Pendawa Hotel Tuban

... in a different country, especially one as beautiful as Bali gives you a very unreal sense of freedom. For the most part, the journey was through 'countryside' type scenery, rice paddies and farmers with their cow-ploughs, a seemingly untouched paradise....however upon getting closer to Nusa Dua we were brought out of our reverie with a costly jolt! During one of our frequent pauses to admire the scenery, Jeff decided to take off his helmet, now while we weren't specifically ...

... mall, they make delicious bread and cakes, Julie can speak from experience! And says the bread and butter pudding is the best she has ever eaten. Our hotel the Green Garden was exceptionally good value, just £18 a night. The hotel rooms were spotless, with air conditioning and flat screen TV's as standard, and the price even included breakfast! There was a lovely pool surrounded by exotic foliage, airport transfers were free, plus 2 hours per person complimentary ...

Well, what a weekend....after the excitement of our evacuation and a couple of nights in a hotel, I left D luxuriating there, and jetted off to what is now feeling like our weekend island retreat! The hotel in Kuta (Poppies Lane 1 for those of you who know the area) was very basic room-wise, but with lovely gardens, Balinese features and 2 pristine pools...but not much time was to be spent indoors anyway. 1st off a wander around the narrow ...

... sandals soon, but it is hard to enjoy the shopping experience here. Guys stand on the street with a pair of sunglasses, saying "one dollar." When I show an interest, they do not let me look at them but instead usher me off to a store where they have a bag full of fake Oakleys and other expensive brands. They try to pass them off as the real brand and ask for the corresponding prices, like 350,000 Rp. They are so obviously fake that it is hard not to feel ...

... guidance. All I know is that I want to do yoga and get to India, and I have to leave Bali to obtain my visa, as there is no Indian embassy here. My options were limited to Jakarta, Singapore, or Kuala Lumpur. I have absolutely zero desire to go to Jakarta, Singapore is expensive and I've already been, and so I landed on KL. I haven't been there yet, so it'll be fun to experience a new place, although I have a feeling I'm going ...

... plethora of foods they grow or raise themselves. The couple I came with had elected to stay overnight, giving us the opportunity to explore the village at our leisure once the daily rainstorm had come and gone. An old man proudly played us a drum he had made; he lived in the only remaining original house from the time of the village's founding, his bed and kitchen cozily clustered in the same dirt-floored structure ...

After another long, albeit much smoother, bus ride, we finally arrive in Bali! Now vacation time really begins! The island of Bali has so much to offer! There's beaches, volcanoes, temples, and wonderful culture. It's easy to get around the different cities, and many activities on offer. We stayed in Bali for about a week, including New Year's, and it was a blast! Despite the endless cries of "Hey Boss!" or "Transport! Transport!" the people are very friendly. We ...

... A great dinner and beer in the evening whilst planning the rest of our time in Bali. ----DEUTSCH---- Letzter Stop Bali Wir kamen Gestern gut in Bali an nach zwei sehr langen und ereignislosen Fluegen. Von Christchurch nach Sudney und dann weiter nach Bali. Wir sahen Sydney nun bereits zum Dritten Mal aus der Luft. Der Anblick ist jedesmal atemberaubend. Sydney ist sicher die am schoensten gelegenste Stadt der Welt unglaublich. Die Formalitaeten am Flughafen in Bali waren ...
