ice cream is a daily ritual. at $1, you can’t pass it up. Shin-san and Ambo-san digging in first.

my favorite is the pistachio chip ice cream in a waffle cone. back home in hawaii, this will cost you $5 so i never eat it. but here, it’s a fraction of the price and tastes the same. can’t wait to eat another one.

we rented a car for the past 2 days and that turned out to be the best decision ever! both days, we scored our best sessions. here is a surf spot where kids come out and carry your board for you. even when we get out of the water, the kids run down and grab your board. just like how old indonesia use to be. give them a dollar and their happy. smart kids that will become rich someday!

going to other countries and taking the best local guide is the best way to enjoy the best of the best moment. i surely learned a lot about hard work and local knowledge on this trip.

we surfed everyday until the sun set, and the moon rose. it was so beautiful.
