We were all up fairly early out of habit and each of us spent a bit of time chilling either on the Internet which of course hadn39t worked the night before due to the power outage or reading while we attempted to hold off on having breakfast as long as we could.Ended up having breakfast at about 930pm then checked out around 1030 http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-788969.html ltiframe srchttpplayer.vimeo.comvideo49368502 frameborder0 width650 height366gtltiframegt http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-788434.html Bvilla Seminyak is located within the center of Seminyak Oberoi area where the beach of Petitenget is within walking distance. The beach is the happening place on the island of Bali where this is the home of the trendiest and most sophisticated sunset bars restaurants and cafes in the whole of Bali. The Bvilla Seminyak Baliis design with modern style mixed with Balinese touch this is where tra http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Seminyak/blog-788158.html After a great stay in Labuan Bajo we landed on Bali without getting our feet wet and went straight on to the small island of Lembongan where we stayed for 10 nights. Regarding wet feet a plane from the same airline as ours missed the landing zone and ended up in the ocean. Fortunately no one got serious hurt as far as we are aware.I was a bit excited about returning to Lembongan after spending http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Nusa-Lembongan/blog-787755.html We just returned from a two week holiday in Bali. Just great. Our last stay was at Sanur Paradise Plaza Hotel. A nice hotel but the great thing was being able to walk at the seaside following a nice little road along the beach. When we just arrived we did that walk and because it was so hot decided to look for a place to eat and drink something. At some point we took a right and choose just a wa http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Sanur/blog-787427.html I got a 320am wake up call this morning intended for Christina who had already left the room. This woke me up with a jolt largely because I didn39t even know the room had a phone and then had to find it while still largely asleep. It also meant I had trouble falling back asleep for almost an hour which I wasn39t impressed by either but not much I could do about it. Woke up around 7am and http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-786685.html We are coming to the end of our 3 week visit to Bali Indonesia. We live in the town of Sanur popular with expats and well off retirees. Sanur is towards the southeastern end of the island not far from the capital Denpasar. Sanur has a nice beach which is protected by an offshore reef making it a good place to swim. Being on the windward side of the island Sanur is a popular place to enjoy the http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Sanur/blog-786595.html There have been a handful of extra special places on this trip which we have really really enjoyed and stayed longer than planned in places that we felt so comfortable in we didnt want to leave places that seemed nice but quite ordinary at first glance but turned out to be amazing and places that we want to go back to again one day. Ubud was another one of these magical places. It totally c http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Ubud/blog-786449.html Ah crazy Kuta a place in the South of Bali which is possibly the least authentic Balinese place you could visit. Similar to parts of Koh Samui in Thailand or Boracay in the Philippines Kuta is the place to come if you want to party and being only a few hours away from Australia that is exactly what Ozzies in Bintang vests or no tops at all come here to do munching away on pizza burgers pi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Legian/blog-786448.html Up early this morning to gorgeous sunshine and blue skies. So after breakfast it was straight to the pool for some swimming sun bathing mostly in the shade for me and reading. Unfortunately the swim up pool bar hadn39t opened by the time we left at about 11am though. After showering and checking out we sat down in a gazebo at the beach for about 40 minutes before we got back into our van an http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-786322.html First stop today after breakfast was a village temple. We had to hire sarongs which is a fantastic look on me I can never pull that sort of thing off. The temple was small but pretty and intricate. Some impressive offerings too.Then it was on to an example of a traditional Balinese house. Essentially they are all different little houses one each for the children the parents an outdoor kitche http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-786229.html Woke up bright and early this morning but took it fairly easily. Free wifi everywhere which is a bonus and downloading and backing up photos is always a good idea for me.Grabbed breakfast and headed off about 9am for what I intended to be a very relaxed day bit of shopping chilling and watching the local funeral celebrations for a member of the royal family more on that shortly. A lot of the http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-786002.html Up early this morning for a 9am bus exit breakfast at 8am so I could use the wifi. Tasty omelette though. It was about an hours drive to the first temple of the day Tanah Lot.Tanah Lot is a 15th century temple on a rock in the ocean that has essentially been shaped or formed by the ocean. Pretty spectacular waves crashing around I. Unfortunately it wasn39t accessible due to the high tide bu http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-786001.html 11 May Canberra Sydney Perth BaliLong travel day today. In to a taxi at 330am to get the 415am bus to Sydney. Managed to sleep most of the way fairly empty bus. Then it was time to check in for flight to Perth thankfully with bags checked through to Denpasar. Breakfast stop and a bit of time to chill at Sydney before the Perth flight. Excitement of that flight was Richard Branson being o http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/blog-785656.html Bali was a jinx trip. I reached the wrong terminal and because of uncooperative KLM staff I also missed the flight despite reaching there 45mins in advance with a web checkin done. I decided I shall still fly and not succumb to stupid rules. I took another flight and landed in a relaxed Bali as planned. At the Bali airport I felt as if I was in mini Europe with whites everywhere as I was standi http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Ubud/blog-785172.html 31We got up and had breakfast at 10 we were phoned the night before to ask what we would like and what time We ate it on the table outside our room but were joined by a lot of flies It was a nice enough breakfast egg bacon and toast The weather was pretty miserable rain rain rain The guesthouse offered a free shuttle bus to the beach into town. We were taken into the local town Seminya http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Indonesia/Bali/Legian/blog-784275.html Bali is like no other destination in the world. It is a paradise for all travelers. There are beaches stretched miles away temples dotted every corners of the town friendly and smiling Balinese encountered all around. But above all the essence of Bali is the deeprooted religious cultural context which harmonizes with the beauty of the paddy fields and the nature. Ubud is heart of Bali.
