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

Indonesia -Kuta Lombok, Salong Balanyak
03/08/16 So I wanted to surf here, well, learn to surf. I had mentioned it to the others I had met the other night, and they wanted to join too.

Indonesia -Arriving in Kuta Lombok
02/08/16 Today is the day, I am hoping and wishing that the volcano is not affecting any more flights today. So far on an online flight status, everything looks good. I decided to have a walk to the beach and buy another sarong as I realised I had left a tshirt, bikini and sarong in … Continue reading Indonesia -Arriving in Kuta Lombok
Indonesia – Ubud to Kuta Lombok
01/08/16 Wow can't believe it's August already! I am finally leaving Bali for Lombok, I had booked a bus through Panema tours for 60,000IDR to take me to the airport. Annoyingly my flight leaves at 4pm but the only bus I could take was at 10,30am. So I have around 4 hours to kill at … Continue reading Indonesia – Ubud to Kuta Lombok
Indonesia – Bali Ubud, wax and a walk
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

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

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
