Surf Travel Guides

Once more we extend our stay in Indonesia. This time because our friend Daniela is returning to Indonesia. We spend already some time with her some weeks ago. To have a nice last adventure in Indonesia we decide to visit West Java.

After our days in the hidden paradise we don’t feel at all like going back to Bali so we decide to reurn for 10 days to Roti. The trip to the airport makes a new chapter in our „the local way to travel“ diary.

We surf every day unless we take pictures. On those days our balls wheren’t big enough… or the waves where bigger than our balls, however. It was a good opportunity to make a big pleasure to our buddies with some shots off the canoe.

To reach our new secret paradise we have to get trough some stresses and strains. All in all we travel around 36 hours from Lakey. From the hills we get the first sight over the dream like bay. No big hotels as far as we can see. And as we find out later, there’s even no restaurants, no shops, no mobile phones and we’re far away from any internet connection. Our accomodation is a simple bamboo hut with a matrass and a moscito net.

The following pictures show some details of our daily routine. Here’s a rough schadule of a nomados day...

Some weeks have past since our last post. A lot of things happened meanwhile and there’s a lot to tell. Let’s turn time back to Lakey on Sumbawa. All in all we spend close to two weeks on the island. The food was an absolute highlight, a perfekt mixture between asian and western kitchen.

Almost three weeks have past since we left Roti. After one month of eating rice, vegies and fish we are more than happy when get served our pizza in an Italian Restaurant in Kuta. Elias time in Indonesia is over and once more we say good bye to a good freind.

We’ve spend now three weeks on the island, and every time we had to choose between making pictures and surfing we decided to surf. It was time to keep the promise to Dani and Elias to get some pictures of them on the waves.

Kupang is a hassle. We rush from one place to the other to organize all the things we need. The pizza we where looking so much forward was nowhere to find. However, we enjoyed much the aircondition and the huge bed… One day later we are happy to be back on the island.

Welcome to the surf metropole Bali. We find a room in the middle of the pumping area in Kuta, Poppies Line 2. It’s fore sure not the most romantic place to spend several weeks but it’s the place where everything is easy to organize. Allthough the surf is small and as crowded as the little streets in Kuta we enjoy the warm water and the nice climate.
