I have been visiting Bali since 1980, always in the DEC-FEB period.
Just booked to visit in JUNE and find myself scared to the max, looking for reassurance or otherwise as to time of my trip. I am still able to rearrange for a Dec trip as usual, at little extra cost.
My main concerns are
- I live in a hot dry climate in Oz and love the Bali humidity and tropical storms, none in June
- Xmas/New Year are super times in Bali with now long term friends, what festivities in June to equal?
- Not sure if dolphins are as active near Lovina mid year. Someone indicated they head to warmer waters further north.
- Definately will miss the SANUR GIFT on New Years Day. This has been a highlight for me and is probably my biggest psychological hurdle to get over, as I am a fitness freak and love the heat of battle on the beach. First year I won't have been involved.
- Will miss 3 stand up start wins for my footy side against Hawks, Saints and Pussies.
I know these are mainly negatives, but looking for some positives. Anyone out there help??
