Bali – Day 4

Bali – Day 4


Today we went straight to Amed for our next two dives at two nice steep faces.

Guess what it is…

… a slug (about 2cm in size)

In comparison look at the size of that thing.

Can you see it?

There is a small see horse (about 1cm in size) dead center of the picture.

Our dive spot in Amed.

After diving, on the way to our next hotel, we did a small detour to an old balinesian water palace. Really nice.

When leaving the hotel for a short walk (mainly looking for an ATM) by chance we walked into a strange balinesian ceremony at a temple nearby.

We were told they are preparing for Nyepi the balinesian New Year, which is going to be next Tuesday while we’re on Java (because no one is allowed to leave his house on this day, not even tourists, so we are escaping to Java).

Two more dives coming up tomorrow (hopefully with turtles and sharks 😉 ).Tthe day after that we are going to head for manta point to dive with some manta rays 🙂

Bali – Day 3


Today we did two more dives–one at the wrack of US Liberty and the other one at a steep face–and finally had some leisure time we used to walk around town (which is really small) and do some relaxing…

Tomorrow we’re heading for our next diving location at Amed a bit to the south.

Bali – Day 1


Just arrived at Bali. We’re both really tired after a long long trip (> 20h). The weather here is quite hot-like 35C-and humid, which both hit us like a wall when leaving the airport.

Here are just some quick impression from the hotel…

…and a nice sunset at the beach with some rain coming up.

Tomorrow I’m going to try my luck with my new UW Camera. 🙂

South Africa – Day 20

South Africa – Day 20


Today was our final day. Since we had to leave our hotel at around noon for the airport we decided to go for the castle of good hope and town hall today since they are pretty close to our hotel (about 20min by foot).
