Balangan

From Padang Bay me and Lula decided to go to Balangan, as our friend Sabine (we met her in Padang Bay) recommended us this place for surfing and for being really nice. Our Swiss friend Samuel (we call him Samko) - one of the diving instructors - joined us for few days. Balangan is a really nice place for surfing even though the coral reef can be a problem - especially for beginners. That is why we always had to wait for the high tide to be able to surf. Balangan is quite far from the civilization, there are just few guest-houses on the beach and no internet (that is why I am writing now so much). Anyway, we borrowed long boards and started to surf on the white water from the big waves. Finally, I managed to STAND UP - YEIIIII.)) I was so happy!!We also borrowed a motorbike and went to the Dreamland beach, which is suppossed to be quite famous (nice, but quite crowded). We wanted to stay there only two nights, but we had such a good time all together - surfing eating drinking etc. - that we stayed 5 days!!All in all: Balangan = highly recommended!
