09/08/16 Finally got to the last day of this hike! I didn't sleep well and my breathing wasn't any better but I was so happy to be finally heading down. Today was just a pure downhill jungle trek, which at first was nice and fun but quickly became tedious. We had 5 hours of it, … Continue reading Indonesia – Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 3

Indonesia – Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 2
08/08/16 So after having breakfast and a quick lie down I had to make the quick decision if I continue or turn back. My chest was still really bad, and I was slightly traumatised from the summit hike. Everyone in my group told me that I should continue but take it slow. So that's what … Continue reading Indonesia – Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 2
Indonesia – Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 2 Summit
08/08/16 Well I'm done for. We were supposed to wake up at 2am to start the hike up the summit, only for me to wake up at 12am without the ability to breathe. Yep. I get altitude sickness. I thought the tent had run out of oxygen and I panicked to open it up and … Continue reading Indonesia – Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 2 Summit
Indonesia, Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 1
07/08/16 It's here, and I don't feel much better. I was woken up by the bloody call to prayer at 5am and couldn't sleep well after that. I knew I had to be up at 6am to be ready and have breakfast by 7am where we'd be picked up. I wish I had woken up … Continue reading Indonesia, Rinjani 3d2n, DAY 1

Indonesia- Kuta Lombok, Mawun, Mawi and Tanjung aan
05/08/16 I had heard from many people and blogs that you must must only rent your scooter from the hostel as the rental companies have this tendancy to steal your bike for more money. I had prebooked my bike the day before, and there waiting for me was a brand spanking new bike and helmet, … Continue reading Indonesia- Kuta Lombok, Mawun, Mawi and Tanjung aan
Indonesia – Kuta Lombok, Surfing
04/08/16 OMG. So maybe allowing the surf instructor take me to the beach was the worst decision of my life. I thought I was going to die on the back of his motorbike, I was given no helmet and he drove so fast in order for me to hold onto him. I did not hold … Continue reading Indonesia – Kuta Lombok, Surfing
