Spending the Day in Bali, Indonesia

July 4th, 2010

With limited time to spend in Bali, we decided that a tour of the island would be a great way to sample what the island has to offer. Having gotten some advice on “must-sees” from friends who were recently in Bali, we opted for “Bali, Kintamani Volcano,Ubud and Barong Dance Full Day Tour.” We stayed in Sanur on the water, and were picked up at our hotel. Our tour guide, Sandy, a Balinese local, was enthusiastic and had a wealth of knowledge about Bali.

Seminyak – Bali, The Heaven in Earth

February 10th, 2010

Where Ubud is all about spiritually and culture, Seminyak is known for exquisite beaches, great shopping and fine dining. Seminyak is very popular with resident expatriates and land accommodation prices are amongst the highest on Bali. Luxury spas and hotels abound, as do high-end shopping establishments and fine-dining restaurants.

Seminyak is a shopper’s paradise. There are plenty of branded boutiques, including some that I’m familiar with from Jakarta and others that are completely new to me. And if you ever get tired of shopping, if that’s possible, you can pop into one of the fine-dining restaurants managed by foreigners and locals or any one of the hundreds of cool bars.
