Not a good night sleep to be had last night. The bed was good, the place quiet and the linen soft. The stomach on the other hand… Continue reading

10 best experiences in Indonesia
As we’re closing in our departure from Indonesia it may be a right time for wrapping up our “Top 10 Indonesian experiences”. The list is not rated.
Manta rays
One of the last things we did was snorkel and see Manta rays. The experience was amazing, and was spiced up with the fact that we found Lillian from Norway giving lectures about aquatic wildlife and Mantas in particular.
Rinjani
Our climb on Mt. Rinjani was tough, cold, rewarding and straight out awesome. We learned about ourselves and our limits answer enjoyed a sunrise from above 3700 meters.
Rice filed trekking
The color green has been given a new meaning to us after our day in the rice fields. The sunlight through the rice plants were among out absolute favorites here. The fact that we ended up in an empty field by the guidance of an Australian guy, out from the house in “Eat, Pray, Love” made it just a touch more spectacular.
Cooking class
The day we spent cooking and doing it at a farm with handpicked veggies was great. The whole experience was fun and educational. That we spent it with just one other guest also adds to it.
Yoga achievement
We’ve been writing a lot about yoga in our time in Ubud. And our achievements there are highlights. Acro yoga with our new found fun, and the poses we make in the ordinary yoga.
Food
We have been
Into a lot of local warungs and tried their cuisine. This has been a cool your of Indonesia as we have met the locals outside the touristic areas. Some of our best meals have been had here. But it is also worth mentioning La Ramona and our great eating experience there.
Coffee
Four years ago we asked ourselves, in Bali, wether we were addicted to coffee. We did about 4 years on green tea alone until we again met Bali Kopi. The love in the reunite was instant, and we have now run away together, are planning our future and don’t care what anybody say about it.
Driving and surviving
We did it! We conquered the Indonesian traffic and should be awarded medals. But alas, there is no rest for the wicked. I guess we’ll head into the Philippino traffic to prove our worth.
Ganesha
We have come to love Ganesha during these first two months. The fact that we now have one shipped back is just super cool. The way it happened with Karma showing the way ( read the post of you haven’t) just spice up the story.
Water
The beaches and Senggigi and the pool are just two of the places where the water have been a dream. To go into it and sink down into liquid heaven. The feel of coolness and just relaxing.
Sunday morning blues
Up in the morning, eating. Breakfast and the checking out of the Beach box. The slogan around here is “Please, no mutiny when it’s time to leave!”
Signed, sealed, delivered (?)
After a lazy morning (except for Katja waking early and doing an hour of yoga on the beach) we took the bike in to town in search of the post office. Another mission impossible?
Thank god it’s Friday
For our first part of the day’s exploration we went for a jog to the top of the island. It is a bit higher than Lembongan which gives a nice view of the neighboring islands.
It’s a shame about Ray
Snorkeling vs diving. What is best for viewing Manta ray’s?
Islands in the stream
Wednesday morning started with breakfast at Le Pirat. As they serve breakfast from 7:30, and that we needs to be on the road at that time did not stop us.
Ruby Tuesday
New place – new adventures. Today we said goodbye to Bali and Hello to Nusa Lembongan. The alternative to the Gilli islands.
Just another manic Monday
And so it has arrived. Our last day in Ubud, and the start of preparation for our next chapter in the adventure book.
Easy like Sunday morning
We had the Motorbike from the day before and started our Sunday special with breakfast at Paula’s cafe. This is where you’ll get the best bacon in town.
