Wow – my trip to Bali was already over 3 years ago! It was definitely one of the most beautiful trips of my life spent with a special person. Over the years, I’ve gotten many requests regarding our route on Bali & Lombok. This reminded me that I’ve never actually written about it. Time for a little recap and showing you the route.

I hope this little Bali Guide was helpful for you! Please not that we’ve been there three years ago. Therefore, I don’t know if the one or other place is closed or has changed its name.
Ps.: Save for later! Pin it!
Superb pictures and travel! Thanks for sharing ;)

Liebe Náomi,
vielen lieben Dank für die Nachricht. Ich kann dir eine Bali Reise auf jeden Fall sehr empfehlen. Wir haben auch nicht die ganz üblichen Touri-Sports gemacht. Leider hat sich Bali meiner Meinung nach nach dem ganzen “Influencen” etwas verändert. Aber einmal muss man es gesehen haben.
viele Grüße,
Vicky
