Balangan

One of the first days of our trip we decided to go to a different place to spend the day, go sightseeing and surfing at a different beach.

We took our motorbike, put the boards on the rack and headed off to our adventure :)

In the way we did some stops to take pictures :) (Padang Padang Beach)

Great views during the way :)

Finally, another spot in paradise :) (Balangan Beach)

You can have great views looking at the beach and looking from the beach, what a dreamy place!!

to be continued...

Have a great day!!!

Batu Bolong

There were many beaches where we went surfing during our trip to Bali. This one is supposed to be a bit "easier" and many beginners go there. It was the beach where we first and last went surfing, so I have a pleasant memory of it. I found it a very fun and long wave which let you practise all kind of turns!

Every morning we woke up around 6am and checked out the weather (mainly the wind). Here you can see the views from our camp

These are some kids who live near to us, they used to play there almost all the time

father/grandpa?

After checking the weather, we rode our motorbike to the beach (as many other as you can see...)

The beach...

And finally, early morning surf! :)

Have a nice Monday!!!

Bali Connection

Today is the day!!!:) Today I start my trip to BALIIIII!!!! :) I haven't been awared of "what was coming" till this morning when I woke up and I realized today was the day!, the day when one of my dreams was coming true :). Indonesia, I have dreamed about it since I was a kid and today (again) "is the day". I have to thank Alain (moonrocks) for making everything much easier, I haven't had to think about almost anything, just my flight, boards, bikinis and, of course, my passport!! haha

These are the boards I am taking with me

 

They are really similar to each other, one of them a bit wider than the other, but both 5'11''. I love these two boards, Gilito made them to me last year and they work great for me :)

 

However, before going to "paradise" I had to clean them a little bit :) Getting ready the boards :)

They look brand-new now :)

 

Finally, yesterday after work, I started and finished (haha) to prepare everything :). 

 

I cannot stop thinking I am missing something, but do not know what... can yout think of anything??? 

Now ready to go :)!

 

noooo, I am not going by car to Bali!!! hahaha I am just going to Madrid to catch my flight from there :) hehehehe

I will try to have you all updated :)

Have a great day, I am sure I will!! :)
