Bali was on my Bucket List (written circa 2006) as a far off exotic island that I wanted to see but thought would be a once in a lifetime trip. Since I moved to Jakarta, I have gone to Bali 4 times!! A meager amount compared to some of my colleges, but a crazy amount compared to what I once thought was possible!! Bali is an amazing place with beautiful cultural events and activities, as well as breathtaking beaches and sunsets....and let us not forget the big beautiful villas we can stay in!
For someone like me, who LOVES the beach, Bali is a sweet escape from the realities of Jakarta. Blue skies and clear days are rare in Jakarta, so to go to a beautiful pristine beach and relax for the weekend is just good for the soul!
Not to Mention how fun it is to run into someone you know unexpectedly!!! It always makes a trip, that much better!!
One of my favorite spots is Potato Head! I just love the pool over looking the beach and the sunsets there are some of the most memorable I've had with good friends...Plus, how can you go wrong with thier drink menu!! So many delicious choices! My favs are the bloody mary with soy sauce and wasabi or the prohibition tea!! YUM! Wish I had one right now! How can you not enjoy this sunset while sipping on one of those!!
And to top it all off the beautiful rice paddies! Traveling through Ubud on a bike tour and seeing some eye opening sights is always a cultural experience. And being a music and dance fan I can never go wrong with seeing a show at the Ubud Palace!
Adding a little extra culture by doing the indonesian squat in the middle of a rice paddy! :)
Bali is an Amazing Place, and I cannot encourage all my friends and family enough, TO COME AND VISIT ME!!! :) Lets Make a plan...set a goal...
Hope to see you on this side of the world sometime in the future!!!!
The sooner the better! Who knows when I'll leave Indonesia!!
