Last night I went out to Canggu to visit a friend of mine who recently moved out there. My friend said he likes living in the ‘kampung‘ (village), as it is closer to nature, with rice fields all around and the beach close. At night time, Canggu is certainly quiet, the only noises being local [...]

A pitstop made in heaven is too good to miss. Sanda Bukit Villas, just south of Pupuan, has been mentioned on this site many times, and today I visited while passing through. A pot of ginger tea and a large bowl of potato and leek soup were just the ticket, for a warm up after [...]

When I ride around the highlands of Bali, I can see how it once was, uninterupted hills, stretching to the horizon, a canopy of nothing but green. I can also see where the forest ends and where the rice fields start. Rice fields are lovely, they are also a man made creation.

Bali has a wide variety of attractions and I try to cover as many of them as possible. The Butterfly Park in Tabanan is one of the smaller attractions within reach for people in the Kuta area.
Balian: Surf spot in West Bali
By Nick | November 15th, 2006 | 5 Comments »
When people think of surf spots in west Bali, they think of Medewi. Earlier this week, passing through Soka Beach, Barrie, who is an experienced surfer, pointed out some okay places to surf. Back in 2003, I visited Balian, a quiet place in west Bali, that gets swell. Looking back on it, we were in [...]
Where to stay in Munduk Bali
By Nick | October 25th, 2006 | 2 Comments »
The cool thing about Munduk is the weather, its cool! If the heat and humidity of Kuta are getting you down, and Ubud just seems like another tourist trap, Munduk will be a breath of fresh air. There is a small selection of places to stay, enabling you to relax, take it easy, get used [...]
