Seven days in Bali.

Upon landing in this interestingly shaped airport, before even getting to see the outer world, I've first noticed my luggage's drink handle has been ripped off, though I've received no compensation as it's deemed as wear and tear by the airline. However, this did not lower my excitement for the unravelling bali.

As we then withstood van commute time of more than 3 hours, arriving in the hotel, finally making it to dinner at the roof, where we made our own offerings, learning the craft, however this is also the beginning of the... let's just say, subpar food we've endured in bali which is the exact same throughout the whole journey. Maybe due to the immense amount of food me and James - who came with me on the CAS trip - need, or simply the lack of food, we stayed at the roof and ordered more food meanwhile chit chatting.

Today is one of the two top experiences I anticipated from this trip - rafting, even if we're not used to the extremely early morning wake up calls, we quickly got ready and dressed up for the whitewater rafting. Although it's not my first time rafting, the advertised and from what I've heard stunning views still drove my adrenaline. And it's true, I was not disappointed, the views were breathtaking, so was the process, as the ferocious waves made it incredibly difficult to operate the boat with us drifting to the coast constantly. Overall that was a thrilling journey.

Free time is what follows, where me and James decided to go on an adventure up the hill behind the village, where we've found more similar views to the mountain range, and got more time to really feel, and completely immerse ourselves in nature.

Not long after, we continued to explore the village, finding more animals, their local styled architecture and design.

We left there for dinner, not before taking photos with the people we've met.

Cycling by it's self might not be that interesting, however, cycling in another nation, not to mention the culture significance shown in nearby structure and local terrain. Today we went on a journey cycling to Banjar village, it was a bizarre and enjoyable experience where there are people falling into the fields, however passing people and speeding from last to first place was fun.

We then finished in a wooden cabin in the nature, where we were again required to take our shoes off in order to enter. In such a cozy cabin, we were served their own coconut milk, which is also where we first got a different lunch, an enjoyable one...

Our afternoon was also filled with even more food, specifically, desert. We explored how are chocolates made and molded our own chocolate.

The worst nightmare of visiting an island belonging to a developing country had come true... A lively cockroach was uncovered when I tried to eat my burger at dinner. I was frightened and immediately disgusted as you'd expect, and demanded it to be remade, however what you aren't gonna expect is that the travel organization's leader on the trip straight out denied my request and told me to just deal with it and that cockroach are ubiquitous, its not a big deal, basically, take it or leave it. This event really did leave an impression for me on the organization. Left with no options I tried to separate most of the parts that the cockroach have been to and ate the ~40% remaining.

All that aside, it was a great day and we were ahead of schedule, earning ourself some night shopping time, concluding the day.

With yesterday's horror, entering the last day until going back, we've woke up early today to yoga class, giving me some peace of mind and a break from yesterday's. Then heading back to yesterday's surfing, except today we've got the stunning napalm sky promised.

Today we're obviously improving and getting better at surfing, however it's the last day of surfing, hence we've got a picture with all the coaches.

An eco project also took place today however it was not as entertaining or helpful. After said project, we headed back to the beach we served to observe purely the magnificent and stunning firestorm napalm sky at sunset. We were shopping nearby meanwhile waiting for the sunset.

Then it comes the sunset, the tide rises and beautiful memories are made.

As we board our planes back home.
