Highlights of Bali (Part 1)

Hello guys, John here bringing you only one blog of Bali and even though we've been in Indonesia for a month I think I should hurry up and get to the good stuff, but it's not all bad as I will be talking about all the highlights of Bali.  We not only stayed in Bali but went also to the Islandnof Java where we visited the temples of Borobudur and Prambanan as well as Yogyakarta and also travelled to Lombok and stayed on the very remote Gili Islands - Gili Air to be so specific.  


To start it off let me just say that I learned how to surf by the way, I mean not like a pro but I got to learn how to do it with the help of this company called Up 2 You surfing school.  Elizabeth and I signed up and we picked it up pretty quickly... But there was pain all around and that wasn't good :(.  Surf board rash is a real thing.  I pretty well did not have any fingertips left by the end of day three and had to take a break to recover!  Surfing was tough but fun as well the swell was huge at Legian beach were we had the lessons.

Next highlight might not be big to some of you guys but it's pretty small enough not to mess with your temper, I found 1$ Pokemon card packs all through Bali and I made some pretty cool profit of of them pulling 10 dollar cards from some of these packs, remember that I get to choose what goes into these highlights 😈. 

My next highlight is when I discovered this local chocolate company called Pod, basically it's now my favourite chocolate company as it produces the best chocolate in the world (My opinion).  Local to Bali and single source cocoa.  They combined interesting flavours and like green tea, ginger, cardamom, lemon grass, sea salt and it all tasted the absolute best.  I didn't find this chocolate everywhere in Indonesia but it was heaven when we did and I went all out on it, you gotta try some if your readings this... Real Indonesian cocoa bars :D, MMMMMMMMMH! 

My next highlight is a bit weird because it talks about the airport, the Balinese airport is so nice and I wanted to stay there all day even though it had nothing to do with the area itself, i don't know but I think it had something to do with the lack of order, civilization and technology but it was all good cause we went there 6 times :P! 

My final highlight as I am running out of time we had a really great time, Indonesia in general was amazing and beautiful when it comes to their culture and sense of humour, it's all good. I have to say that their food is really really good, they specialize on the chicken satay with peanut sauce, also I had the chicken cordon blue which has nothing to do with Bali... I was hungry okay 😭😜. But until next time where I think I will have another part of these highlights blogs of Bali because... I mean... We were there for a month and there isa lot more, but this has been John and is officially signing out! Just a to let you know these highlights are not in order there just the highlights that come up from the top of my head and then I right it down, it's a bit all over the place as the next part will be. 😝
