Discovering Denpasar: Best Things to Do on Your First Day in Indonesia

Bali｜Denpasar
Absolutely loving the laid-back atmosphere here.

Woke up at 10 AM
Got ready and headed out to explore

TOMORO COFFEE
Enjoyed a refreshing iced Americano and a warm, flaky croissant for just 25k. Outside the shop, the sky was overcast with thick, dense clouds, hinting at an impending downpour.

City walk
With no particular destination in mind, I picked a random road and started my journey. In this tropical city, the buildings are modest and low, blending seamlessly with the lush greenery that envelops the entire area. Frangipani trees line the streets, their plump, fragrant flowers adding a touch of natural beauty.

As I reached a shop with a large awning,
Large raindrops began to fall sporadically. Soon, the drops became more frequent, forming a curtain of rain that created a soothing pitter-patter sound.

After the rain
The asphalt roads glistened, darker and shinier than before. Scattered dark clouds still lingered in the sky, but gaps between them revealed patches of blue. There’s something captivating about this wet, gloomy yet bright feeling.

On the way back

A cute boy walked ahead, his steps light and cheerful. He occasionally glanced back at me, adding a playful touch to the walk.

Sunset at the crossroads
Every angle offered a different, breathtaking view. The sky painted in hues of orange and pink made for a stunning backdrop.

KFC coffee in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows
A young couple from a nearby hostel shared their joy, sipping coffee and enjoying the moment.

Dinner was a generous 1kg of salak (snake fruit)
After indulging, I even let out a contented burp. I have a tendency to keep eating what I love until I can’t anymore. Guess I won’t be buying salak again anytime soon. ╮(￣▽￣””)╭
