Last week after exams, I ditched my uni books for my bikini,
and headed to Bali for a 6 day pre-winter holiday. Being a skier, it’s not
often that I get the chance to have a summer holiday, so I grasped the
opportunity and soaked up some rays before the winter really kicks off.
I stayed in Seminyak for 6 days with a friend, Julia de
Campo, where we spent copious amounts of time on the beach and in the surf.
The highlight of the holiday was the adventurous day trip to
Lembongan Island, a beautiful tiny island 30 minutes off the coast of Sanua,
Bali. Cruising around on scooters, I managed to find the infamous
turquoise-water cliff jump, recommended by a friend. Jumping off the 12m cliff
was the easy part. The scary part was trying to grab the dodgy ladder in a big
sea swell, and then climbing back up.

Cliche but nevertheless still beautiful

Within 24 hours, I went from being on the beach in a toasty
30 degrees, to getting off the plane in Melbourne at a chilly 6 degrees. I
jumped straight in the car and drove 7 hours solo to Jindabyne, where I am now
spending the next week training on snow.
I’ll be a Buller next weekend, and am really looking forward
to my first Chicks with Stix session of the season on Saturday afternoon.
