Sanur 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.

Bali Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
Bali 6th November 2009 Having 'done' Myanmar David decided to look at where AirAsia fly to from Bangkok. Bali came up as ridiculously cheap so we just had to go. Added to which Ann wanted to be somewhere exotic for her 60th so Bali seemed to fit the bill perfectly. Overnighted at the very comfortable, if strangely named, Great Residency airport hotel at Bangkok we arrived in Bali to yet another hot and steamy country. As we had no Indonesian cash, we made for a set of ATM's in the arrivals lounge. To our horror the one we chose took [View Full Entry]

Bali to Lombok Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
Where do i start? The beginning? It's so hectic here you forget where you are sometimes! Or at least our driver did! We fly into Bali in the evening and not really wanting to get here and find accommodation, transport etc etc we had it all prebooked. Arrive to the driver holding a sign. Mr Whidrab. That's another name for the list. He led us to the car to take us to Sanur for our lodgings for the next couple of days. Put the key in to unlock it but it wouldn't unlock? After trying the rest of the doors he [View Full Entry]

Donut post Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
Greetings using the wifi at dunkin donuts in Sanur. Sanur is a quieter area in Bali on the east coast only about half an hour from where we were in kuta. This is just a quick post to say that we are alive and well. We're so relaxed we have no idea what day it is. We went for adam's last arm follow up appointment today and it's looking a lot better. We don't have any more appointments and Adam should be fully recovered soon. We head back to Kuta on tuesday where we will resume our surfing lessons. We will [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Sanur with 16 days to kill before our flight to Australia. The challenge was deciding which beach to sit on for all those days??.... it's a tough life travelling! ;-) As we strolled along the shore looking at the miles of beach we were approached by a number of touts offering us cheap rooms so we checked a few before finding a little gem tucked away down a back alleyway called Little Pond. The guesthouse had two rows of rooms facing each other with a small pool in between. The rooms were very basic but for 5.50 a [View Full Entry]

Thursday, July 16th We had a wonderful nights sleep and woke to the sound of the waves crashing on the first white beach we'd seen since coming to Bali. Ahhh... sweet bliss. With stiff legs we stumbled down the stairs to breakfast. Afterwards we said goodbye to Tani, because she was catching the shuttle to Ubud and we were of to Sanur, a coastal area in eastern Denpasar. There's something about Padang Bai. We don't know why, but we both really like the town. Maybe it's the nice room, the view, the good restaurants and the tons of dive operators that [View Full Entry]

Bali Bound! Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
After a long 20 hour journey, I made it to Bali yesterday afternoon! I'm so excited to just be here. My plans are unfolding very nicely. I'm glad I've decided to "splurge" on this trip and really treat myself. The hotel I'm staying at is gorgeous. No matter how hot it is, thankfully the pool is always cool. The people are so friendly and the food is delish! I learned a lot about Balinese culture from the driver who picked me up from the airport. In front of every gate in front of the homes here, there is a very large [View Full Entry]

Bob in the pool!

Last night in Bali. Apparently the tropical heat (not really all that hot actually, mid 80's for the high) and humidity (much like Houston) conspire to make me lazier and lazier. At the Denpasar airport, expect to stand in line for at least 45 minutes for visa on arrival, and this is low season too. Getting around to my first stop, Ubud, was extremely easy. "Hello? Taxi?" you hear this every 2 steps, from people soliciting busy to drive you to here and there. Overall, just negotiate and if the price sounds reasonable for you, just hop on and a short [View Full Entry]

Zadnji dan v Singapurju se ni zacel nic kaj bistveno drugace kot vsi ostali prej: mini zajtrk v hostlu (tokrat v bolj okrnjeni izvedbi, ker sva odsli, se preden se je recepcija odprla, kar pomeni, da so naju toast + namaz + voda pricakali v kuhinji), potem pa zaresni zajtrk na marketu. Tam sva stegnili se ene noodles to go za na letalisce, potem pa na bus do Johor Bahruja (JB, za frende). Sedli sva na lokalni bus javnega prevoza st. 170 za $1,90 po osebi, ki naju je po slabi uri pripeljal do meje. Tam smo se skidali dol, sli [View Full Entry]

Seaside joy
Sunset magic
As always ...

Hi everyone, Today was another adventure filled day. We started off the day not knowing what we were going to do in this tropical paradise when the weathers not so great... We decided to carry the bloody surfboards down to poppies 2, about 2 km, to sell them! ( you were right dad!) Along the way we got a pleasant surprise as we re united with Tector in the busy down town Kuta, Kris purchased some food off the street vendor which we fed to tector and he happily demolished it then trotted down the road behind us! Luckily we sold [View Full Entry]

The dreaming could begin! Asia » Indonesia » Bali » Sanur
'Mandala Desa', the small hotel that was for sale, was fully booked at the beginning of our trip. We therefore first stayed at 'Puri Kelapa' in Sanur, a resort that consists of houses in Balinese style, in a tropical garden with a nice, common swimming pool. We rented a small house with a bedroom, a bathroom and a terrace for $US30 per night; this price even included breakfast! Very basic and not really the cleanest place we had ever seen, but what could we expect for a price like that. No wonder we met people from Holland who had been spending [View Full Entry]
