We tried to arrange our last 4 days in Seminyak efficiently to allow us to do everything that we wanted, and also enjoy some relaxing beach time. We arranged a day at Kuta beach to meet our surfing instructors with the intention of practicing our new skills, but unfortunately the waves weren’t playing ball that day so we didn’t get to. We still ended up having a really fun day there sitting under the trees with the guys, drinking beer and listening to whoever...

The next day we had planned to spend the day in Canggu. We’ve heard mixed reviews about this place so we went with an open mind. We got a taxi (that should have taken about 30 mins but the traffic is so awful here that it took over an hour) and got dropped to the beach near Old Mans... a restaurant that turns into a lively bar at night as we assumed this would be where we’d spend the majority of our day. It was boiling hot so obviously we wanted to cool off i...

The lovely Harry had offered to take us from Ubud to Seminyak so he picked us up from our Ubud hotel at 10am and took us to our first stop which was Bali’s version of the Grand Canyon.

We’re honest like that. We also weren’t dressed appropriately to get wet and it meant unpack...

We were pretty sad to be leaving the super chilled Nusa Islands, but excited for some change of scenery in Ubud. It’s more inland so we’ve not had any beach days here, but there’s lots to keep you busy. We were driven to our hotel straight after getting off the fast boat in Sanur which took nearly an hour. We’re staying a fair way from the centre but it’s lovely accommodation. You have to walk down huge stairs to get down to our simple but quaint doub...

We were picked up from Legian bright and early on 4th September by our shuttle bus driver who took us to the coastal town of Sanur where we hopped on a fast boat ferry over to the Island of Nusa Lembongan. There are 3 small islands only a 30 minute boat ride away from Bali called Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Cenningan and Nusa Penida. After some research on the islands we had decided to make Lembongan our base for the week and just do trips out to the other islands, so w...
