It was about 5am in the morning and we had been climbing for several hours in the dark. We were on our way up the side of Gunung Batur, one of Bali’s active volcanos, when the sun peaked over the horizon to give us this stunning sunrise view of Gunung Rinjani on the island of Lombok.
Six months ago, we decided to work diligently on our blog. It has been an amazing experience writing daily posts and it has made us reflect on our past travels. In a few short weeks, we will be making new memories, but for now we would like to share some of our Favorite things that we have encountered in our travels. We were brainstorming about moments that have stood out over the years and here is our list of Favorites from abroad.
We had come to Bali for many things however and climbing a volcano was one of them, so I wasn’t about to admit that I was chickening out. As it turns out, Gunung Batur is not a frightening lava flowing volcano at all. Yes, it is an active volcano, but you won’t see any lava fields flowing by as you walk up the trail and you won’t have to worry or fear that you may tumble into molten lava. I really should have done my research before we climbed and I would have known this. Instead I lay awake all night fretting and waiting for our 2:00 am wake up call.
