Good morning from Lombok in Indonesia.
Today we're going to do a little exploration of some waterfalls.
And in the last video I was on a dive boat in Raja Ampat and one of the guys on the boat
introduced me to Ari.
Ari: Yes, I'm Ari.
Nice to meet you.
Welcome to Lombok.
There are five waterfalls here but the main ones, the most impressive ones, you
can just choose to do two of them.
So when you come in here they have a little package for you and to do 2 right now anyway
is 125 rupiah, which is like 10 bucks.
Just paid the entrance fee, now we're walking to the waterfalls and I see the first one.
Nice.
Ari: Welcome to the first waterfall.
Okay well that was cool, there was pretty much no one else at that waterfall.
So if you come in low season, if you avoid the weekends, especially Sunday, you could
get these all to yourself.
Avril Lavigne is alive and well.
Now Ari has brought me to the village he grew up in and now we're just stopping here to
have a little coconut.
That's really good, really sweet.
On our way to the next waterfall, we're just making
a little pit stop because it's quite a long drive and we found a place where they sell
and grow durian.
I don't know if you've heard of durian, it's this very stinky fruit that's very polarizing,
people either love or hate it.
I think I love it, it's been a few years since I've tried it, so let's give it a try now.
It is super strong but I love the aftertaste.
It's very custard like, so I also like the texture.
Yeah, I like durian.
I don't know if you can hear me so I'm kind of shouting, but we've moved up north now
and we're at two waterfalls that are supposed to be really big and really amazing.
Here's the first one and it is really big and really amazing.
Number two.
All right, those were the waterfalls that I totally missed the last time I came to Lombok,
which was like four and a half years ago.
It was really cool to come back and see them this time.
I got to go for a little swim and get to know this island a little bit better, definitely
make some time for that in your itinerary if you find yourself here.
All right, so it's my last day in Lombok and this morning, I tried, I really did, to get
the view from that mountaintop there that you can see behind me, but Mother Nature had
other plans and it was just too foggy to see anything.
It cleared up a bit later and I came to the next best spot, this wooden star.
Actually, I think it's really cool, so it's okay that it didn't work out this morning
because it was good exercise, a good hike, about two hours almost straight up hill but
it's still a really nice way to wrap up an amazing trip in Lombok.
I am so glad that I came back and checked out all of the things that I missed last time.
I hope that you guys enjoyed it.
If so, give it a thumbs up, make sure to share it with your friends and subscribe so that
you can keep traveling with me around the world.
Bye.
