... hindu and buddist temples surrounded by misty mountains to highly active volcanoes in an environment only comparable to the deserts in starwars, and then the other extreme of oh so amazingly green jungle valleys with ricepaddies as far as the eye can see. We found time to stop by Bali and didn't have any trouble having a good time in both Ubud, the artists "village" and Kuta, the aussie "playground". Our time in Indonesia ended on an extremelely ...
