Bali

Bali is well known as a paradise island with beautiful stretches of sandy beach and mountainous landscape. Bali is an Indonesian island located in the eastern part of Indonesia, lying between Java and Lombok. Majority of the people in Bali are Hindus although Indonesia is primarily a Muslim country. The capital city of Bali is Denpasar and though Bali was a Dutch colony, the Balinese culture has a strong Indian and Chinese influence. I was invited to join a friend in Bali a few years ago. She works for Club Med and was given free accommodation in Bali Club Med resort. All I need to do was to get my own air ticket. Club Med Bali itself ...  Read the complete review

Looking through the reviews there have been none for over 18 months and I feel that Bali is a wonderful place so wish to share my experiences with you in a hope that you might one day visit it and see it how I saw it!

I love Bali and the people.

I was fortunate to have missed the 2002 bombing by one week.
I am going back for three weeks from 28th October 2006.
If anyone wants me to pay respects on their behalf, please e-mail me. I lost two good Balinese friends.

Please contact me,

Marcus

To have occurred once was horrendous, killing and maiming all those people but for a second time – what has this island paradise and beautiful and gentle people done to deserve this? I don’t want to dwell too much on this incident l want to extol to you (hopefully doing it some justice) the majestic beauty and peaceful tranquillity of this small island and its peoples. To travel to Bali you will have to connect through one of the more major hubs whether it is Singapore or Bangkok. We flew out of Manchester with Singapore Airlines checking our baggage ...  Read the complete review

BALI AND NUSA DUA, KUTA I went to Bali in September 2002 and we stayed in the tourist region of Nusa Dua, which is only about 15 minute drive from DENPASAR, Kuta Airport. The hotel we stayed at was called Melia Bali (www.meliabali.com), which is one of the top hotels on the Island. Before I tell you more about my experience here I would like to tell you all about the VOA which stands for Visa on Arrival and you will have to pay for this on arrival and is available to the following countries, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, South Africa, South Korea, ...  Read the complete review
