Mount Batur and surfing in Bali

Climbing up Mount Batur and surfing were the highlights for the whole trip in Bali.We decided to climb Mount Batur when we arrived Kintamani. It was not in our plan.We were so in love with the amazing view of Kintamani and Mount Batur. Despite my painful and swollen right knee, I couldn't resist to climb that mountain. We got up at 3 o'clock in the morning and start to climb the volcano at 4 o'clock.Reached the peak after 2 hours of climb. The climb to the mountain was pretty easy. However, to climb down from the mountain was a suffering process.Painful yet satisfying.Anyway I made it!!

Bali is world renown place for surfing.Audrey(my best buddy) gave me the courage to learn surfing and told me to go to the same surfing school that she went before. Unfortunately, I went to the wrong surfing school. I've to confess that I forgot the name of the school.We went to another school called Big Kahuna-Hawaian Style Surf School. It said "guarantee can stand" for first 2 hours lesson. hehehe... I stood up maybe 2 to 3 times on the surf board, failed to stand most of the time. hehehe...glad that I made it also.
