On our Honeymoon we headed towards the beautiful Island of Bali in Indonesia. It was really interesting to see how many people are choosing the scooter as a means of transport. I have never seen so many riders at the same intersection.
Day 1 – 22/06/2018
Distance: 56,3 km Duration: 3h 40 min Average speed: 15 km/h Top speed: 60 km/h
We have rented a scooter from a shop near to our hotel. 50cc , tops at 60 km/h, I tried 🙂
We headed towards the famous Bali Swing, where everyone is trying to take a picture flying above the rain-forest. Besides the mandatory Instagram pictures we found a lovely nest where even more romantic photos can be taken.
Next, we headed towards the rice fields in Tegallalang. The weather seemed to be nice, but you can never predict the tropical rain. We had to stop and wait for it to pass and fill the tank as well the local way.
Then we headed back towards the Monkey forrest and made made some friends with the inhabitants.
Then it started raining again, and we decided to look for another place to visit until the weather gets better here.
Day 2 – 28/06/2018
Distance: 46,1 km Duration: 3h 38 min Average speed: 16,68 km/h
We had a couple of days on the Gili Islands then returned to Ubud to check those sites that we missed due to the continuous rain.
This was the day of waterfalls. First we checked the beautiful Tegenungan waterfall that was one of the most peaceful site we’ve seen on the main island.
Next stop was Tirta Empul temple and park, we even got a blessing from a local woman with rice.
Day 3 – 29/06/2018
Distance: 133 km Duration: 4 h 45 min Average speed: 28 km/h Top speed: 80 km/h
We started the day early by watching the sunrise from the top of the volcano at Mount Batur, and the neighbouring volcano errupted on the same day, so we were able to take some beautiful pictures
After returning to the hotel and having breakfast, we rented another scooter, this baby topped at 80, to drive around the nearby public baths.
First we rode to the seaside. It was one of the main roads of the island, yet people were using their scooter to transport goods.
After that we headed towards the famous Tirtagangga that everyone who visits Bali should see and headed back through the mountain to our hotel.
