drove another 2.5 hours deeper into indonesia. arrived at the most amazing place. i’m up at 4am right now listening to the muslim chanting outside. so cool! indo is one of the most spiritual places in the world.

no matter where i travel to, i’m always up in the dark getting ready for a surf.

checked the waves yesterday morning in front. pretty good but decided to walk down the beach to surf a perfect right. it was only us and one other surfer out all morning. scored!

came back to our beach front resort. such a beautiful green place.

check out my shower room.

pretty cool to have an outdoor shower. wish i had one of these back home.

checked the waves again. still super fun but decided instead to start our next journey to a place twice as far away.

on the way, we made a few stops. walking up the hundred stair temple. such a lovely photo of a couple that has been married for 40 years i still don’t know how Atsuko-san did it. haha.

found some new secret beach breaks. next time i’m here i’ll rent a motorcycle and ride along this long stretch of beach and surf a spot all to myself.

we walked around the sacred hindu temple of a thousand gods.

when ever i’m getting a relaxing massage somewhere, i hear a shutter sound all of a sudden. i look up and see Kimura-san taking a photo with the biggest smile on his face.

i came on this trip to go with the flow. the flow has been super amazing. now i’m at an onsen? yeah, a hot spring! been jumping in it all day yesterday and getting ready to take a plunge right now. why not when you have it right in your room? then going to charter a boat to check out this magical island off the coast. still going with the flow!

Deep in Indonesia!
Loving life!

the most amazing landscapes. something you can just sit and stare all day long. the beauty of indo.

surfers are unique. take this guy for example. surf in the day, and catch dinner in the evening.

using the most simple supplies.

i’ve been coming to bali for the past 23 yeas and this is the first time i came to this side. i don’t know what i was thinking!!!

simple life. just surf and relax. i’ll definitely come back here again.

simple meals. this is nashi champur. cheap and healthy.

omg, i love fresh coconuts!!!

after our amazing surf session, i went to get a massage right on the beach. $8/hour. cheap!

the waves were super fun to surf, and super fun to watch.

Kimura-san ordering the bintangs. making so much noise and talking so much as i was getting my relaxing massage. haha.
