Candi Dasa Travel Blogs

Background: The Dutch began to colonize Indonesia in the early 17th century; the islands were occupied by Japan from 1942 to 1945. Indonesia declared its independence after Japan's surrender, but it required four years of intermittent negotiations, recurring hostilities, and UN mediation before the Netherlands agreed to relinquish its colony. Indonesia is the world's largest archipelagic state. Current issues include: alleviating widespread poverty, preventing terrorism, continuing the transition to popularly-elected governments after four decades of authoritarianism, implementing reforms of the banking sector, addressing charges of cronyism and corruption, and holding the military and police accountable for human rights violations. Indonesia has been dealing with armed separatist movements in Aceh and in Papua.

Beautiful Bali Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Candi Dasa
This morning, we drove up to Candi Dasa (about an hour north of Sanur) so Diane could dive and I could hang out at the resort by the pool and ocean. The sun was out and the drive up was very pretty…so lush. It’s funny seeing people walking their pigs on leashes and their herds of ducks, while all the stray dogs run wild. Never in America! We passed rice paddy terraces, which I am obsessed with and think I was a rice farmer in a previous life. Diane was the only one diving today, so on the drive up it [View Full Entry]

Cocktails by the Pool Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Candi Dasa
Cocktails by the Pool Candidasa is an uninspiring sort of place: a long strip of rocky beach where erosion has stripped all vestiges of coral sand away. A series of concrete pontoons are linked by a long-shore barricade to prevent further damage. Out to sea a few tankers are anchored-up, waiting to berth in Amuk Bay. A pair of car ferries pass each other mid-crossing to Nusa Penida, which sits as a grey misty mass on the horizon. Either side of the road a few warungs compete for passing trade. Money changers and internet booths sprout from the pavement at regular [View Full Entry]

Time to Jack it in at Dazzling Candi Dasa “Hit the road, Jack, and don’t you come back no more no more, no more, no more, Hit the road Jack and don’t you come back no more.” Today was transfer day and we made our way cheerfully down to reception to check-out. There were none of the tears of regret we saw when we left DeWankara last year, no “Come back soon” but just a stamping of bills and a curt “Your driver has your baggage.” We’ll be back in a week for another 9 days worth of Sanitized Beach. Will [View Full Entry]

Tears of Joy under a Full Moon At 4pm prompt an elegantly dressed gentleman in full Balinese dress appeared in the Foyer. He led us to a quiet spot in one of the restaurants and proceeded to dress us both so that we would blend in with other worshippers at the full moon ceremony. Then we were whisked away to a village near Ubud whilst our host explained at great length what the Full Moon ceremony was about and about the significance of the three temples in every family compound and every village. We stopped at a Shiva temple in a [View Full Entry]

Bike Bali Baik!  Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Candi Dasa
Bike Bali Baik! An early morning call saw us sitting nervously in the lobby waiting for an 0700 pick-up to go biking. We joined an Aussie couple who had boarded near Kuta and then picked up a Dutch couple in Ubud before rattling off to Kintamani for breakfast. By the time we got to our bikes we had also picked up a great trio of Americans and another couple. Everyone managed to find a bike that fitted. All had brakes, some even had gears that changed :o) And so we headed off, gingerly at first, later hurtling recklessly downhill. Now at [View Full Entry]

Day 9: Balinese Hangovers & The Balian’s Cure Dawn arose with pain and discomfort. Classic hangover amidst tropic humidity: weighty, dank and stale with arak and puke on the breath. At the breakfast I chose not to attend, stories were told. A group of yogis walked into Monkey Forest at 2AM and chanted the Gyatri Mantra for one hour. Others swam nude in the pool, lounged in a room, and then sobered each other with their words. I kept my secrets to myself and left the unspoken for the balian. A balian is a traditional Balinese healer. Typical [View Full Entry]

Hidden Beach Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Candi Dasa
as not many tourists yet discovered or explored the beaches in Bali, I was finally able to do so.. The beach view is spectacular as not at all yet developed. It's so laidback! Tourists visiting the beach can be counted. No fancy restaurants, the only thing is a small warung (small restaurants). The beach is great for snorkling. It's beautiful beach! The beach is located on the east part of Bali toward candidasa further 5 more kilometer toward east in the village called perasi. The beach itsself called "pasir putih" beach [View Full Entry]

im still alive Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Candi Dasa
So i have moved on from the awesomeness that is Ubud. In a beach area on the east coast called candi dasa. its dead. but yesterday i did go snorkling and, i have never done so, nor did i realize how not lame it is! i compared it to diving, so i thought that you could not really get a cool experiance out of it, with just your head on the surface. Crystal clear water...and NEON fish!! i wish i had an underwater camera but, i do not. I leave here tomorro morning, to Lovina, for a few days till im [View Full Entry]

So for our final 10 days it was off to Candi Dasa, a small village on the East coast of Bali. We had booked ahead after it was so busy in Ubud but actually changed places once we had looked around the village and found somewhere that was right by the sea, had better facilities and was cheaper!! We hadn't really planned on doing too much during our time here but lie in the sun and swim in the pool but as things turned out we ended up doing quite a few things. We astarted off with a couple of days [View Full Entry]

hello my lovely dedicated readers (aka mum and dad). hope you are all well and enjoying the sun i am sure is shining oh so brightly at home. i am currently in wales, and the sun does not seem so intent on shining here. it's odd sort of weather really - it has not yet rained, yet the sky is stuck in an endless sulk, content to remain grey and cloudy in a sure-fire attempt to suck the soul out of anyone not totally accustomed to shitty weather. haha. nah, it's not that bad, i'm getting used to it really. but [View Full Entry]
