Long weekend at BINGIN BEACH

 “Long weekend, Gosh what am i gonna do?” my mind keep thinking,

I should have had so much excitement since I move to Sanur taking in to consideration I love being in the beach. I spent hours and hours driving down from Ubud to be in the beach before I moved. But the excitement of moving closer to the beach and office was not really there.

I loved living in Ubud and and two hours motorbike riding back and forth everyday to the office seemed bearable for me as fresh air, tranquility and its vibe were enough to pay all the tiredness of riding. But for reasons that I couldn`t share here I have no choice but moving out. I was debating in my heart for several weeks either staying, look for another house in Ubud, or just move closer to the place I work.

Then here I am, trying to feel something about Sanur, trying to get the feeling that I really live here, trying to look places where my heart feel the beat, trying to look road and path where my feet could stop and just standing there for a while, trying to search amazing person who inspired me and gave me more strength to live just like I found in Ubud. None, I found nothing. Perhaps I didn’t give myself enough time. But come on, a month should be enough to feel better about a new place. I was this easy going, flexible, and adaptable girl. But this time, I simply have a hard time.

There must be reasons; perhaps, I am harder to please now, or I am having this hormone changing that everything just falls wrong. People said at age 30s you would become a different one. It might be true in my case.

Back to the first question, long weekend what am I gonna do?

I used to trick my mind by having some fun with friends from work. But I guess this time; I simply need time for myself.

I packed my back pack though I had no idea where I headed. I packed cloths, foods, creams for a day or two and off I went. I rode my bike to the south and just followed my feeling where I wanted to go and ended up parked my bike at Bingin Beach.

It is a surf camp in between dreamland beach and impossible beach. The only thing I can do there is sunbathing and swimming as I don’t surf and I don’t have snorkeling gear. But what the heck, I am coming here to skip my ordinary life in Sanur. A 70.000 IDR basic room seems ok. But the price for food is overpriced. I am glad I packed some fruits and foods from home that I don’t have to spend heaps of money for ordinary taste of food.

I was equipped with a KOBO reader where I keep hundreds of e books. I made myself promise to finish one or two during my stay which I finally do J

I wished some thoughts come to my mind to make me feel better, but still, no thoughts no inspirations no achievements. I didn’t even do proper yoga or meditation during my stay. To be honest, I don’t know what to feel. But one thing I still know, I am a lucky one to have this life now regardless the ups and downs of the life that I have. 

Nunggalan Beach, a new found magic beach

I decided to write separate post for this beach as felt really special about it. It was recommended by a friend when i stated my frustration about beaches in Bali. it either turns to become five star hotel, or massive construction is on going. I long to explore secret and isolated beaches where i can take a nap, peacefully read my book, or just simply doing nothing.

Then i found this gem. Nunggalan beach. It is located just before Nyang Nyang Beach . It is a bit hard to reach the beach as i had to track down for about 30 minutes. But i won`t give up on 60 degrees slopping and slippery path for the sake of finding my peaceful moment. It was cloudy and gloomy day. Sun seems loath to shine, baby rain played with me but you know what, i cared no more. As soon as i reached the beach, barefeet stepped on the sands, touched the cold water with my hands, i felt content already.

Be prepare for this bridge ;)

I took my sarong out, unpacked snacks and water,opened the page of Ajahm Brahm book and started to read it until i finally fallen asleep. I didn`t know how long i slept. But i noticed that the tide was higher than before. a perfect timing to have some dips.  I took off my clothes and let the extremely cold water touch my skin. I found my heart singing for what the beauty offered me. For some times, i played with the wave, sometimes it drifted me, sometimes it was just let me float. i felt cold no more.
i went home with a very big smile for my lovely adventure.

now, it is your turn to find your way to this beach...
