In Bali, you don't have to go to the market to get fresh fruit - just take a walk. My personal favourite is fresh coconut 🥥, which you can get almost anywhere - admittedly, it's cheaper in some places and more expensive in others, but the taste is heavenly! Lychees are rarer, a real treasure, but once I come across them, I can't say no. Mangoes 🥭 and melons 🍉 are available almost everywhere, both perfect on the beach after a hot day. And best of all, in many places you can get them on a tray, mixed with passion fruit, pineapple, and dragon fruit.
And if you walk in the right place, you'll suddenly see a coffee bush by the roadside. At first, you won't recognise it: small red fruits on a bush. But once you know what you're looking at, you'll immediately realise. Because it's not every day you see something that elsewhere is only used for your morning caffeine fix.
What is rare, expensive, and imported from far away for us is simply part of life here. And that's the beauty of it.
It reminds us that what is a luxury for us is part of life elsewhere. And vice versa.
BaliBreatheaway offers you the opportunity to start noticing these small, easily overlooked wonders again. Even if it's just for the power of a single fresh coconut.
