INDONESIA, BALI, LEGIAN - 7 TO 8 SEPTEMBER 2022

Two nights in Legian before returning home to Australia.

We settled into the Ananta Hotel again.

We spent our time doing a bit of shopping, eating at a number of eateries and a few beers on the beach.

A great night at the Kumala Pantai restaurant. A girl got up for a bit of karaoke and did an amazing version of ‘Simply the Best’. She had the whole joint jumping.

Before you could blink, we were on our way to the airport to leave on our jet plane for Australia.

INDONESIA, BALI, LOVINA - 20 TO 24 AUGUST 2022

 

20 AUGUST

BALIAN

A terrible surf – windy and messy.

LOVINA

Time for a change. We organized transport for 550000r and booked the Lovina Beach Hotel and off we went. A nice drive and after two hours we were settled into our hotel.

We walked over to the restaurant area in Kalibukbuk and were bombarded by sellers along most of the way. We had a a nice lunch at the vegan restaurant.

I had a relaxing massage. Later in the afternoon, we sat down near the beach, had a few beers and watched the sun set and the local people doing their afternoon weekend thing.

Dinner was in ‘town’ then back to the hotel for sleep.

21 AUGUST

We started the day with a long walk along the coastal path towards the east. It was quiet and it was interesting viewing the area without the bothering. the local village was friendly.

Later, a swim in the hotel pool (very hot here) , another great lunch at the vegan restaurant and sunset drinks on the beach.

22 AUGUST

I went for a snorkeling trip to Menjangan Island. It took a while to get there by car and boat. The snorkeling was good though you had to dive at least two metres down to get the clearest view of the corals and the fish.

23 AUGUST

We had a morning walk to the west. We passed fishing boats and a muslim village. The village was fun to wander around ... no dogs.

Breakfast and then a massage down the road.

Vegan lunch and a sensational dinner on the main road with a short Balinese dance performance.

24 AUGUST

We had another morning walk to the east but veered up a street towards the main road dotted with accommodation and restaurants.

Back to hotel, breakfast then a drive to Balian.
