Bali is one of those destinations that has become very popular, it seems like everybody’s been to Bali.. or quite. Visitors from the early days will tell you that “it used to be better”, that it’s now overcrowded and expensive, that the cities are very polluted and the traffic terrific. But on the other hand I’ve heard so much good things about the island and it’s life quality, that I wanted to see it for myself, before it gets worse. I booked a six week trip with my friend Diego, just the flight and a hotel for the first night leaving us all free to move and discover. After à 10h stop in Doha, we landed in Denpasar and took a cab to Kuta, hired some scooters for 6 weeks and bought some local surfboards. We moved west to Canggu, south to Uluwatu, north to Ubud, est to Keramas and overseas to Nusa Lembongan, essentially looking for good waves and nice places to chill.. and damn it was good. Bali really is a little paradise, the guesthouses are welcoming, the food is cheap and amazingly good, there is always a wave pumping somewhere and when you get out of the big cities the vibe is really chill..but what was most noticeable for me was the colors.. the sea, the sky, the temples.. the colors of Bali. Here you’ll find a few pictures I took during my trip. I wish I could have visited more deeply, but surf was our priority so we mainly stayed along the south coasts. I guess I’ll have to return someday and I hope I won’t have to say “it used to be better” 😉
