Hi everybody, I am here in Indonesia, travelling around Bali, Lombok and Flores
In this video i want to show its wonderful nature
Let's go!
We landed in Bali international airport
Since the first moment you can feel the mystic atmosphere
Bali is an island that still preserves ancient traditions
and the Hindu religion attracts the western tourists
After we changed our money to indonesian rupiah
we took a minivan to go to Ubud
Ubud is definitely the cultural capital of Bali
in the middle of rice terraces and tropical forests
you can discover many impressive Hindu temple
like Tirta Empul where you can experience the purification ritual in the holy waters
I highly recommend renting a scooter to drive around where all you see is entertaining
including the balinese houses that look like temples
In Ubud we didn't miss Tegalalang terraces
where we walked under the burning sun in those breathtaking trails
The street that leads to the terraces is very interesting
because of the plenty handycraftmen creating various pieces of art
like sculptures and interior details
BE CAREFUL! because Ubud is dangerous for its local street gangs..
MONKEYS!
In the middle of Ubud there is a forest with 700 macaques
a cult place for balinese hindu religion
here you can walk and admire the funny daily life of monkeys
watching them having spa days, enjoying time together and fighting until blood
Often tourists feed them bananas to interact with them
even if sometime the situation can get "hot"
The part of the city around the forest is invaded by monkeys
who are having fun disturbing houses and hotels nearby
or even attacking tourists for stealing the food
like this chinese couple that happily walking in the street with a plastic bag full of souvenirs
or at least it was full...
Another amazing experience is doing rafting in a tropical river
an adventure between waterfalls and various reptiles
the surrounding nature is incredible
Bali is also famous for the Luwak coffee
the beans are fine because they are selected, eaten and defecated from this little animal
in Ubud you can make a coffee degustation in one of the plantations
Another thing that i liked a lot in Bali is the food
It's really fun learning balinese recipes attending a cooking class..
in the morning you go to buy the main products in the farmers market
and later on locals teach you how to cook traditional balinese dishes
we also learned the religious meaning of the balinese flowers that are literally everywhere
There are many restaurants with cuisine for everyone's preferences
visiting Ubud market is a must cause they are very specific
After Ubud we headed to Seminyak, a turistic location on the coast
here we fully enjoyed the beach life
the beach is wide, it is perfect for relaxing and doing various activities
it's a windy zone so ideal to avoid the tropical heat
The sea is rough so perfect to learn surfing
Not far from Seminyak there is a quieter beach village
Canggu
it's a top destination for a relaxing hippy atmosphere lovers
We have also been for a day trip to the Uluwatu temple
It's a beautiful temple complex situated on a cliff
not far there is also the beach where movie "Eat Pray Love" was filmed
From Bali we took a ferry to go to Nusa Lembongan
a wild and uncontaminated island
with plenty empty beaches and crystal blue waters
In the northeast part of the island you can explore mangrove forest with a cayak
In the Ovest side there are places in which you can admire the immense power of the ocean
From Nusa Lembongan i suggest a day trip to the near Nusa Penida
Another wild island expolorable with the scooter
with particular mountain formations
here there is a breathtaking view of the cliff with t rex shape
We left Nusa Lembongan and headed to the Gili Islands
a little island where there are no cars or scooter
the most used mean of transport is the bicycle
It's an island focused on parties
perfect place for chill all the day at the beach
In the Northeast part of the island there is a piece of coast
where you can swim between many fishes
and the sea turtles which come close to the coast to eat seaweeds
I ve already seen those amazing animals in the philippines but they were deeper in the sea
so the experience to swim with them so close was wonderful
From the Gili Islands is possible to go in day excursions with the boat
for diving or snorkeling
where in addition to swim between colorful fishes you can also see the underwater statues
From Gili we decided to take a crazy adventure:
4 days in a boat from questionable security measures
the final goal was to reach Komodo by sea with an indonesian boat
sleeping on the ground with the other guys,
"washing" ourself in the sea
and eating on the waves
the sea was really rough and sometime it seemed the boat could sink
but everything was worth
because we met 28 guys like us with who we have shared this experience
enjoying some little break in desert white sand beaches,
doing amazing snorkeling
and especially enjoying the time on the boat with some song and cold beer
One of our stop was in Gili Lawa
one of the most wonderful places that i have ever seen in my life
the view are definitely unique
We have also been in many white beaches
swimming between corals, manta rai and colorful fishes
The last day of boat trip we have visited Komodo
an island which is famous for the varan that live there
Those reptiles are fearful predators and it said are the last dinosaur on earth
Indonesia is a land that offer a lot of natural beauties
i would like to come back to enjoy other amazing places that i didn't have occasion to visit
like Raja Ampat
and Sulawesi
