02/04/2019 A wonderful week in Canggu and thus also the first week of our trip is over and it feels as if we have been on the road for much longer. Canggu was the perfect start...

We hiked through green rice fields in the morning and later admired the bat cave temple and ceiling paintings in an ancient court hall.

Once again, we set off early in the morning - this time to see the sunrise at Mount Batur. After that, the program continued with a dip in a hot spring, a temple visit, and a...

The visit to Komodo Island was certainly the highlight of our sailing cruise east of Bali. There, we were able to admire some specimens of the huge Komodo dragons up close.

We had the opportunity to explore the islands around the Komodo National Park by boat for three days and two nights, and we experienced a lot of beautiful nature.

Our first stop for sightseeing was the Buddha Monastery Brahmavihara Arama, the largest Buddhist temple in Bali. The roads were very steep and curvy - unfortunately too steep for...

For the first time on Indonesian soil - salamat siang. We were picked up directly from the airport to our guesthouse in Bukit Lawang. It took us 4 hours for 70 km :)) Some of...

On the Dieng Plateau, we saw the oldest Hindu temple complex in Java. Our drive took us past rice terraces, tobacco, tea, and coffee plantations.

Wednesday, September 5th, 2018 Since we have to give up fine home cooking, I thought I'd show you what we've been eating so far. Also, I don't know who else I could bother with...

The train takes me leisurely within 4 hours to my next point on the map of Java. This one is located at the very end with a view of Bali and is called Banyuwangi. There, I will...

An interesting day back in Indonesia.

When we arrived in Bali, our first impression was: culture shock! Not only the heat of humid 30 degrees, but also the dozens of taxi drivers in the airport lobby who promised a...

The days of relaxation are initiated by a yoga class. When selecting the yoga studio, we choose Intuitive Flow. The small studio above the rooftops of Ubud offers a basic course...

Yesterday we booked the crossing to the small island of Gili Air via the internet. Since Ubud is not anywhere near the water, we also booked the 1 ½ hour drive to the port. We...

FINALLY ARRIVED! And I'm almost in in LOVE with this island!

The first days in Bali were finally a relaxation. At the beginning we enjoyed the days in the hotel, explored the city of Denpasar a bit, and treated ourselves to a small...

We spent the last two days near Tangkoko National Park. Today at 8:30, we met with our national park guide Raphael, and not ten minutes later, we saw the first monkeys. (Macaques)...

Today we went diving twice in paradise, surrounded by countless turtles and large schools of fish. We also saw a reef shark, a large tuna, an orangutan crab, and a Napoleon...

Gili Trawangan turned out to be a real surprise. Branded a bit as a party island, we wanted to decide against it, but it really was fantastic. The boat trip from Sanur to Gili...

Ubud is almost exactly as you would imagine. Totally green and surrounded by jungle and rice fields. Hip and of course vegan and relaxed… but from the beginning: From Canggu we...

Even the first taxi ride in Bali is great! For once, out of convenience, I booked it in advance so that all I have to do is fall off the plane and someone will be standing there...

The Togian Islands are a maritime national park in the Gulf of Tomini, right on the equator. When planning our vacation, we saw pictures of dreamy paradise beaches and untouched...

Today we started our day early at 5:30 am with delicious pancakes because at 6:00 am our morning tour into the rainforest with our guide Aceh began. Excitedly, we followed Aceh...

In the first night in Manado, we slept well after a long journey. The next day, we walked around Manado in the heat of the midday sun, feeling motivated despite the 35°C...
