Snap snap!

It's taken forever, but I finally snapped out of my pre-school laziness to post these pictures from Bali! Hope you find them entertaining.


Straight off the plane from Jakarta to Bali. Translation: Welcome to Bali!

There were bird cages everywhere nearby our hotel rooms! It was strange but distinctly beautiful.

The beautiful setting outside of our hotel rooms. I love the ornate details in Balinese architecture.

On the left: our gracious tour guides for our first day in Bali, Mario and Claudia. On the right, Stefan exhibiting some typical behavior: smoking in the morning and hotel slipper-wearing all the time.

Sascha tended his wounded ankle daily with bandages and some kind of red-colored medicine. The gash was still kind of deep, but better than when he initially cut his leg on our trip to Pelabuhan Ratu.

A parking lot areal view of Dreamland Beach, one of the quieter beaches in South Bali. It's known for having fairly spotless shores and killer waves for surfers who know their stuff.

The waves were so fucking strong at Dreamland that my entire bikini was almost ripped off and I felt like I nearly drowned twice. It was kind of worth it.

Paradise.

The entrance gate to Padang Padang Beach in Uluwatu; the journey was steep and perilous, but well worth it, if not for the guys in our group. There was tons of topless sunbathing going on.

The tide was so low that you could walk out to all the jutting rocks and little islands of land normally hidden by the water. It was pretty special.

The huge cliffs of Padang Padang

Our half-ass group picture. Stefan and Sascha ruined everything :P

The Bali crew, shortly before eating the biggest seafood dinner of our lives.

Our amazing dinner came with some equally fantastic musical entertainment by a group of musicians who, by day, work as fishermen. They even sang some Beatles!

I like this photo a lot
Crazy eyes!

A Bali sunset with my dear friend Stefan. Who's more photogenic :)?

Stefan: "It's trying to tell me something, I just know it..."

Sascha has a tender moment with one of the puppies.

Sleepy puppy!

The looooong waves at Kuta Beach were pretty rad...the shore extended so far up, it was fantastic :)

Too bad that your four days staying in Bali has been yielding by your illness, but from what I've seen in your pic, you enjoyed it very much.

Nice to read your blog.
