This is one of the scenes during our Jakart- Bali roadtrip early November 2020. We did it in casual way and surely with extra precaution amid the Covid 19 threats. No rush, we just enjoyed the trip at a slower pace, pulling over when both of us start to feel tired or need some coffee and some ciggies. We leave Jakarta at 4 pm, arrive in Semarang around 9 and we prefer to stay overnight in a rest area, sleeping in our car, quite comfortable and quite an experience. We continue the next day around 5 a.m. We then arrive in Banyuwangi at around 7 pm and stay overnight at Ketapang Indah hotel. Banyuwangi is a small town at the eastern tip of Java island, that's the place where you have a ferry crossing get to Bali island.
This scene is when we camp in the hill around Kintamani area in Bali with a vivid view of mount Batur, mount Agung, and another mountain I forgot the name. We arrived around late afternoon after winding up roads to reach the so-called "Kayupadi sunrise camp site". The area is manned by a local kind family who also live there in their own house with two kids whose the elementary school boy also helped the father cleaning up the spot we've chosen. Anyway, the experience is full of scenic view from sunset to sunrise and the clouds that are rising from below, it's like we are staying in a land of clouds, so pretty!
