Kuta Ranches - Reviews and Rates

This could be a bit emotional. The last blog from the trip, and it could well be a short one.

We have been here 6 days now and leave tomorrow at 5 in the eve (10am your time). After that we have 4 hrs to kill in Jakarta Airport before we fly back to the UK at midnight, and finally get into Manchester at 12.30ish on the 16th. And before yo...

Well I have finally made it over to Indonesia after having put it off for the last 3 years. I am currently on the island of Bali in the town of kuta (pronounced coota) which is the surf Mecca for this part of the world and only behind Hawaii as far as top destination for the surf crowd. It's strange to see a place where such a huge proportion of...

We arrived in Bali on November 18th. We stayed at the Masa Inn on Kuta Beach per Liehao and Lisa's recommendation. November 19th we went to the beach and were approached by many touts...sarongs, surf lessons, mangos, jewelry, massages...you name it. The sun was pretty strong for our winter white skin. We got sunburned two days in a row, especial...

We are planning ahead, would you believe? We are booking our Hedo holiday for November! Our friends from Lorraine, Marie-Claude and Michael, are going the same time: the Kink and Wild Women week.

We seem to be on a roll with the whole waking up 10 minutes before the alarm goes off. We were up by 6:15 and out of the hotel by 7am. First stop - KL's very own Petronas towers. They used to be the tallest in the world, but now Taipei reigns (I think), and they fall into fifth place. But none-the-less VERY impressive. We stood in line for an ho...

It's 9.30 a.m. and already too hot to do anything except sit or lie around reading. We've been here in Indonesia a week today, but the heat makes me too lazy to write. We arrived in Gili Air on Christmas Eve and were about to follow a young man to his cottages when we met two French girls, Natalie and Valerie, who had been here a while and recom...
