Flight delays and mainly cancellations have been rampant in Bali as the airport has shutdown and reopened a number of times since Lombok’s Mt. Barujari (Rinjani) rudely started spewing ash in our direction.

What could possibly be so bad about this?

Stuck in paradise where the juices are fresh AF.

Even though flights onwards to Australia have been showing some movement since Wednesday night, there are still loads of backlogged travelers stranded on the Island of the Gods, waiting for their flights to be rescheduled. 

 

Can’t complain #stuckinbali #legian

Can’t complain. And why should she?

Though let’s be real. These posts are totally kind of like a humble brag (as most things on Instagram are), where people just want to show-off how good they’ve got it.

Seriously, the #humblebrag.

But we definitely get it. When life gives you lemons, bust out the tequila and salt sort of thing (or just grab a Bintang and bring it to the pool).

 

I guess it could be worse. #stuckinbali #stranded #thebalibible #seminyak
