For the last 9 days we've been relaxing and having fun in Kuta on Bali, before we are constantly on the move in Australia. Its quite a touristy place, but we've really enjoyed it, as it has a really nice vibrancy about it. There are also plenty of things to do here, lots of bars and clubs and loads of nice places to get some good western food, which has been a nice change from the normal Indonesian choice of fried rice, fried rice, or... fried rice. What's also made a difference is being with a really cool group of people; Mark, Johan, Rinaldo and Rowena, who we travelled from Mt Bromo with. Its been great all chilling on the beach together in the day and then having dinner together at night, we also got them ... read more

18-21 Oct 2007What can I say? It is Bali... the world famous Bali and I was very lucky to have a full expense paid trip and stayed in a small luxury resort - SPA VILLAGE RESORT TEMBOK BALI.The scenaries were heaven. The services were first class. The staff is extremely friendly. The downsides are the foods need some improvisation and the journey from airport to the resort is too far and very exhausting. The 80 min massages feels like 20 min only, way too nice.... read more

We flew from Singapore to Denpasar airport in Bali on October 16th. We learned from another passenger on the flight that nearly all hotels in Bali were booked due to the Muslim holiday Hari Raya, since many Indonesians were spending their holiday in Bali. Our usual method of taking a taxi to a hotel-filled area and wandering until we found one might not work this time, it seemed. After getting our luggage we began visiting tourist counters at the airport, a practice we generally avoid. One after another had nothing available except for posh $60 plus hotel rooms. We finally found a hotel with two $25 rooms still available, in the seaside city of Sanur. We snatched up one of the rooms, and recruited another hotel-less couple to take the other. The four of crowded into ... read more

We got a taxi from Ubud to Toya Bunkah with our sole intention to climb a volcano. As we drove downwards the views were spectacular. The guest house where we were staying was situated on the lake overlooking the volcano. There were a number of different treks you could do some starting at 3am and getting back at 10am. Being the hardcore trekkers that we are we opted for the 3 hour trek (the easy trek) which meant we didn't have to get up until 4:20am, what a lie in! There was one major problem with this place which we quickly realised.... the flies....they were everywhere. Due to this we decided that after we had climbed the volcano no matter how tired we were, we were going to leave. After having a fly infested lunch and ... read more
