3 days ago I decided to leave Ubud to spend Nyeple-day in Amed. Walking in the streets and roads was not allowed on Nyepi, but at least I could swim in the sea. All I needed was a seaside accommodation. Well… forget it, even walking on the beach and swimming is not allowed. The Nyepi-security told me precisely what I could and couldn’t do this day. After 7AM the silent day starts for 24 hours.

I’ve been in my room now since 7.00AM without tv & internet. I haven’t spoken and seen anyone the whole day and the only thing I hear and see is the sea. And the one thing I can say is: I am truely happy at the moment (17.45 )

19:00
But then, the evening fell…and when I turned on the light, someone knocked on my door to tell me to turn it off. Living in the dark seemed to be a part of the Nyepi day as well....frown… this I didn’t like so much, I was glad to have my laptop for some light. I guess the Nyeple-evening is something couples look forward to…babyboom in December!
