Back to mainland Bali We had a 0915 ferry from Nusa Penida back to Sanur.  The hotel had arranged a car for us departing at 0815 so that we’d get to the ferry 30 minutes before departure.  It turned out to be shared with another couple.  Perhaps that explains why it is cheaper than the […]

Peguyangan Waterfall We wanted to have an early start today so that we would avoid as much of the heat as possible during our motorbike explorations.  It seemed like a good day to do land-based activities as being Nyepi Laut, no one (or boats) is allowed to be in the water or even on the […]
