It was a surprise. I just came home from work in different town called Denpasar for about a month. I have not seen my son for a month.Then when I came home, I picked up my son from school. I was waiting for him outside the school.

Gondol Hill at a distance

Running toward the water

Not really excited about this day on the beach, but eager to fulfill our promise to the kids for a trip to North Bali, I endured the heat and arrived at Gondol Beach. It surprisingly resembled my visit three years ago during the quieter times of the Covid-19 outbreak. A new pavement along the shore allowed people to stroll and appreciate the beauty of Gondol Hill and the distant hills.

The kids, and my wife eagerly plunged into the cool, clear water, enjoying the refreshing escape from the heat. We spent about half an hour playing in the water while savoring the beautiful view and the cool atmosphere around the beach.

After our water adventure, we explored more of the beach by walking along the pavement. We observed boats parked by the beach, likely belonging to fishermen who would set out in the evening for their catch. Further along, we noticed structures on the water, presumably fish farms.

Continuing our walk, we observed volcanic rocks nearby until we reached the edge of the pavement after about 15 minutes. Beyond that point, volcanic rocks made it challenging to proceed, but we managed to get closer to Gondol Hill.

Deciding to head back, we gathered the kids, including my daughter who preferred sitting by the beach all the time during our visit and looking at her phone. She did not join getting into the water because according to her "it's too hot."

hmmm, looking into her phone!

After purchasing the tickets for 20,000 Rupiah each, my clients and I walked along the road to the ticket checkpoint. We then continued through narrow paths, encountering souvenir stalls and small cafes selling coffee or refreshing drinks—ideal for those who have just returned from the waterfall.

There are approximately 300 steps leading down to the river where the waterfall is situated. The climb back up involves the same 300 steps, and understandably, people may feel fatigued and thirsty during the ascent.

We walked past all the shops until we arrived at the end of the road. From there, we could see the waterfall in the distance, nestled down in the river. It was already a beautiful view from this vantage point. However, to get closer to the waterfall, we had to descend the 300 steps and admire the waterfall from there.

There were already many people down at the waterfall, so there was no reason to linger at this viewpoint. So, we decided to go down to the waterfall.
Along the steps, there were plenty of things to see and do. For example, there were spots to take photos and other viewpoints offering unique perspectives.

As we walked down the steps, I noticed a large restaurant or day club situated beyond the waterfall, overlooking the stunning view. It featured a swimming pool, providing visitors the opportunity to relax and order drinks from the restaurant's bar while enjoying the picturesque scenery of the waterfall.

We just continued our walk through the stairs, arriving on a path by the river. It was an easy walk because the path is concrete. What surprised me was that there was an ice cream shop just by the river. My clients offered to buy ice cream, but I politely refused the offer, jokingly saying I was already sweet.

Would you like one?

Not my ice cream.

Then, we walked along the river, getting closer to the waterfall. We saw people playing in the water, taking photos, walking, and enjoying the panorama.

Some individuals ventured into the water to get closer to the waterfall, while others stayed on the side, taking photos with the waterfall as a scenic backdrop.

A spider also enjoyed the view of the waterfall, I guess.

There was another set of stairs leading to the top of the waterfall, on the other side of the river, offering a different viewpoint for taking photos. However, my clients and I decided not to go up the stairs, as we felt that capturing photos from our current vantage point was sufficient.

The climb back up presented a challenge due to exhaustion and the heat on this very bright day. Despite the physical effort, the heat, and the challenging climb, we found our visit to be worthwhile. The bright day and the beautiful waterfall made our walk worth it.

The path back

I only play on the death goddess, Malissus, card. Few months ago or so, I played different kind of card decks, but then since I did not have budget to buy many cards (good cards), then I only focus on Malissus card. In fact, I did not spent a dime playing this game.

Every time, I reached a new game level, the game gifted me with a deck of cards. Mostly I got common, and rare cards. Sometimes, epic cards. Every 25 level raise, I got legendary cards.

At the time I wrote this post, I have reached level 407.

The cards that I got from the game prize were mostly cards of plain quality. I need to "forge" those cards before I could sell them in market. Usually I trade some of the cards to obtain better quality cards. So far I have managed to get decent cards to play, although I can only max my level to level 8 in term of difficulty level.

My cards deck only have win rate of 48.9%. I know I can tweak it further, but it means that I have to remove my cheap diamond cards. So, I'll keep it just like that because I don't want to loose the diamond cards as it earns me more fragment to get gods token.

Starting from this post, I will post my game using this death cards deck. And here is my last game. I think I made few terrible mistakes in this game, but I won because my opponent also made mistake. Thanks for reading.

Thanks for watching.

I started the trip in the morning with my clients. We went 2 hour drive to Jatiluwih village. When we arrived there, they went to cycling trip with some local company. I used my time to make this video.

It was in the middle of rice fields, in a small pavilion where I record the video. Later I went for a walk along the road in the rice fields. There are few other clips that I took during the trip as well.
