I was back in Bali, Indonesia a few months ago and it all started with a trip to Singapore. This lady I know is into the fashion scene and The Stones Hotel in Legian was having a festival. One thing lead to another and I was on a plane to Bali for ~11 days or so. Slick hotel and first time going to an event like this; lots of interesting people to converse with, I assure you.
One day we made our way to Semara Luxury Villa Resort for a media lunch and took a helicopter to get there. Helicopters are the future and I think this video pretty much speaks for itself. Bali is worth visiting as it has something of interest for most and options for any budget. If you do come, don’t be put off by what’s happening near the airport in Kuta, Legian etc… They are really busy, messy and loud. Also the beachs are quite polluted; don’t be shocked to see plastic bags in the sea; lots of them.
The partying in Kuta is nuts.
Those places are chaotic messes that I enjoy but if you cruise the coasts or make your way into the mountains you’ll feel like you’re on another planet; let alone the same small island. From Bali you can also go to the Gili Islands which are supposedly out of this world; I never made it while there in 2009 as I got caught in the chaotic mess I just mentioned. I did make a trip to the black sand beaches of Pemuteran with these Swedish girls I met for Christmas only to get attacked by aggressive ants and chased by a pack of rabid looking dogs while hanging out with ninja orphans; Merry Christmas.
To each their own but I’m most certainly not a fan of black sand beaches.I’d go on but it’s time for a snorkel to see what odd creatures are lurking in and around the shores. I’ve been going more often of late and seeing all sorts of stuff from sting rays to snappers and whatever else you may find inbetween.
Supposedly Ubud is beautiful; just too hippy for this gent.
