There are no motorized vehicles in the Gili islands. Instead, all transportation is done with bicycles or carts pulled by horses, which adds to the magic of the island. Today I finished my Advanced Diving course and celebrated my new certification!

My diving instructor warned me that once I started diving, I wouldn't be able to stop. He was right. Today and tomorrow I'll be working on my Advanced Diving certification. I was blown away by the visibility of the water and fauna of the Gilis!

If you ever dreamed of an idyllic tropical island, you were most likely dreaming of the Gili islands. Gili Trawangan is the "biggest" of the 3 Gilis, and you can walk around it in less than 2 hours. The island is well known for diving, beautiful beaches, and partying. I plan to do all of those things.

When we think of traveling we think of vacations and relax. However, things are a bit different with long term traveling. All the constant planning, walking, (un)packing, and moving from hostel to hostel can get exhausting. That's why days like these are almost mandatory. Just sit by the pool, read a book, or listen to some music. Tomorrow will be a new day for exploring.

Busy day! Today I visited most of Ubud's highlights: 2 temples, 3 waterfalls, and the rice terraces. To celebrate the productive day, I had a 1h full body Balinese massage (for around $6!).

Monkeys are always fun to look at 🐒, and you'll see lots of them at the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. In the afternoon I practiced my haggling skills at the Ubud Street Market.

Today was a very long day. I woke up at 2am to hike for 2 hours to the top of Mount Batur for sunrise. Unfortunately it was quite cloudy, but once it cleared up the view was astonishing. In the evening I went to a traditional Balinese dance show, "Legong", which was definitely worth the money. I totally recommend doing it.
