I went in '96, and in 2000 or so, absolutely loved it (enough that i did an arts degree alongside my engo just for Indo & asian studies!). I did a volcano sunrise thing also, but we went up Gunung Bromo, which is on Jawa. We actually did a guided horse ride up the volcano, which was way cool, riding across this plain pre-dawn was awesome, then the views... nice. The added benefit is that horses go faster than people - i think we got to sleep in 'til 4am. Could probably do that in bali. Ubud is (or was, i suppose still is) really nice, slower than the kuta/legian strip, but that's such a good thing! More crafty, nature-y etc, has a cool monkey forest. in central bali. Speaking of monkey forests, go to Uluwatu! Whether you're a surfer or not, it's a pretty scenic joint, temple ruins on a cliff atop a world famous surf break. SW Bali. While you're down that way, stop at Jimbaran Bay. It's halfway from Kuta to Uluwatu, and has (forgive exaggerated memory) maybe 50 beachfront - as in sit at table on sand - cafes selling you seafood from the bay you're lookin at. Beware the dodgy scales, you may pay for more fish than what you choose.. all good fun. That would be my number 1 bali memory. Heaps of awesome restaurants everywhere, poppy's (poppy's lane, kuta), some beachfront restaurants up the other end of legian.. im drooling here. Tanah Lot (NW of Denpasar) is a temple out on a rock in the water at a beach, beautiful, esp sunset. Can visit at low tide i think. Must shut up! All these things except ubud are within about 10km of kuta. ubud's maybe 30km? not more. There are millions of cool temples. Avoid Nusa Dua, it's just lots of stoopid resorts, no 'real' indonesia. Oh, and if you've started haggling for something, you buy it. Sorry bout the brochure edit: wrong gunung! [Updated on: Thu, 22 April 2004 08:58] [Report message to a moderator]
