Reefview Bungalows Pemuteran

... 10 km/h, czasami trzeba sie zatrzymac zeby minac sie z ciezarowka. Jedziemy przez plantacje kawy.
Do miejscowosci pod Kawah Ijen dojezdzamy chwile po 18-tej. Kwaterujemy sie w Arabica Homestay. Jest to cos co wyglada na hotel robotniczy na terenie fabryki kawy, ale jest o wiele czysciej niz pod Bromo. Mila rzecza jest publicznie dostepna kawa za friko. Jest cieplej niz wczoraj. Jutro wstajemy o 4:00, po sniadaniu czeka nas trekking na wulkan Ijen.

... ligger med 500-1 km mellem sig, for at checke priser. Jeg tør slet ikke tænke på den øvelse, hvis vi ikke havde haft transport, for klokken blev alligevel henad de 8 stykker, før vi fandt det hotel, vi ville være på de næste 4 dage. Faktisk blev det så sent, at Jørgen fik overtalt os andre til at checke ind på et meget billigt gæstehus, for det var jo alligevel så sent, at vi ikke fik glæde af resortets faciliteter ...

... e acabámos por conversar bastante durante o resto da viagem, os outros dois eram um bocado mais tímidos, nem chegámos a saber como se chamavam. A viagem até ao Ijen demorou cerca de 5 horas, no último troço a estrada era mesmo muito má e ainda por cima começou a chover torrencialmente, e depois encontrámos nevoeiro, o que nos lembrou as nossas aventuras em Flores. O condutor não falava Inglês, por isso a comunicação era um bocado limitada, segundo ele estavamos sempre a 1 hora ...

Woke up the next morning feeling much better. Ben expressed that he was confident that all our accidents were out of the way and that we would be safe from then on. I decided to proceed slowly with much caution and only drive during the day. Once we got out of Tabanan the roads got much better, the traffic subsided and driving was much easier. We drove through some amazing rice terraces and a national park. Finally we decided to stop for lunch at a spot Becca spotted. We drove ...

... there with goats tied up in the front and lots of private boats that they use for fishing. Very friendly people greeted us, but we decided not to intrude on their living spaces. Kathy is past her "Bali Belly" now since she had spicy Spaghetti Aglio last night. I ate what she had ordered a couple of night earlier when she realized that she shouldn't try something quite that spicy just yet. It was very good! More later from Ubud! Jack

... times because of a friendship she developed with the owner, Prana, who is a spiritual leader here on Bali. He wanted to combine a place to draw tourists for spirituality and personal relaxation that would benefit a struggling village economy. It seems to work. It's more expensive than TR, where we pay $60/night. Here we are staying in a 2 bedroom villa for $150, but we split the cost with my sister so it makes it very affordable. The restaurant is also slightly ...

I arrived on the North Side beach town of Lovina on Wed night. I stopped at Gitgit twin waterfalls, and Pura Ulun Temple at Lake Beratan. Very beautiful. I found a hotel (king bed, A/C, pool, 200ft from beach, $12) and then Spice Dive shop. I signed up (the only one there, it's low season), and had my first day of lessons on friday. all day in the pool with my instructor Augustus. I learned all the basics, how to breathe, what to do when my mask ...

... by a cop for an illegal driving maneuver. the "fine" is paid directly on the spot and we carry on. we finally arrived to yogy at 11 am. we started at 11 am from kuta and this bus at 3pm. would you believe that we then chose to get on yet another bus to the little town 1 1/2 hours away right then? yup. we arrived in borobudur at 1pm making this one of our longest travel pushes yet. no one comes to borobudur in the rainy season and we have the whole hotel to ourselves.

... Loz came down with a stomach bug so we felt that it was prudent to try and get her to a good doctor. We decided to head across to Lombok island to an anchorage called Teluk Kombal. This was on the nth west side of Lombok (08.24.30S, 116.04.52E). Here we found a health centre, thanks to Heidi's intrepretative skills. Loz was given some tablets to take and was feeling much better in herself having seen someone. We stayed for ...

... re un fenêtre de la classe. Ça été une très bonne expérience, bien amusante. Je suis passé ensuite sans m'en rendre compte sur l'équateur, en pleine nuit, en bus. Je dois dire que le centre de l'ile de Sumatra est assez haut, donc la température est relativement fraîche malgré la latitude. Et que dire de Bukittinggi! Je me suis fait un guide-ami local qui m'a fait visiter des endroits superbes les 3 jours que j'ai passé là. Chose étrange, Bukkittinggi ressemble beaucoup ...
