Sadness

A sadness is catching me, for we are soon to leave a truly great place, where we have gotten so much relaxation and recovery. We are going for awesome things, but still, I’m sad to leave this place so soon. -Petra

The reason

And no, this isn’t meant to be a trip down memory lane with Hoobastank’s song (even though I have a perfectly clear memory of a Sing star competition years and years ago, when the grand finale was with this song). This morning I woke up, feeling rather not so normal, with a headache and just […]

First yoga class

Today we took our first yoga class here in Bali! Also Petri’s first class ever. We decided to take a private class, as the prices are favourable and to ‘ease into’ taking group classes as well. Our teacher took good time to explain about the alignments in many of the basic yoga positions, help us […]

First time washing the dreads

It was quite a task, and one that I was putting of for until the early afternoon before I finally got myself into the shower. When the water first ran through my scalp, it was such a nice feeling. But it quickly became a confusing feeling. Because when the scalp gets wet, that means the […]

Change of Room

As we planned our accommodation a bit last minute, well, more a week in advance. We have ended up having to change room every 6-7 days. Which is ok. We really like the resort we’re currently at, so we’re switching between a few of their locations. Only drawback with our new room is that it’s […]

The guilt of doing nothing

Today I’ve been in a funky mood. My energy have been lower. I haven’t felt like doing anything. And nor have I. We had breakfast. Petri bought some snacks for lunch. We’re gonna have dinner now. And that’s a day spent doing nothing much productive, just hanging a lot on youtube and different websites. I […]
