Nice
Good decision not to spend too much time there during the rainy season but you saw a lot in your short time.

Short time
Yes, this is true. Thanks to the great tour we did with so many spots included, we could make the most of our short stay. Flores has also a lot to offer, a big variety of things to do.

Traditional
You really planned well and have introduced us to some beautiful parts of Bali. I love the lack of commercialism. Proving you can find serenity every where if you make the effort.

good planing
Oh yes, it was a lot of planning and research needed and a bit of good luck also. But when you think out of the box and look where no tourists go in Bali you can find the quiet spots. And these are still wonderful. Anyway, in the meantime I think other regions in Indonesia are more attractive - but, as always, it depends on what you are looking for :-)

Bali
Thank you for the inspiration that there are still some calm and off-the-beaten track places left in Bali. Seraya looks just that, and what a wonderful find of an accommodation, the Frangipani Inn. The owner also sounds delightful. I look forward to finding out where your next destination will be ?

Ujung Waterpalace in Amlapura

I would have liked this place
I would have loved to see the Ujung Waterpalace. A pity I missed it. I guess I have to put it up on my wish-list of places I'd love to visit. One of my favorite places in Java was actually Gunung Batur, the huge volcano. Mostly because of its sheer size. /Ake

us at the Jagir Falls

I know of an unusual site in Java
If I ever manage to visit Java again I am going to visit the Sidarjo Mud Flow. It is the largest mud volcano in the world. When tey bored for gas or possibly oil the struck a gigantic reservoir with mud. When tehy removed the drill rig thousands of cubic meters of mud rushed out of the hole each day. They haven't managed to stop the flow so still today, 14 years later, mud is spewing out of the hole. OK, I am strange to actually enjoy these kind of things. I know that. /Ake

unusual sight
At least it sounds really exciting. Would love to see it one day. Well, Java will hopefully see me again. The vulcanic landscape is simply too fascinating.... :-)

Home and Away

I'm so sorry to hear about the impact that Covid-19 is having on you...
I'm thankful for your health, and hope that you will be able to survive the economic situation. I wish Switzerland could help its citizens just as our government has. I enjoyed your blogs about Bali, and that you were able to find a bit of paradise!

Thank you! Well, there is a certain support from the government. But it will take a long long time till the administrative organisation has worked through all the papers. And till then we can only sit and wait and pray. Maybe we will get something, maybe not. But we are very happy you enjoyec our blogs. Some more are about to come from Indonesia. Stay safe and healthy!

This is just a great photo of a couple that have found paradise!!! I can’t promise I won’t go, it sounds like exactly what I look for, but I won’t tell anyone else.

Pura Lempuyang
Pura Lempuyang wasn’t overrun with tourists when I visited in 2017; I don’t think there were more than twenty when I was there. I think its remote location keeps the crowds away. I lucked out by visiting on a Hindu holy day, and I got to observe the devotees. In any case, Lempuyang is actually a complex of seven temples. By the time I got to Temple #3, I was the only foreigner left; all the others had turned back. Good call on the Ujung Water Palace. Must have been great being away from the hordes.

No crowds
Wow, you lucked out with the Lempuyangan Temple. The time we were in the region we heard stories of people waiting to take THE picture for about 3 hours. That really put us off from visiting. Happy travels, stay safe and healthy!

Bravo for finding a non-touristy location in Bali. The country has certainly changed since the publication of books and movies and not for the good from my perspective. Life is full of surprises and you never know where you will find people you can connect with.

Lost its soul
We enjoyed our time in Bali in 2007. Even though we enjoyed Ubud immensely our favorite was seeing the dolphins in Lovina Beach. We are drawn to water and watching animals in their natural habitat. The tree house sounds lovely. I don't think we will go back to Ubud it might make us too sad.

Hola mundo! - We are Nina and Markus. We are from Lake Thun/Switzerland and we are outdoor junkies. Whenever possible we spend our time travelling, climbing, ice-climbing, trekking or snowboarding/skiing. However, our life has turned completely when we met our spiritual master Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda in the year 2013. In the meantime we try to travel to places where he is (and gives blessings to people) as often as possible. From travelling in the outside because we were searching for something, we are now travelling for meeting him, enjoying his presence and travelling "inside". It ... full info
