You finish the night at the beach bar. And Monday you sleep.
FOOD ? Breakfast @ Crates, Bio and healthy @ Bali Budha or Beetlenut café. Burgers @ Matador. Ice cream @ The creamery But actually the Warungs are the best.
Sunset @ The Lawn and Old man is your base. The surf is better there but Echo beach is nice too.
You need a scooter or you won’t move or die trying to walk.
Yeah, so this is what everyone who has been hanging around in Canggu for a while can tell you. It’s the base. But Canggu is much more than that, than just spots where everybody goes. At least for me ! Canggu was not only about being a social bee and surfing. Not only this cliché of the “ surfer “ walking around with the board, acting cool, but never getting into the water. Or these gorgeous tall edgy looking girl perfecting their make up in the bathrooms. There is a real base of art and creativity behind it ! The people actually living there and not just passing by, expats and Indonesians ( no one was really born in Canggu anyway, they kind of all ended up there ). I feel really lucky to have been able to meet some of them and to hang out a little with them. Some of them I can call friends now, they will be there if I have a problems and I will be there too. We had a little family. I had the illusion for a while that I was a part of this artsy ( fucked up) world but let’s face it I’m just passing by. I will come back though. I will settle down out there someday somehow. Things happen in Canggu, good and bad, and this is what made me feel alive. Even if i didn’t see all the temples and waterfall from the island. I felt the “ vibe” and I will never forget who I was there. I had a few accident, hurt my head, my legs, my shoulder. Lost my bank card. And still have a flight problems but oh i was alive and I think Happy.
I will be forever thankful to the yard crew for my time there. Thank’s guys ( if one of you read this one day. I hope not hahaha ).
ps : internet is not good enough for photo’s again ...
