31/07/16 It was about time I did something about my hair considering I was going to be spending some time on the beach in Kuta Lombok soon. So after a bit of research I found a spa call Skin Spa, who do a brazilian wax for 140,000rp. They have decent reviews although they are based … Continue reading Indonesia – Bali Ubud, wax and a walk

Indonesia – Ubud Bali, rice fields, Gunung Kawi Sebatu temple, coffee plantation,Goa Gajah & Tegunungan waterfall
30/07/16 Wow today was busy. I found some fellow travellers to go visit some key spots in Ubud by taxi. Yep I chickened out on a scooter... I managed to bargain a days taxi ride for 400,000rp in total, the driver wasn't the nicest but he did his job. The first stop was the rice … Continue reading Indonesia – Ubud Bali, rice fields, Gunung Kawi Sebatu temple, coffee plantation,Goa Gajah & Tegunungan waterfall
Indonesia – Ubud Bali, market, Monkey Forest, cooking class & Gianyar night market
29/07/16 To kick things off tourist style, I decided to make my first stop the market which is not far from my hostel, Jukung. Here they sell pretty much every tourist souvenir you can think of, and you really have to bargain with them. I got myself a new sarong as I'd left my other … Continue reading Indonesia – Ubud Bali, market, Monkey Forest, cooking class & Gianyar night market
Indonesia – Kawah Ijen to Bali
28/07/16 After my hike to Kawah Ijen, my hostel Kampung Osing drove me to the bus station where I could havegot a straight bus to Denpasar in Bali for 80,000rpi. However, I ended up on a mini bus to the ferry port for 15,000rpi. The mini bus took around 30mins to get to the ferry, … Continue reading Indonesia – Kawah Ijen to Bali
Indonesia – Kawah Ijen
28/07/16 My truck to Kawah Ijen left around 12.30am, it was an hour journey to the base. The driver was absolutely mental and sped the entire way, I was thrown around a lot so no rest for me! At the base it was cold, like UK winter cold, luckily I had a jumper and jacket. … Continue reading Indonesia – Kawah Ijen
Indonesia – Yogyakarta to Ijen
27/07/16 Today was the day where I'd be sitting on a train for 14 hours. Not even overnight. Oskar drove us to the station, seriously, I'll say again 'Ostic is the best hostel ever'. He had booked the train ticket for me, so all I had to do was scan my paper confirmation and retrieve … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta to Ijen
Indonesia – Yogyakarta relax day
26/07/16 Ah I had so many plans for today, I was going to go see the bird market and take a walk down Malioboro st... Never made either. I ended up going food shopping for my train tomorrow, posting my postcard, and then ended up getting in Oskars car as he was going to take … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta relax day
Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Borobudur
25/07/16 Well what a big bag of disappointment! I woke up at 3am to get to the hill near Borobudur to see the sunrise over the temple, only to be greeted with a mass of fog. I was lucky though, because it only cost me 30,000rp to see the sunrise from the hill, and eventually … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Borobudur
Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Dancing and Prambanan
24/07/16 I tried my luck second time around to see the dancing show at the palace in the morning, I rushed out to make sure I was there by 10am only to be greeted by an empty stage. The show apparently starts at 11am, not 10am. So I took my seat at the front, because … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Dancing and Prambanan
Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Sultan’s palace, water castle & underground mosque
23/07/16 Getting my cultural hat back on, I proceeded to go to the palace first thing in the morning. I was told there was a special show on at Kraton which only happens at the weekend, and it starts at 10am. I thought it would be dancing but turns out it is shadow puppets, they … Continue reading Indonesia – Yogyakarta, Sultan’s palace, water castle & underground mosque
