Recovering in Padangbai

Four weeks in Bali, that is nothing special anymore today, I am aware of that. Nevertheless, I wanted to write a small travel blog. On the one hand, because it is still something special for me, on the other hand, for my entertainment and to stay connected to the outside world.

Actually, I haven't shared a single meal with anyone so far, and typing in the blog has always been something communicative for me.

However, I wanted to write a small travel blog and not a medical history, so I'd rather skip a few days.

The fact is, I had to travel back to Bali to be close to an acceptable hospital if necessary.

However, I am getting better and I have chosen Padangbai as a location for a few days. A village known for its ferry port.

Large ferries depart from here regularly, carrying goods and people to various Indonesian islands. In addition, occasional streams of tourists pass through during the day, taking their speedboats to the Gilis here.

Only a few tourists stop here and in the evenings it is very quiet. The place has a run-down feel to it and at first I doubted my choice of location. However, I am starting to really like it. Padangbai is very well located for one or two motorcycle tours in the surrounding area, and besides the village beach, there is the Blue Lagoon, which is great for snorkeling, which has given me a few moments of happiness today.
