Legian is the village located directly north of Kuta along Jl. Legian. The term ‘village’ might sounds rather strange these days as Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak seem like one long urban sprawl, cement and tarmac more prevalent that thach houses and coconut groves.

So far wet season 2007 has been a delight. The occassional short shower, keeping us cool, plenty of scorching sunshine and none of the week-long grey skies that the wet season usually entails.

They say there’s a downturn in tourism in Bali. If you was at Blue Ocean Beach this afternoon that would not be your impression at all. I was looking for some lunch after spending a few hours in Kuta. Aiming for Warung Murah on Jl. Double Six, I rode over and could see lines out [...]

The beaches in Bali are a big part of why people come. The great thing is that you can be on a beach within an hour of landing at Denpasar (DPS). Sun, sea and surf, or whatever triple combo tickles your fancy, is easily available since hotels in Tuban, Kuta, Legian and Seminyak are bullt [...]
