Beer Me – Bali Edition

Clint R — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Continuing our tour of beers across the globe with our stop in Bali. Indonesia is one of those “one national beer” countries – in this case the brand is Bintang. You can generally find Heineken at most places (as with most of the world) and there is a small but growing craft beer movement in […]

Exploring Bali – Rice Paddies, Waterfalls, and The Beach

Clint R — Sun, 18 Dec 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Combining a few of our smaller excursions in Bali for this post/video. None of these had enough footage/story to justify an individual post, but are definitely worth publishing – so here we are! First up was a trip north from Ubud to Tegallalang, to an area famous for terraced rice paddies. We spent a day […]

Out to Eat in Bali

Clint R — Fri, 16 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Doing your own cooking is sometimes possible in Bali; however very quickly you’ll find going out to eat at restaurants is the preferred option. During our visit we had one homestay with a modest shared kitchen, but the other two places had no cooking facilities available. All our places did have electric tea kettles, though, […]

The Campuhan Ridge Walk – Rainforests and Rice Paddies

Clint R — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Ubud – Bali, Indonesia Compared to our earlier adventures in Australia/New Zealand and our hometown in the USA, Bali is a much different place to hike. For one thing, the heat and humidity makes everything a much sweatier affair. For another, the island is quite fully inhabited (at least where we visited, did not make […]

Canang Sari in Bali – Offerings to the Gods

Clint R — Thu, 08 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Quickly upon arrival in Bali, you’ll start to notice small, woven bamboo containers filled with flowers, spices, incense, food, coins, and sometimes even cigarettes, all over the ground. These are laid out freshly every morning, and often again in the evenings. These offerings are known as Canang Sari, and are part of a daily ritual […]

25 Minutes on a Moped Through Ubud – Bali, Indonesia

Clint R — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Similar to many other places through the world, mopeds/motorbikes are the most common form of personal transportation on the island of Bali. For the grand total of about $60,000 Indonesian Rupiah (~$3.85 USD) per day, you can rent one yourself and join in on the action. For 2 days in the town of Ubud, that’s […]

The Street Dogs of Bali, Indonesia

Clint R — Fri, 02 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Upon arrival in Bali, it’s hard not to notice an abundance of dogs roaming the streets. The island’s dog population is in the hundreds of thousands, and actually grew by over 10% during the pandemic – money from tourism funds many of the programs for sterilization. There are several reasons cited for the island’s high […]

A Visit to The Sacred Monkey Forest

Clint R — Tue, 29 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Ubud – Bali, Indonesia The second stop on our month-long tour through Bali was the town of Ubud. We weren’t near the beach for this part of the trip – Ubud is located in Bali’s uplands and is surrounded by native rainforest and terraced rice paddies. The town is famous for its landscapes, as well […]

Bali Indonesia is a Great Place to Relax

Clint R — Sun, 27 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

From August to October, we spent 54 days on the road in New Zealand, moving from place to place and driving an average of 70 miles per day. Next we spent a very busy week in the very busy city-state of Singapore, walking well over 20,000 steps per day exploring as much as we could. […]

(An Attempt at) Surfing in Bali

Clint R — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

After our 54-day campervan tour through New Zealand and a whirlwind week in Singapore we moved on to Bali, Indonesia – the 6th new country of our adventure. Bali is an excellent place to chill out, but our first location on the island – Canggu – is very temptingly well known as a great spot […]
