Noc bola dost nahovno. Vetrak suchotal, zvonka sa ozyvala hudba. Na ranajky bola na vyber palacinka alebo chleba s omeletu (1vajco) + ovocie. Dnes si davam prvu moznost. Este termoska s cajom bola na stole. V palacinke bol strceny aj kusek bananu (normalne ovocie, nie to co je medzi nohami, neskor zistene, ze banan = penis ) Po jedle presun na plaz. Vonku sa uz rozkladali trhovnici, mototaxi a maserky. Fakt od rana vskuse pokrikovat masaz, moto by ma asi rozlozilo. Vsetko ale vdaka mp3 ignorovane. Ono zas strajkuje, zas to neslo. More riadne vysoko oproti vcerajsku aj o takych 50m blizsie. Vyuzivam tien a zacina relax. Som prekvapeny, ze ziadny otravovaci so surfom, pivom, suvenirmi a masazami. Masaz by som si dal ale radsej od turistiek co tu chodia. Niektore fakt paradne. V mori kopa ... read more

Noc uz bola lepsia, i ked opat som po povale chodit neake zvierata. Pred spankom este nabieha do izby domaca a strieka mi postel a okolie proti hmyzu. Na ubytku vyhadzujem zubnu kefku a minam jedny z poslednych kovovych penez. Pasta za 50centov, to som zvedavy co to bude zac, isto ziadny elmex. Dostavam vizitku nech sem sikujem dalsich ludi. Ono mozem to odporucit ale zas , ze tu clovek stretne cestovatelov je minimalna. Hned po vyjdeny na hlavnu cestu chytam velmi frekventovanu 10ku a smer kruhac pred letiskom. Tu vyskakujem a smer pesibusom letisko. Je to len par stoviek metrov. Co to nevidim, kadernik. Tak reku kolko 3usd, vravim,ze 2usd tak ako v meste. Ok Ono keby nemam kovovych 2usd (resp timor leste, kovove su neni usd len papierove) tak strihanie riesim v indonezii za ... read more

Na ranajkach mini pokec so starsim talianskym parom. Pochadzali od rakuskych hranic tak sa medzi sebou rozpravali nemecky. Aj oni idu na flores ale na motorke. Prakticky idu uz zo sumatri, bez planu, proste idu. Odporucili mi navstivit na sumatre ketambe. Kontrola leteniek z kk na taiwan. Cena aj s poplatok za kartu cca 52€, tak to kupujem na 4.6.18. Dufam, ze nedojde volaky tajfun alebo zemetrasenie. Na taiwane chcem ostat cca mesiac resp podla toho kedy naskoci lacna letenka do sappora. Tym padom mi ale na borneo ostava len neakych 10dni (plus 2 dni brunei) s tym, ze budem spat na letisku v kk. To musim este preverit ako to tam vyzera. Kupa prebehla az na treti pokus. Nakup cez appku, zabudol som povolit net platby Nakup cez appku nepresol Na radu taliana pokus nakupu ... read more

So here we are in Bali. I sensibly went to bed on first night or that may have been the beers so I didn't get to see the Taylor clan arrive, which is a great shame given that Chris fell in the hotels koi fishpond just before greeting Chloe drenched. I take a walk to the vape shop to get supplies and then have the arduous task of crossing the road, something l leant in Vietnam. Just step out and let 6 lanes of traffic go around you. Next it's off to Kuta beach where 4 take up surfing and Josh buys a genuine Rolex. Yeah sure. Not sure what we would think of Bali but so far loving it.... read more

The next morning I ate a bacon and chorizo toast for breakfast ( # NOT LOCAL ) We went to the beach which was excellent for surfing and then went back to the hotel to nap through the afternoon heat. In the evening we went to the beach and some people and kids were flying kites. Then we swam in the sea and ate corn cobs on the street and chicken nuggets. I still thought we were in Europe because they were more tourists than locals and when there is so much tourists it means loads of shops and I hate shopping. At least some people sold NBA shirts and I might buy one. The next morning we took the bus and headed north to Ubud.... read more

The Best Solo Trip Ever ! There is always a first time for something. And this was my first ever solo trip and I am so glad that I chose Bali for that because the moment I touched down in this beautiful island I fell in love with it's beauty, culture, environment and the whole atmosphere. Since this was my first solo trip, I was a little nervous to land in Bali around 11pm because I did not know what to expect in the middle of the night on my way to the hotel. But for all the first time solo travelers who landing in the middle of the night : There is nothing to be scared or worried of because Kuta is just the friendliest island I have ever set my foot in. I promise. ... read more

The new Kuta airport looks amazing: colorful and bright, airy but not huge, stylishly designed with unique Balinese patterns all around, and that exquisite scent of flowers in the air… We had barely landed but, after 3 months in India, Becky & I were already enjoying the Bali vibe! We'd been on the road (either cycling or backpacking) for 11 months. Becky had promised her boss she'd go back to work in April (2017)… 4 weeks left only! Time had come to take it slow & easy around Bali. We’d rent a car and drive around the island, find quiet beaches, climb a volcano, wander the rice terraces, chase dolphins, & indulge in nasi campur, babi guling & mango juices! It sounded too good to be true, so I agreed for her mother to join us!... ... read more

Today we were very happy at our plan to bale out (literally) to Krabi tomorrow. It rained and blew all last night, then stopped and started on and off all morning. We asked in reception about the price of a taxi to the airport. Using a meter it should be about 60,000. We weere spectacularly ripped off when we arrived. I did a spot of googling and found that actually the official bluebird taxis are not allowed to pick up at the airport, only drop off. Therefore the so-called official taxi voucher counter isn't, and thenprices showing on the board aren't always stuck to. We paid 170,000 and would have been better off negotiating with one of the touts who approached us. The hotel offers a transfer for 100,000 but said it can take up to ... read more

Well how to start? We woke up this morning to torrential rain, and the long term, or at least the next week's, forecast is for the same in all the places we planned to go. So outdoor activities we including actually leaving the hotel AT ALL became ridiculous or impossible. Howling winds too, so the speedboat to the Gilis would be very bad for the constitution if it wasn't cancelled. We would both throw up, for sure. So what to do? We have a month and didn't want to get to the end with terrible weather all the time. Need to be back in KL on the 27th for Sam's flight home. Luckily we were in total agreement, cancel flights and change plan for Thailand where the sunshine looks guaranteed. Of course it IS rainy season, ... read more

Rated #1 water park in Asia and #2 in the world, Waterbom Park was today's destination and we were all pretty stoked at the thought of going. Normal breakfast to start with and already the plans were looking shaky. Every time Tom eats he get an upset stomach. We let him rest for a short while and, fortunately, he picked up again quickly. So, a quick trip to reception to book a cab to the park and we were soon on our way. The ride started normally enough (normal for Bali anyway) - crazy driver playing dodge-em with the motorbikes and other road users - until, out of the blue, the driver winds down the window and calls out to someone on the side of the road. No idea what he said but he suddenly pulls ... read more
