RE: Not Everything is Beautiful: Serious FOMO & Being Roombound
Oh no, Bali Belly is the worst!! I've had my unfortunate run-ins (pun only slightly intended) with the stomach bugs of Bali -- my last one struck just before I was boarding the ferry back from Nusa Lembongan. 🤢Hope you get feeling better soon.
That photo of Agung erupting is stunning. I was there last November when it starting erupting and the airport was shut down for a week... pure chaos for all the poor Aussies stranded their holiday. For me, it was no worries -- there are worse places to be stuck than Bali.
Oh no!!! We were going to head over to Nusa Penida yesterday, lucky I cancelled and we decided to stay in Amed. We had been to Penida before and it's been quite windy so thought we'd explore Amed more, still haven't beeen to the Wreck. Checked out your blog briefly - looking forward to reading more!!!
We came 2 years ago and we got the last flight out before it all shut down. Goodness knows how we'll go this time, but I'm not sure I really mind to be honest!!! Where did you stay whilst waiting for your flight?
Last year I didn't fly out for another month LONG after Agung settled down, so ultimately it was no worries. But two years prior I was grounded for a week when Mount Rinjani on Lombok decided to explode! I was lucky enough to have a friend who lived in Canggu so we were able to sack up at her house whilst waiting for our chance to fly out -- so basically every day was:
2a) if so, go to airport is giant clusterf*ck of mess
2b) if not, go surfing all day and try again tomorrow
It wasn't the worst of times, although my employers at the time may have felt otherwise...
Thats helpful. I guess the airport isnt too far even if we hung in Ubud. But we havent gone to Canggu so maybe will do that. Haha hows me... wishful thinking .. work will kill me lol. Last time lots of kids didnt come back to school coz they were stuck in Bali. I didnt sympathise lol.
