Today was our last day in Bali. We had a bit of a slow start, snacking on leftovers from dinner as we all packed our bags and tidied up the villa. Our plan for the day was to spend some time in Seminyak, then relax at a bar until time […]

The image above nicely summarises my impression of Canggu – slow paced, relaxed and close to the beach. It’s way quieter compared with Seminyak, and we had a very relaxing day there today. After a bit of a sleep in, Ron and I emerged to find the others had already […]
Today was another moving day, going from Seminyak to stay with Ilona and her friends at Canggu. But, before we relocated we were heading to Pantai Pandawa to enjoy the beach followed by a fresh seafood lunch.
