Waddup from Bali, Indonesia, I landed here from Siargao yesterday...no, not even yesterday.
The last time you saw me I was still at Siargao, so I got on a plane and went to Cebu, in the
Philippines, and then to Singapore, and then I got here to Bali.
Bali is really busy for me, I tend to not really wanna spend much time here but yesterday
was a totally different story.
I landed and I learned that it was 'Nyepi' which is a holiday where there is silence
and everyone takes the time to pause and reflect.
So that also means is that the internet was completely turned off including the cell towers.
Like all of Bali did not have connection yesterday.
No lights either, and so the stars were actually incredible.
Like can you imagine your entire city going completely dark?
And also you're not allowed to leave your home.
So I basically spent all day meditating and sleeping, but honestly mostly sleeping, I
didn't I was so tired.
I haven't done that in years.
Now, I'm getting ready to head to Nusa Lembongan and check out a new island.
So let's pack this mess up and go.
Well, hello from Nusa Lembongan, I just checked into my room and I am stoked.
I love the value of things in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia though, I feel like
it's such a good bargain here.
So this is the room.
I have air-conditioning and this big old bed so I can sleep like an "X".
And look at the bathroom.
And I have a wardrobe that I'm not gonna put my things in but it's nice to have.
And I have my own little like outside sitting area with its own door.
I basically just went on booking.com and picked the highest rated place and it just happened
to be a place that was actually not that expensive.
So I am paying the equivalent of like 30 bucks a night to stay here, even...no, less than
that actually, like 25 bucks a night to have this room.
That's awesome.
You would not be able to get anything for 20 bucks a night in like Europe, or the U.S.,
it would not be a place you'd wanna stay, but this is awesome.
Yo, good morning.
So today I'm going to hop on a scooter and just go to some of the really cool places.
There's some mangroves, there's some gorgeous beaches.
I heard that it was a bit less crowded here than in Bali, and I just wanna see it for
myself, I've heard really good things about the Nusa Islands.
There are three of them: Lembongan, where I am now, Ceningan, and Penida.
So I'm going to explore Lembongan today, Ceningan tomorrow, and then I'm giving Penida four
days after that.
I've heard that, well, it's much bigger for one and I've heard that it's really cool and
it doesn't get nearly as many tourists.
So let's jump on a scooter now and get to exploring because it's already like 9, so
I wanna get out there.
Yo, at my first stop which is in the I guess you could say the northern tip of the island,
it's mangroves and there's a lot of little cute places along the beach where you can
stop.
There is this swing here which I like.
A tour, it's like 30 minutes, takes you through the mangroves and you can go snorkeling, is
100,000 which is like eight bucks but I just really don't wanna join a group tour, so I'm
gonna do the lazy girl way and drone over it.
Not gonna say this has made me lazier but it's definitely allowed me to do fewer things
I didn't really feel like totally doing.
Two beverages in this life that I am hopelessly addicted to: cappuccino and soda water.
It's bubbly but there's no sugar.
So much more satisfying than normal water.
If you're coming from the mangroves you could drive down this one to get to the bridge to
Ceningan, the other island nearby which is also very small.
So I feel like I'm gonna be able to do everything I wanted to do here, including on Lembongan
and Ceningan probably just today.
So yeah I'm gonna keep on going just really enjoying this drive.
If you come here and you're confident on a motorbike, do it.
Okay, the water this whole drive on this island has been super blue and beautiful so now I'm
at the Blue Lagoon, and oh my god, holy, what?
How is the water this color?
Oh my god, are my eyes playing a trick on me?
This is like baby blue.
That is so cool.
One thing I really like about the Nusa Islands, is they have that Bali style, it's sort of
part of Bali, and I think that I just dig this so much, I think it's absolutely stunning.
But what I don't like about Bali is how crowded it is and how I pretty much can't go anywhere
without getting stuck in a traffic jam.
So I've tended to stick to the other islands, but it's nice to discover the Nusa Islands
because they are quiet and they still have the similar culture and it's like so beautiful.
Cool, there's a lot of sea arches.
Let's check out that cliff jump now.
Is a cliff jump over here just there behind me?
I really liked the one that I did in the Philippines, it was higher, and this one you have to pay
to do it, more than I paid in the Philippines, so I'm just not feeling it today.
I was on my way out and saw this place, it's too cool, and they have a puppy.
I'm definitely digging this place, it's super quirky, it's all like driftwoody and
they serve their drinks with paper straws not plastic straws.
Cheers to that.
So this is Dream Beach, this is probably the most popular beach to visit here on Nusa Lembongan,
and it's like fine.
I don't think it's like amazing but it is...it does have nice white sand and the water looks
nice too.
It's definitely something to visit later in the day or early in the morning because otherwise
you're gonna share it with a lot of people.
It's like 4:30, 4:45 right now, so my timing's pretty good but I think it's time to go to
the Devil's Tears, that's what I've been wanting to see.
Okay, it's the final stop of my little Lembongan, Ceningan tour, if you can call it that.
The Devil's Tears are over there but these tide pools, if you asked me, are even cooler.
So just hanging out here.
Oh, that dude's going for a swim.
Nice.
