Maybe you have guessed it already because of our previous post but we have officially left Indonesia. After almost 6,5 weeks we felt it was time to move on. We had to travel quite a bit from Bandung to Malaysia. Firts we took a taxi from our hotel to a shuttle bus which would take […]
At our last day in Indonesia we wanted to go to China town in Bandung. The day before we went, we saw that we had to pay an entrance fee because it was a tourist thing. Luckily we found this out in time and we went to the floating market instead. There we imagined to […]
First stop we made was around the corner of our hotel. We went to the old house of Tim’s great grandmother. The pictures will speak for themselves. While taking those pictures, the neighbor came outside and looked a little strange in our direction. So we decided to walk away. The museum was our next target. […]
Something we should’ve done right after we got here. That’s what we said to each other when we returned to our hotel. At our last day we had seen and eaten so many great things in different places. We wished we had some more time left to re-visit some of them. Sadly, by the time […]
We’ve been enjoying the sights of Yogyakarta the last two days. This city is bustling with people, food stalls, warungs, markets and traffic. In the city itself there is so much to see we feel like we only just scratched the surface. So far we have been walking and driving around the city just to […]
After recovering from the trip to Mount Ijen, the next day we took the train from Banyuwangi to Surabaya. Train travel is actually pretty well organized here. You can book a seat online, once you are at the departure station you can scan a QR code at a check-in machine and print your boarding pass. […]
We took the ferry from Gilimanuk to Banyuwangi. Which was our first destination on Java. Here we booked a home stay for 2 nights to climb an active volcano called Mount Ijen. The ferry ride and the (very crappy) taxi were pretty easy going so our arrival on a new island went pretty smooth. One […]
Lovina is well known for it’s dolphins which can be found not too far from the coast. We also heard it would be possible to swim with them. Sounds too good to be true? It was. We left in a small fisherman’s boat which was driven by two lawnmower type engines. After 20 minutes or […]
After 4 weeks of mostly relaxing in Amed we finally moved on. We plan to increase our pace a bit as we head towards Java. Today we drove for about 3 hours north to the beach town of Lovina. Here we intend to stay 4 nights and plan our trip to Java after we’ve checked […]
Oh my, how good is this food?! We’ve been saying that quite a lot. Some scorching hot, some fragrant, some incredibly sweet. It’s been a treat for sure. Especially the food our hotel host has been cooking for us. She was on a mission to use us as test subjects to find out if her […]
Today we felt like sharing a complete random day of uneventful stuff. Just because we can! We went out with the lovely owner of our bungalow. She wanted to show us a piece of land she owns near one of the bigger cities in east Bali and afterwards take us to the market. Since we […]
We had one more trip in mind during our stay here in Amed. After our arrival on Bali Airport, almost a month ago (!), we saw an enormous statue in the distance. We really wanted to visit that thing and see it from up close. This would be our final sightseeing trip in Bali. We […]
You wanted Ellen VS Chilli’s right? Well, as you noticed we were slacking a bit with blog updates. The reason was that the chillies won.. That’s right, Ellen lost. Well, both of us to be fair.. We both suffered from severe Bali Belly this week, meaning we were on the toilet mostly. And yes we […]
First there was nothing… Then we had an egg in the morning at the peak of a volcano. We found it so hard to leave him there, so Tim took a bite. At night, 1:00 PM, we got picked up by our driver to bring us to the foot of Bali’s volcano, the Gunung Batur. […]
Time to visit one of the most well-known (and touristy) area in Bali, Ubud. The region is known for its arts and temples, our trip was mostly focused on that. We started in the early morning to visit a Barong dance. Although this is mostly a very tourist oriented affair, we did enjoy the theater, […]
