by a massively flooded part of the road. Traffic quickly piled up and after a while some trucks started to go through it, making it visible how deep the floods are. 😅
Trying to find an alternative route wasn't successful as there had been only two other options (without going back up into the mountains), which were both flooded, too.
When we came back to the main road, just some cars tried to go through and, surprisingly made it 😅. But after a van got stuck in the middle of the floods, the road was blocked, but as already hundreds of scooters had piled up, it was a question of time, till anybody would try it. Finally a guy with a food stall on his scooter started a successful try, which obviously made others try it, too. So soon a lot of scooters piled up for going through, so I decided: If locals can do it, I could at least try it, too, what should go wrong? 😅🙈
As usual, following a local is the way to do it.
What a crazy ride! My whole feet, up to the knees, in the muddy floods, frightening that Cepi's engine could get flooded, trying not to stop or get stuck, we quickly and safely made it! 😎
My dear Cepi was exactly looking like after a mud bath, which he literally had. 😅😂Читать далее
