Just some miscellaneous Bali instagrams to round off my set of Bali posts. I flew out the day before Nyepi, as I’ve stayed in Bali for Nyepi in the past, so I didn’t see the ogoh-ogoh parades and needed to get back to Australia to try to rest for a couple of days before going back to work, but we did see some of the preparations, including a street party outside a local temple one night.

And there’s also a couple of very short videos of the dancing and gamelan.

And now some more miscellaneous Bali photos:

And that’s it from my post-holiday Bali blogging. I’m wishing and hoping that I can go on a trip overseas again soon! I’m still sad that backpacking though India/Nepal seems out of the question for a while now, which was what I had planned for this year, but maybe I can manage somewhere easier like Japan once I am more recovered (fingers crossed) and less broke (fingers crossed).
