After getting up early and spending time riding around, I was getting hungry. Looking around the streets that surround the Bali Museum, it became obvious there was nowhere to eat. Locals even told me there were no warungs in that area. Jumping on my trusty bike, I hit a main road, which took me to [...]
Bali Museum Denpasar

This morning I headed off like Columbus, into the Denpasar traffic, hoping to find the Bali Museum. The museum is located in Puputan Square and after a couple of wrong turns, courtesy of the re-routing of the one-way system, I reached it. Puputan Square is the large grassy area, that commemorates the Puputan (ritual group [...]
Bacio: Luxury nightlife in Bali

In recent years, some smart people have realized, that not everyone wants a bamboo bar and a Balinese reggae band, for late night entertainment. They also realized, that the fancier you make a place, the more people will be willing to pay for food and drinks.

Seaside Restaurant: Legian Bali
By Nick | January 17th, 2007 | 5 Comments »
Seaside Restaurant is located in the same location as the old Cafe Warna. The restaurant sits in front of the relatively new Seaside gym, the place that is responsible for my huge ‘wheels’ and bulging ‘guns’. My sister-in-law told me the food was good there, so I take that as a good recommendation.
Here’s what [...]
Blue Ocean Beach Bali

Blue Ocean Beach is a place that draws tourists and expats alike. The beach itself is nothing to shout about, but the easy access to Legian and Seminyak (location, location, location) and the array of place to eat and drink, means Blue Ocean Beach is always busy. While working out today, I snapped a photo [...]
Cafe Lotus: Ubud Bali

Returning to downtown Ubud from Museum Blanco, we pulled over and parked across from Cafe Lotus, on Jl. Raya Ubud. This restaurant has the most amazing view. Pura Saraswati backs on to it and guests can sit under the elongated ‘bale’ structure and admire the temple across the lotus pond. This afternoon Ika ordered a [...]

Last night Ika was telling me her mother wanted to visit Ubud, because there was a place on Indonesian TV, that a celebrity couple had been married. She had described it to Ika, but neither was 100% sure of where it was. “I will know the name of the place if I hear it,” said [...]
Warung Nasi Pak Sedan: Ubud Bali
By Nick | January 16th, 2007 | 1 Comment »
Ika’s mother requested a visit to Ubud, for reasons I’ll get to later. Ubud is one of my favourite areas, because of the density of artists, great Balinese ceremonies, great places to eat and lovely scenery. On the way into Ubud I asked them where they wanted to eat. Ika has been to Ubud before [...]
Pasar Badung: Denpasar Bali
By Nick | January 16th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Pasar Badung is the huge market area in central Denpasar, famous among locals. Today I drove Ika, Jevon and my mother-in-law there, to check things out. You never quite know how somebody will react to a place. A westerner could view Pasar Badung as a wonderful example of Asian culture, or a stinking example of [...]
