Swimming at Crystal Bay, Nusa Penida

Welcome to Crystal Bay, Nusa Penida

I love swimming! 

It is indeed one of my favorite sports and whenever I can, I will definitely do it. I guess I have been swimming when I was a baby and my mom told me I love it since the very first time I tried it!

Well who wouldn’t? It is definitely one of the great sports I love doing whenever I have time. And that includes swimming at the pool or in any bodies of water, like the ocean and river.

On our last trip to Bali in 2020, I swam a lot.

Well, almost every day! Even when I still had classes, I could go swimming afterwards in the hotel where we were staying. That is why I love our vacation in Bali.

 Then in our trip to Nusa Penida, we also got a chance to go to Crystal Bay. Before that, we managed to come to the Kelinking beach, Angel’s Billabong as well as broken Beach. I shared that in my previous post.

In Crystal Bay, we finally swim in it was a lovely spot because it’s clean and water is cool. Since we have been walking and hiking a lot in the morning to see the other spots before, it was really refreshing to finally get into the water. 

Cheeers 

The beach was not so crowded and that is good because then we can swim comfortably. On that day, the waves and current were quite strong but I have to admit that my sister and I had a lot of fun chasing the waves. Our mom was a bit worried looking at the strong and crashing waves but we kept our swimming inside of the safety perimeter and we didn’t go too far either. I guess we really had to be careful as the under current could drag you away and you didn’t know what underneath the water.

The bay has a few islands surrounding it and we saw many boats around. Perhaps those were the one heading to snorkeling 🤿 spots. It would be good if we could try snorkeling here as well if the weather permits. I guess we just have to go back there again soon.

Well, what do you think?

Will you visit Nusa Dua and swim in Crystal Bay as well? 

See you in the next post!

See you soon, Crystal Bay

The Amazing Bali Trip Part 1

Hello from Kelingking Beach 🏖 

Here we go!

How is everybody? I hope everyone is fine and although we are in the middle of the pandemic, we still have a lot to do from home including schools.

I have been enjoying my online classes from the comfort of home, particularly my room, and although it is probably not perfect, but it’s good to continue our study. And the good thing is, it feels like you do have a holidays with some Homeworks occasionally LOL.

Anyway I would like to share a little story about our trip to Bali last December as my mom and my dad decided to have a little break from their works.

We started the journey on early morning and in Saturday to take the first flight to Bali from Halim Perdanakusuma airport. Our flight is at 7 on the dot and we have to be there before 6. We left home at 5 and lined up for all the new procedures during the pandemic. Days before that for the first time I took my rapid test at home together with my sister and my parents. Good thing that all the results were negative or non-responsive so we were good to go. 

All non reactive

The flight was smooth and we arrived in Bali quite early. We went directly to the hotel, which is the Conrad Bali, and Holiday started. It was still Saturday so we basically enjoy your time in the hotel and it’s really good to see some other places besides Jakarta and half the pool as well as the big hotel mostly for ourselves. That Saturday we didn’t go anywhere because the next day, on Sunday, we were traveling to Nusa Penida Island.

That place was amazing!

We took the boat from Sanur to go to this island and had a private tour. We went to Kelingking Beach which will blow your mind! It’s scary to see it from the cliff but the view is wow!

I went down the stairs with my dad to see the place closer. Boy it was even scarier LOL. The stairs are so steep! it was very tiring because the weather was very hot and the stairs are very steep. So we only went halfway there and decided to go back again to meet my mom and my sister. It was quite an experience. The next stops we have are broken beach and Angel’s Billabong. Then we swam at Crystal Bay. I love this beach because it is clean but the waves are strong. My sister and I had fun embracing the impact and enjoying the crystal turquoise water. My mom took a lot of photos and videos for sure.

Tiring but the view is WOW

Angel’s Billabong

Well, next we explored Nusa Dua, Karangasem and Ubud. Guess I will come back later. 

Thanks for reading the story!

Happy Happy New Year

Cheers from Lampung, Indonesia 

It’s been ages since the last time I write down some thing in my blog. Apologies for that but 2019 and 2020 prove to be busy years for me LOL. 

As you know life has been changing a lot even before COVID-19 pandemic for me. But I have to say at this point I do enjoy my time in Jakarta, Indonesia. My school it’s cool and I do enjoy my two years of junior high school here, while now I am already on the first grade of senior high school. My friends here are nice and we spend some time a lot online and off-line. 

Since the beginning of COVID-19, my classes were done in online platforms like zoom or Google meet. It was a bit challenging in the beginning but at the end of the day, I guess I nailed it! My grades from junior high school are good and satisfying, considering that I really have to adjust with everything since day one here. And then now in my new senior high school, I started it fully online as well because we start the term in the middle of the pandemic. Although I have not met my friends and My teachers directly or physically, but since we spent so much time at the online meeting on daily basis, I feel close to them.

Well I guess I will tell you more about schools later on but now I am very happy because things look better and we do have the vaccine now. I do hope we will have better 2021 with this vaccine and less casualties from the pandemic. 

Wishing you all a wonderful 2021 and healthy, safe, happy, and prosperous days ahead.
