Bali, Indonesia: Landscapes, Lewaks and Lovina Beach

18 February 202222 September 2024

_DSC1566

Another beautiful day in Bali and I was meeting up with my friend Wayan and his family to hike Sekumpul Waterfalls.  The weather was calling for rain showers, so we decided to leave the house early to miss as much of the rain as possible.  We entered the park and paid our admission in preparation for the hour-long hike to the base of its falls.

47_DSC1558

Making our descent down the switchbacks, we noticed the magnificent view of the rice terraces opposite the trail.  Situated on the side of the hill, the layered crops grew among the staggered rows of palm trees.  Our hike took us further into the depths of the valley as a fog began to blanket our path.  Soon we could hear the faint sound of the magnificent waterfalls in the distance.

_DSC1567

About halfway into the hike, a small detour led us to a café for a moment of rest and refreshments.  Along the path I noticed a sign for Kopi Luwak coffee and I was curious to try Bali’s famous coffee.  The island’s exotic coffee is unique in that it requires the assistance of the cute little luwak for processing.

42_DSC1586

The luwak, also known as the Asian palm civet, is a cute little cat-like animal from Indonesia that loves to eat coffee beans.  The food passes through its digestive system and the partially digested remains are collected to complete the coffee making process.  According to the Balinese, the combination of fermentation and chemicals from the luwak’s digestion is what gives the coffee its unique flavor.  It is the most expensive coffee in the world where in the United States one can expect to pay $100 to $600 per pound.  A cup of the Kopi Luwak was only $5 US at this cute little cafe.

44 130104, A Waterfall worth the hike

Piping hot, I sipped on the Kopi Luwak with a little cream and sugar.  I really liked the smooth taste and enjoyed that it was prepared perfectly and not at all bitter.  After our coffee break, we gathered our belongings and continued our trek down the steep slope.  The path led to the river below which we needed to cross over to reach the bottom of the falls.  With the water reaching up to our knees, we carefully managed to find our foothold on the slippery rocks and made our way to the other side.

The sound of the falls grew louder and soon we could see the water crashing down upon the rocks.  The children giggled as the thick mist tickled their faces and drenched their clothes.  There was a small pool where we took a moment to swim beneath the falls and enjoyed the roaring sound of the water tumbling down the cliffs.

45_DSC1553

Already wet, a torrential rain moved in, taking  us by surprise.  We needed to begin making the journey back to our car before the water began to rise.  Giving one last look towards the waterfall, we were overwhelmed by the surreal view in which the falls seemed to appear out of nowhere.  This moment was worth every challenging step of our hike.

50_DSC1604

The rain did not let up and there was some flooding on the streets as we drove back to the hotel.  Saying goodbye to Wayan and his family, I checked into the Lovina Water Garden Hotel and waited out the storm before taking a stroll around the property.  I moved hotels to be closer to the little town of Lovina Beach with its row of restaurants and shops.  It remained overcast but it was a beautiful part of Bali that was not crowded and overrun with tourists.

51_DSC1617

I took an afternoon walk to the beach, watching the locals pass by on their mopeds, sometimes three or four on one bike.  Vendors were selling beautiful coral necklaces and children were playing in the streets.

I arrived at the beach where I noticed a tall, worn monument where people were congregating on its steps.    The column in the center displayed a large dolphin at the top while there were four dolphins that surrounded the base of the pedestal. Lovina Beach is known for its large pods of dolphins and cruises transport passengers in the early morning and evenings to watch them frolicking around the sea.

52_DSC1618

Taking a closer look at the sculpture, it seemed as though the salt air had taken its toll on these figures.  I wondered how long these dolphins had been standing here gazing out into the ocean.  I thought about all of the people that had passed by the beach or sat at the base of its pedestal.

I thoroughly enjoyed the laid-back, charming beach town of Lovina and preferred it to the late-night crowds of Kuta.  I wished I could have spent more time in this area, but tomorrow we will be leaving for Kuta for a couple of days before flying back to the states.  What I love most about the north end of Bali is the solitude and natural beauty that inspires me to explore the world less traveled.

Has there been a country that has inspired you to veer off the beaten path?  One that has led you to explore parts of the country that you might have otherwise missed?  I would love to hear about it!  Let me know by leaving your experience in the comments section below.  Many thanks for reading about my Bali adventure!  Happy Travels!

Cataract Falls, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee

25 September 202022 September 2024

All Nolan could talk about was our hike to Laurel Falls, so we decided to take the short walk to Cataract Falls the next day as it was listed as a perfect hike for small children.  He had been so excited to explore the outdoors, so with his walking stick, Nolan led the way on the 3/4 mile roundtrip trail toward the falls.

The pathway was started out paved and shortly turned to stone with a bridge built over the Fighting Creek.  Nolan loved having his photos taken, so we pointed out scenic spots for him to pose.

The floor covering was a beautiful green with plants and ivy.  Thick trees provided shade from the sun bringing the temperature down a few degrees.

The trail goes under a bridge with stones on each side and is on average, four feet wide with a gentle grade.   We had the trail all to ourselves and we reached the falls fairly quickly.

A few feet away from the bridge we could hear the falls.  Nolan’s face lit up when he realized he was hearing the rushing of the water and started running down the path.

Once the newness of the falls wore off, Nolan was more than excited to play at the base of them.

Within minutes, Nolan was calling us over to show us the snail that he had found.

It was difficult to leave, seeing how excited Nolan was for the hike, the waterfalls and little creatures, but it was close to dinnertime and promising him we would be going to visit Margaritaville, you would have thought he would have sprinted back to the start of the hike.  I guess that little guy was hungry.

Have you hiked the Cataract Falls?  What was your experience?  I would love to hear from you if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below.  Many thanks for reading about my visit to Cataract Falls and wishing you many Happy Travels!

Grand Tetons: Mormon Row, Snake River and Jackson Hole

12 February 202020 September 2024

1-dsc_0075

Heading north towards the Snake River Overlook, I had several places I wanted to visit along the way, starting with the Chapel of the Transfiguration.  This small church, sitting at the base of the Grand Tetons, draws visitors with its beautiful views.  From the window behind the altar, a picturesque scene provides an unobstructed panorama of the Grand Tetons.   I imagine I would have been distracted by this picturesque scene while attending church here, but then again, it would always be a reminder of God’s beautiful creation.

2-dsc_0078a

Located in the park’s Moose area, the Chapel of the Transfiguration is an Episcopal Church located just inside of the South Entrance.  Erected in 1925, this congregation an active community providing services for both Episcopalians as well as Eucharists during the summer season.

3-dsc_0079a

Traveling north, I found a short detour that led me to Mormon Row.  During the summer months, this area is one of the best places to see bison and small herds of pronghorn antelope.   It is the perfect backdrop for photographing the farm structures that were once home to Mormon settlers in the early 1900s.

5-dsc_0080

At the last minute, I decided to take the one-mile gravel road to Lower Schwabacher Landing, once used as a starting point for rafting trips.  Here, artists once painted some of the most familiar sites of the Teton Range and remains a perfect picnic spot to enjoy the view of the peaks.

6-dsc_0085

I finally reached my afternoon destination. Made famous by world-renowned,  photographer, Ansel Adams, the view of Snake River is spectacular.  I can clearly see why  photographing the overlook has become an obsession for photographers.   I spent a few moments imagining myself as an early explorer, witnessing this view for the first time, but needed to start making my way towards Rendevous Mountain at Jackson Hole.

7-dsc_0092

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is more popular with skiers during the wintertime, but during the summer a gondola ride up to Rendezvous Mountain is irresistible. The Bridger Gondola provides breathtaking views of the resort below taking only 9 minutes to reach a climb of over 9,000 feet.

8-dsc_0100

The gentle hum of the gondola is therapeutic as the climb continues upwards affording unobstructed sights of Teton Village below.  Open only from 4:30PM to 9PM during off-season hours, there is a snack shop and restaurant for taking in the views.    It is a perfect time to reflect on all that I experienced here in Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone.  I am already looking forward to a future visit where I have promised myself to hike more, explore more and make it another trip to remember.

What are some of your most memorable visits to Grand Teton?  What would you add to your itinerary on your next visit?  I would love to hear about your adventure if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below!  Many thanks for reading about my adventure to Grand Tetons National Park!  Wishing you many Happy Travels!

And the Drive In Between: East Coast Driving (Massachusetts)

29 December 201716 September 2024

When my friend Dave asked me to join him on a trip to his childhood home, I was so excited to meet his family and to see where he had grown up outside of Boston. Our first day, we would hang out in Boston and Salem and then we had also made plans for a trip to Portland, Maine to meet up with his childhood friend, Alan.

We arrived early in the morning, loaded up the rental car and began our journey heading north.  The scenic coastline was dotted with historical buildings, beautifully built of stone and brick.  Reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting, we stopped on several occasions to take photographs and enjoy the scenery.

Stained glass windows, colorful siding and delicate roof tiles added so much character to our drive.  We played a game trying to guess the year in which each year they had been built based on their architecture.  From churches and chapels, we were completely entertained and amusing ourselves over the next couple of hours.

The further north we drove, the natural beauty of the coastal rock formations popped up along the Atlantic.  The occasional inlet would appear filled with yachts and sailboats and I wished we had more time to hang out or at least stop for lunch, but we decided that we would stop at Kelly’s Roast Beef in Saugus for their infamous roast beef and lobster rolls and I couldn’t wait.

I loved seeing all of the old signs in Saugus, like the Hilltop Steakhouse which had been opened by local businessman, Frank Giuffrida in 1961.  The restaurant was a popular spot from the 60s through the 90s expanding to 1500 seats.  I learned that it had recently closed and thought of all of the patrons the restaurant must have served over the years.  It also made me think of how hungry I was and couldn’t wait to order some lobster….are we close to Kelly’s?

It was such a great day driving the coast.  Do you enjoy road trips?  What is your favorite activity when you travel?  I would love to hear about your travels if you would kindly leave a message in the comments section below. Thank you for reading about my drive around the NE coast and wishing you many Happy Travels!

Mykonos, Greece: Whitewashed and Wild

4 August 201716 October 2024

Jacquelyn Kennedy Onassis put Mykonos on the map when she vacationed here in the 1960s (imagine big black sunglasses, miniskirts and go-go boots).  A popular cruise ship port, this island has a reputation of having a free-spirit and party atmosphere.

130904, D6 Boat in the Cove of Mykonos

Mykonos’ iconic whitewashed buildings and colorful blue roofs can be seen from miles away.   The island is considered one of the Greek Cyclades and measures 7 by 10 miles.  The main town of Mykonos is called Chora or Hora, translated as “The Village” and is also referred to as the “Old Port”.

130904, D6 Greek Orthodox Church in Mykonos Town

We were tendered in from where the cruise ship was anchored where small fishing boats occupy the harbor.  A small Greek Orthodox church, which had been converted into a ticket kiosk, was where I purchased my ferry ticket to the island of Delos.

130904, D6 Beautiful White Church in Mykonos

With a couple of hours to explore Mykonos before catching the ferry, I began my adventure looking for “Little Venice”, a popular village neighborhood that mimics the Italian city with the same name.  Along my route, I passed the most photographed church on the island, the Church of Panagia Parapotiani.  The whitewashed stucco walls and the sky blue rooftops of the church are the perfect representation of Greece’s iconic Cycladic architecture.

130904, D6 Close up Windmill

I knew I had arrived when I could see the symbolic windmills on the ridge of Kato Myloi.  Built in the 12th and 13th centuries, the purpose of the these cylindrical stone structures was to grind the grain for their bread.  At one point, there were over 600 mills throughout the islands of the Cyclades.  Today, a total of five still remain on the western side of the island and one, the Boni Myli windmill, is open to visitors.

D6 Mykonos' Little Venice

Mikri Venetia, more commonly known as “Little Venice” is also set along the coast on the western side of the island, within sight of the windmills.  Considered one of the most romantic locations in Mykonos, its charming quarter overlooks the bay.  Offering elegant restaurants and a scenic backdrop to include spectacular views of the Aegean Sea, it is the perfect location for enjoying the evening sunset.

D6 Mykonos Town Shopping

I became easily lost among the winding streets of Mykonos.  The beautiful chaos of cobblestones led me through narrow passages lined with charming shops and cafes.  I enjoyed the white and blue storefronts with the bougainvillea flowers flowing down from  overhead.  I eventually referred to my map to lead me back to the harbor where I would catch the ferry to Delos.

D6 Mykonos Town Waterfront

Soon, I found myself back at the cove mesmerized by the deep blue shades of the Mediterranean Sea.  A stretch of restaurants lined the beaches and tourists were strolling in to take a seat on the patios to place their order for food and drink.   With the ferry terminal in view, I placed an order for tzatziki and pita bread to compliment the Alfa, a local Greek beer.

D6 Little Black Cat, Mykonos

I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the island’s most famous resident, Petros, but the local pelican had not appeared.   Instead, I watched the cats as they crowded near the fishing boats, waiting for scraps of fish.   I studied them, lazing in the sun with their bellies full and couldn’t help but wonder if they knew how lucky they were to live on the spectacular island of Mykonos.

Have you had the opportunity to visit Mykonos?  What did you do while you were there?  I would love to hear about your adventure and thoughts of this fabulous Greek island if you would kindly leave a comment below!  Many Thanks and Happy Travels!
