This week on the Sunday ride we cycle from the west coast of Bali to the east coast of Lombok
at 371 kilometers. We explore the tropical islands both on land and in the sea and we
also visit the miniature island of Kiliti. So sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Hello Bali. Oh insanely happy to be here and already the difference with Java is
incredibly big especially in terms of traffic. We're cycling on a pretty much empty road.
The car here and there passing but compared to Java a completely different world.
And I've never been here but Bali is widely known to be basically a heaven on earth. So
it's going to be a bit of a balance between relaxing,
resting and also a bit of cycling and exploring. But anyways I can't wait.
So we're back on the saddle after having spent an incredible day yesterday in Lovina.
Swimming with dolphins is truly something special. And also the waterfalls were amazing
with some nice cliff jumps as well. And now we're continuing our way down south in Bali
crossing central Bali. And that means we're going to climb from sea level up to 1400 meters
of elevation. And combined with the heat it's going to be a challenging start.
For the past couple of days we've been exploring beautiful Bali with all its waterfalls, rice fields
and temples. We really really enjoyed it. Unfortunately Boy got sick a couple of days ago.
Really sick actually. So he had to spend a few days in bed and that was very unfortunate.
Luckily he is feeling better right now so we're able to get back on the road.
And so we do towards Denpasar. We're gonna go to the bike shop because I'm having some parts
replaced such as the cassette. After almost 19 000 kilometers it is about time. But not only that
it's still one of the last cheapest places where you can do it before the real expensive
countries start such as Australia.
Good morning from Lombok. The fifth Indonesian island that we're visiting already.
We also really enjoyed our time on Kiliti. Lovely small island without any traffic. No
motorized vehicles are allowed. Only horses and bicycles. So it's the perfect place to relax,
enjoy the beach, enjoy the crystal clear waters, the sea life. Really amazing. And
this morning we moved on. We took a boat to Lombok and we're cycling from west to east
along the northern coast. And after two days of cycling we've crossed Lombok from west to east.
We've had a great time. We've had a beautiful camp spot on the beach
and visited two stunning waterfalls. But right now it's time for our next adventure. So we're
taking the ferry and off we go to our next island, Zimbabwe. Next week we are cycling through the
next island on the list, Zimbabwe. Here i get the chance to meet the most beautiful sea creatures
on earth. And we also visit the beautiful komodo islands by boat. But that's it for this week
and i'll see you in the next one. Hi there, thank you for watching this video up until the end. And
