Pelangi Bali Hotel And Spa Seminyak

After a strange night, with few sleeping, due to our neighbour's TV, muslim prayings all the time, hard pillows, long and noisy raining, phone callings... we finally wake up thanks to a phone call to our room from Mowgli, because our dated time had passed by. Car and up to Kawah Injen volcano. The weather is not cold, but it is slightly raining, and we are warned that the climbing to the top is really HARD. It is true, more than 3 kilometers on slippy mud roads with an inclination over 25% (W...

Perhaps they'll go to Borneo, or diving somewhere in th...
