Bali
Jan 30 to 10 Feb 2007
This was my 7th time to Bali and I have to say that it was the hottest I have ever known in Bali; even the locals were saying how hot it was. Apparently, when Jakarta has the rains/floods Bali gets the heat. Not that I'm complaining, I love the heat; Bintang goes down so good when it's hot and the pool bar is buzzing.
We did lots of tours on our 11-night 10-day visit to Bali. Kintamani was gorgeous as usual. 3 trips to Ubud for shopping and eats, as I mentioned before, we LOVED Café Lotus in Ubud. Massages in Nusa Dua, there is a Café on the beach there with massage ladies right next to it. The food at this place is YUM and it's very cheap; and the massage ladies always know just where your aches and pains are. Plus, a trip to our sponsor family's village. We always feel so privileged when we go here, we are treated as family and they always have a cold Bintang waiting for us. The proudest moment for us was when our sponsored nephew (14) produced his report card from school; since we have been sponsoring him he has become the TOP student in his school. We are now giving a little extra so he can take additional English classes.
We got back from Bali on Sunday 11/2/07 and can't wait for our next visit.
Happy travels to all.
Cheers
