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.

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...
