Isle of the Gods

My second last destination was the isle of the gods, commonly known as Bali.
Expectations: sun, beach, party, diving & surfing.
Reality: sun, beach, party, diving & surfing.

What more could I want at the end of my amazing year? Holiday from my vacation!

I had to leave my hostel in Bangkok at half past 3am in the morning to catch my flight and therefore the plan for the day was to just arrive and take a nap and do not party. But as it is plans never really work out. I immediately met people at the airport and we shared a taxi to our hostel. Then we obviously had to grab some food first to prevent starvation and eventually we ended up at the beach. All together it was so awesome that we decided we had to go out that night. Things got even better when we met even more people to go out with and they told us that there is a happy hour in a club called skygarden where you get free cocktails between 9 and 10 pm. We made it there at 9 and let the fun beginn. Take a cocktail and while drinking it queue on for the next one. It was a dangerous game we played but we played it well. In other words we got completely shitfaced and had an awesome night out. Just the next morning I woke up and I found out that I have peeled off quite a lot of my skin of my big toe and my toe was covered in blood. Moreover I had no idea how we got back but apparently we have been on the back of some random guy's scooter. Well at least I had no hangover which was ridiculous. That day I had a shuttlebus to bring me north to Ubud. Small town with shitloads of temples and a monkey forest which later turned out to be great fun.

Here in Ubud I met a lot of people and on the next day 8 of us decided to rent a scooter and explore the island.


The gang on tour!

When we just wanted to start one Brazilian girl lost control of her scooter and drove into a field that was 1.5m below street level and she even flipped over. I really want to have her guardian angel because she just got some bruises and nothing else. Even the scooter was still fine and we could go on like planned.


Beautiful! Rice terrasses...


Selfi-time!





We drove north to the vulcano and we had a stunning view. Driving a scooter is so much fun but we were quite slow since the girls were a little bit scared.




The next day 5 of us were left and we wanted to rent a scooter again. But in end the 3 girls of us decided they wanted a taxi instead so only Timo and me rented a scooter. Since we were without the girls we could drive way faster and the max speed was 110km/hr. So we first went to the monkey forest in Ubud. We got some bananas to play with the monkeys and the were everywhere. They will just climb or jump on you to get to the bananas. Once I didn't let go of my banana and the monkey just peeled the inside of the banana out. Cheeky little creature!





Next stop was the elephant caves a little further. Not to bad as well but nothing too impressive.


Some altars for some gods I just don´t know...

At last we wanted to see the famous temple which was very far away in the north west but was a must see!


The game of Thrones!


We again finished the trip in the night and driving in Bali in the night is dangerous cause the streets are crap and you can't really see the deep potholes. So after some almost-accidents we made it home safely. The next day me and two amazing Irish girls, Emma&Jenni, left Ubud to go to marvellous Gili Trawangan!

As you obviously can scry I was gonna have an awesome time there consisting of beach, sun and PARTY!
Yeah Gili T is known as a great party island and that's what we did!
Going out every night and finish the week off with a full moon party but more about that later.


One day after us Timo arrived and he brought an engliah mate with him, Karl.
The group of us was complete now and very promising.
Since Timo and Karl stayed at another place we only met up with them in late afternoon so I spent most of my days with the girls and you seldom meet people as fun as those girls are.
Emma is just completely insane and Jenni has got the habbit to go into the sea with electronic devices which ends up quite funny for everyone but her.
-"Oh no I went into the sea with my phone last night!"
-"Don't take your iPod touch with you to the party Jenni! You're gonna crash it in the sea as well!"
-"Nah won't happen this time."
Next morning: "God damnit! I went into the sea with my iPod and it's broken now..."
One word: priceless...

One day I actually spent diving and I probably had my best dive so far.
Seen many many turtles, sharks, octopuses, lionfishes....










The day of the full moon party the girls eventually left me and we were all sad about that but they wanted to see Java and I wanted to surf in Kuta. Gonna miss ya girls!

So only me and the boys left to have a good night out.
Well that evening didn't start to bad tho we had a good predrinking and met some people to go to the party with and it was all in all good fun. Just at one point (probs about 3-4am) a damn scorpion stung me in the finger so I had to go to the doctor to see how much time I had left before I die of the poison. However it was a quite a weak poisoned scorpion and they said it'd be fine and I could return to the party what I did. Let's continue!
The day after the party I actually managed to gety ferry back to Kuta and Timo and Karl were about to follow me the day after.

Kuta is just sick! We managed to get an apartment quite close to the beach and the main road. We almost everyday we did the same: getting up late, go to the beach and surf til 5pm. Then we went to a club called Skygarden because they had a good all u can eat BBQ and free flow beer for 5$! After that back to our apparent for chilling or a nap. Be back at skygarden at 9pm because them starts the one hour freeflow of cocktails! And after that just keep on partying!


Karl, me, Timo : best party crew!


Well...nothing to say here...the clubs in Kuta are a little...how can I say...different...


How we sleep after a long night out!


You see them everywhere offering you mushrooms and even give out cards...seriously?

I just love Bali! But after one week in Kuta with Tue boys I had to leave to fly to my final destination!
