“Villa Rosebud: Meeting the Kindest Person”
Villa Rosebud: Meeting the Kindest Person on the Worst Day 1. Losing Our Passports Before going to Villa Rosebud, we visited Kelingking Beach. The deep blue ocean and steep cliffs were absolutely breathtaking. The scenery was even more beautiful than a phone wallpaper—so beautiful that it was impossible to forget. But today, we had no mood to look back on yesterday’s beautiful scenery. Even though only a few hours had passed since the accident. We lost our passports!!! At noon, we excitedly left Pantai Sanur and headed toward Villa Rosebud. We had contacted our host in advance and received the address of the villa. Sitting on the bus, we were already imagining what the villa would look like and looking forward to the beautiful time we were about to have there. But that excitement was shattered very quickly. While changing buses, we lost the backpack we were carrying with us. Inside were almost all of our most important belongings: All our cash, two passports, a Visa card, and a tablet. The moment we realized what had happened, I could see the panic in my partner’s eyes. She hurried off the bus and immediately took a taxi back to the transfer point. But even though less than 40 minutes had passed, the place was already completely empty. We asked people nearby. We asked passing Grab drivers. We went to the police station to report the loss. We even followed the bus driver back to their headquarters to ask whether anyone had found our bag. But again and again, our hope disappeared. Our hearts sank to the bottom. After hours of running around, we finally arrived at Villa Rosebud after 10 p.m. At that moment, I thought the trip we had been looking forward to had been completely ruined. But later, I realized— Sometimes a misfortune can turn into a blessing. Because on that very day, we met someone we had never met before. A kind, beautiful, and incredibly warm Irish lady. 🇮🇪 2.
