Bali 08-09 Part 1

Christmas 2008. I decided that I needed sometime off from Java and Bali seemed to be an ideal place to get away. So, James, Daniel, Peco and I planned on an adventurous trip to the island of god. Spending Christmas and New Year there was such a different and fun experience.

I am not a good writer so I believe that whatever words I wrote on this part won’t be adequate to express the excitement that we had on our Christmas break. People say that a picture san cay a million words. Since we took a lot of pictures on this trip, so I will write less and put up more pictures. I’ll let them speaks millions of words to you. ;)

On the ferry on our way to Bali

Christmas on Sanur beach 2008!

Dreamland Beach - It was a nice white sandy beach on the area of Jimbaran. The popularity f this beach grows amongst domestic tourists from year to year. It has strong waves that sucks your energy even if you just want to play with water! But it was fun.
On our way to Ubud, Peco drove and on the back were two junkies with their huge suitcase tried to look cool. Sorry for their fingers.

Ubud - Nice little village, try the Balinese suckling pig at Ibu Oka, the healthiest organic food at Sari just behind Abangan Bungalows, or an excellent Mexican food at Naughty Nuri's 2 (We were planning to eat at Naughty Nuri's 1 but all seats were taken). Take a look at Antonio Blanco's Museum, very interesting place. And when you go to Monkey Forest, read #1 rule. Don't touch the monkey's tail!
The Hidden Beach - Definitely the highlight of our trip, though it was only a short visit. For the direction on how to go to this little paradise go to http://www.baliblog.com/ It's not super difficult to find this place but you have to have extra attention finding the little sign that said "White Sandy Beach". A must to go beach for those who like a little adventure. Not much of a touristy beach with some warungs and beach chairs available for rent. Go to Warung Well Come, they have good food and good people to hang out or to talk with.
