Bali diary part 1 | Seminyak


It's been a while since I'm back home but I would still like to share some of my photos from my little adventure to Bali and Australia. On June 21st I walked to the China Southern Airlines counter and checked in my suitcase. I still couldn't believe that I was about to fly to Indonesia. My first stop was in Changsha, China. On the plane were a lot of backpackers who had a connecting flight to Thailand but there was one girl who went to Bali as well. We then boarded the next plane to Guangzhou where we had a 10 hour (!) stopover. We mostly spent our time sleeping on the floor because we couldn't leave the airport since we had no visa for China, which we obviously didn't need for a stopover. I booked that flight because it was cheap but if I learned one thing from that experience, it is that I'd rather spent a few more bucks on a more convenient connecting flight next time. Anyway, after a 5 hour flight from China to Bali I arrived at around 3:30 am in my beautiful little apartment.

On my first morning I went to the most amazing place called "Café Organic". I've found it on instagram. They have so many healthy and delicious meals! I had a "pineapple ship" made of different types of fresh fruit and a berry smoothie. They also serve savory meals like avocado on toast or omelette with veggies. The staff is super sweet but the prices are definitely european standard. That's the thing about Bali: You can either spend 2$ on food a day or 20$. Obviously I didn't go there every single day but it was my little special treat for starting my adventure.

One evening I walked down a street hoping to find a nice beach to take some pictures of the sunset. As you can see there are no sidewalks and the streets are quite narrow so you almost never see people walking. Literally everyone owns a scooter or a car.


 Even if you can't really tell by the picture but the bar was loaded with people and you could hear the loud music playing from miles away. Apparently it was the place to be in the evening, for locals and tourists.



Stay tuned for more pictures from Ubud, Uluwatu and Australia! x
