Bali Villas - Reviews and Rates

Spent a couple days in Uluwantu, the most famous surf break and temple in Bali. Its a constant 5-6ft left you can ride for almost 300m. I still haven't worked up the effort to rent a board, as I have no way of getting it around. The shallow coral is a little discouraging as well... I saw a handful of guys (mostly French) in the area all bandaged...

Laying in the sun next to the pool, I was wondering how much long I should be in the sun before I burn. I thought about how nice the penetrating heat felt and about how some people resort to tanning beds and creams to get brown. A young local girl walked by and I thought how she looked to be a good achievable shade of brown. Then I wondered if s...

Today was a day to do nothing. Just relax and lie out on the beach and swim and read and meet with all our new friends. Yes, I would have loved to go out and try surfing but I couldn't start here. The waves were much too big. I could have gone down to Kuta I guess, but I didn't really think of that option before it was too late. It's hard to go ...

Two more days and we are back in Labuan Bajo. We take our leave of the two nicest guys in Indonesia, Agi and Acho.The whole trip by boat and car was organised by Perama Tours. www.peramatour.com is the website to look at. Presumably Indonesia has no health and safety executive. That said, we would have no hesitation in recommending the company t...

Stayed at the Gardenia Hotel last night. We arrived after dark and it was incredible to wake up to the amazing view of Labuan Bajo harbour from our hotel patio. An early start and a small two and a half hour boat trip took us to Rinca Island, sister island to Komodo. Ten of us left the harbour at 7am, us and another 8 people from the "cruise Shi...

God! I was on the flight on helicopter! Gee..... It was so exciting! Driver picked up us at Nikko Bali at 8.30 am, then he drive us (3 of us) on Toyota- Avansa car to the airport. The sky was really clear and sunny, just perfect for a flight tour! The transfer to airport Ngurah Rai was within 20 minutes, there was not so many vehicles on the str...

I had to force myself to leave beautiful Gili Air Island after one week of relaxing there, but it was a great choice since I landed myself in wonderful Menjangan Island! I was foolish enough to take a motorbike up to Menjangan Island. So 4 hours after leaving Ubud, staring at the 'Bones Sex' sticker on the back of my driver's helmet, sucking in ...

Indonesia has been a fantastic place to end this chapter of our trip. Would reccommend going there. We weren't sure about it before we got here because lots of worried friends and family had warned us against coming here because of the terrorist threat and political unrest, however we have seen nothing but good, and met some of the most lovely, ...

More photos of Bali available here: Bali Photos and of a wedding and cremation ceremony I went to here: Love and Death in Bali (Sorry that you have to register, but it's quick and easy and I have NEVER received spam from them) I was a bit anxious heading out, being a big trip and all, but once I saw Nedda I was chipper again. We didn't have a ho...

From Ubud Sarah and I decided to head up to Lovina on the north coast of Bali. It is a somewhat touristy area with nice black sand beaches. We stayed there for three nights at a nice place called the "Astina Cottages" which was near the beach. It had a little more road noise than the place in Ubud but the roosters were fewer and farther between ...
