Day 1
Wake up early this morning and go to airport, you should catch a bus or taxi from airport to Sanur. It is not very far from Kuta .All the intersections in Bali are very beautiful and you will feel all the Hindu religion and and Gods live here.It looks like a princely state.I love Bali’s airport also its unique as you can see in these pictures.
Like this one scene from @BhagwadGeeta, where, Lord Krishna is guiding Arjun.
Here you would need lot of cash or of you have a ATM its fine they ll charge the charges you get every time you withdraw money.Look for any Nusa penida tourist guide and when you find one get a package for boat ride to and fro Nusapenida,Card ride as long as you are going to stay on the Island plus cab to you rnext hotel.This harbour is all blue meanwhile your check-in in boat is being handled pose and get some beautiful pictures.
This boat ride will be an hour boat ride and mostly you will be sleeping all the time as sea is not so rough.But i had my munchkins my fun ride because of these two :).
So you have reached Nusa Penida and ,you will have your personal chauffeur waiting for us it was Dom. Dom was hardly 22 year old boy .He is all charming ,jovial and fun guy.In Bali if you are not smiling and talking you are already offending Balinese people.He picked us and we directly went to Crystal Bay.We were dying of hunger and so he suggested go for hot noodles,We never ate anything like this hot noodles.Here they have variety of red chilly and this one was really hot and tasted amazing with Bin Tan.
Crystal bay has most beautiful Sunset ,This was a complete rocky beach but it did not stopped us to go under water.
And now we head to our homestay .Homestay is totally a good idea in Nusa Penida. This place was better than any hotel also.
From outside it felt like a dark place and we were very suspicious but when you go inside you will only love this place.
Day 2
It has all Boho vibes ,devotions everywhere ,water continuity vessels and the perfect jungle house.Please visit these kind of sustainable places when you travel.All the doors are guarded by beautiful green creepers and lord Ganesha Idols for a moment i thought it was a temple.They offer you coffee and small breakfast in the morning.If you are a serious hot water bathing person ask them while making the reservations.One thing i cannot keep a secret the sunset you get to witness here are priceless.
Looks like I reached to morning,
Whenever you visit any country, you read about place(s) where one must visit to complete the trip. But rarely you find that the best place of the country is missing from the “Recommended” itineraries. Nusa Penida falls into the latter category. People like me who have been to this heaven have realized that its a crime to go to Bali and come back without visiting Nusa Penida.
Here are my 2 cents on the ever beautiful Nusa Penida for the nomads who want to visit this heaven.
Yes yes its continuation of my last blog on Bali Please read if you are also planning a trip to Bali-Nusa Penida and Semniyak.
In Nusa penida people are very simple and love you for your smile.Indians are loved across Bali and Indonesia with full heart.They will play at any restaurant if only you are the one siting around.We took a stroll in the roads and i saw 5-6 kids just enjoying PUBG on there big screens.After walking beside the hotel street it went dark we still thought go further and check out the new place and we found what we were looking for dinner.
We head to a restaurant where there was no customer but a very beautiful artistic place and live band of local artists practicing there songs in English,Bahasa and other languages.
Order food with Bin Tang and enjoy the good music.
And here comes the goodnight,Next day we are supposed to wake up at 7 and we never did.We directly head to Instagram places like KlungKung, yes the most famous Bali place on Instagram.
Your trip is not complete without any Bali swings so here you go.
Do you drink coconut water how big Coconut,because what we had was so big that we need people to finish it.you need water to move around Klungkung Regency its a big place and every place is worth a visit.
Next stop is Angel’s Bilabong.Not gonna tell you what to do i felt all the Bali crowd was only coming here .Please reach early in the morning.
Now you reach to most beautiful thing and place of the day.
The Broken Bridge.After seeing this place from every possible direction You will feel like i have seen the whole Island now.
This place is a complete experience you reach to the point by your hired car,But this beach amidst mountains and in deep between deep forest and at the lowest point of the mountain so you will need real help.There are lot of Bike riders and you cant miss this fun.Catch hold of these Bikers we paid 50 k per person in IDR and sat behind each biker.We were thinking we are paying him so much But soon we felt it was very less for the kind of adventurous ride we are on.You hold on tight to the biker on his shoulder and waist or you might fly and fall.They are amazing bikers not afraid at all and your adrenaline will have rush like free falling from sky to the ground.
When you reach between the jungle you got to hike few stairs don tbe scared its lot of stair but not so strenuous every body can do it.I am telling you this place is totally worth the effort.
Go ahead you will pat on your back.There are multiple springs here ,Kids will be diving and if you don’t want all that just enjoy the nature.
This place is totally hidden and only these Balinese sweet people can ride you here .If you were not a calm person before it is going to become totally interesting and calm from here.
Their beautiful houses, DOM our driver for this trip is a big fan of Arijeet singh and he is not leaving us if don’t play Muskurane ki wajah ,loved him our trip and ride .I wish I had taken a picture with him I miss him, maybe I meet him in my next Bali trip.
Its time you close all the payments and go back to boat. It will taken care by the same company. Read further in my next blog how it went in Semniyak. Its late night 1:30 am, tomorrow I must hit the gym and office early. Lets kick some ass.
FUCK YEAH WE’RE ALIVE.
