Bali

Bali is located in Indonesia and lies to the east of Java. This extraordinary island, with its luxuriant tropical vegetation, has attracted visitors for years for a simple reason. It is magical. Bali is also unique in that it is 90% Hindu. A deep sense of spirituality permeates every day existence and to be there during a full moon ceremony or temple celebration is an unforgettable experience. In fact, the island natives do not call it Bali, they call it the Great Island, Nusa Dua.

Part of Bali's beauty is her people, who are absolutely the nicest. Another part is the topography. There are rivers and gorges, volcanoes, mountain caves, intricately terraced rice fields and beaches with white or black sand. It is lush and exotic. Throughout the island are also countless temples including the monkey temple in a fantastic forest and the mysterious Pura Tanah Lot, which can only be reached on foot during low tide and is said to be guarded by black poisonous sea snakes.

Bali is also famous for its artisans and Ubud, a charming town, is the "artistic heart" of the country. Be prepared to fill a crate to be shipped home full of fabulous stone garden ornaments, Balinese antiques, paintings and woodcarvings. The shopping, like the rest of Bali, is irrisistible.
