Passing through a tough period at work, and unable to travel (or have a weekend break at all) for the short future, I got myself thinking what's the furthest away I've been from home?... and I got here.
Back to an island far far away... or better said, a whole bunch of islands.
Indonesia is a magical country, filled with amazing landscapes, and even more amazing creatures; you're unlikely miss one of the crab-eating macaques that exist throughout the country, and in some places you might even find yourself with a juvenile monkey on top of you before you can even blink.
And you definitely can't miss the temples as well, even if you're like me and you're far more attracted to nature than culture; the sculptures, the statues, the little details and the stories behind them are hard to ignore!
It's also a chance to see ancient practices that are kept up to these days, and still remain a way to make a living to the local population, such as the seaweed farms. It was the first time I saw one, in a long beach, facing a volcano whose tip finally appeared above the clouds.
Kind of apparent that I miss travelling, right? :) Oh well: it is what it is. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made, and leave the travel plans in standby mode. Good thing is, I'll have a ton of excuses next year to compensate for all the travelling I haven't done this year!
And to wrap it up, another of the idillic beaches in Gili Air, one of the three Gili islands, between Bali and Lombok. A quiet setting, crystal clear waters... and an unexpected sculpture with a simple word, that seems to be in lack nowadays; hoping humanity can find more of it, sooner than later!
