Bali Beaches - Tips from the East

Image
The island of Bali has been attracting holidaymakers for decades. Now, thanks to competitive air fares from budget airlines such as Air Asia, it is popular stop for those tourists visiting other parts of Asia. Its proximity to Australia has always meant that Bali is a leading destination from there. I've posted some airline links at the foot of the page. Bali is not a huge island but its relatively undeveloped road network means it takes far longer to get anywhere than a simple glance at a map would suggest. Most of the modern development has taken place around the airport at Denpasar in the eat, primarily in the town of Kuta. The surf shops as big as supermarkets are a clear indication of an advanced tourist economy. That is why I chose to investigate the the east of the island. I started in the resort of Candidasa, some 64 km or 45 miles from the airport. In most countries that would mean a journey of around an hour but on the day I arrive it is festial day for Bali...

Cadiz

Andalucia offers the explorer many fine places to discover as this blog has previously explained. Away from the major cathedral cities of Malaga, Sevilla, Granada and Cordóba, what else lies within the province? Travel a little further and the port city of Cadiz comes into view. Look familiar? It doubled as Havana in Bond's Die Another Day  Cadiz is a remarkably easy city to explore. For the reasonably fit, it can all be done on foot. The city lies on a peninsular with the walker and cyclist well catered for and you stroll out with the sea on one side. The many fine buildings is a reminder if Spain's affluent past when the riches of the New World arrived first in the port before distribution to the other areas of Spain. On Sunday mornings, especially in spring and autumn, Cadiz is the playground for those seeking redemption through fitness.  Joggers, cyclists and power walkers use the city to get them in shape. It's easy because it is flat. A great place to ...

Bali Temples - A Few Suggestions

Image
Visitors wishing to visit a temple in Bali will not be disappointed. There are 16,000 of them scattered around the island. Many are small and attached to the village or community it serves. However more tourists head inland to the largest of Bali's religious sites, Basakhi. As with everywhere in Bali, it takes longer to get to places than a map would suggest. In my case 90 minutes from the coastal resort of Candidasa. There are pre-arranged tours which can booked but I went by private taxi. However there are certain "obligations" tourists need to be aware of. Tourists are required to take a guide. Although this is included in the entrance price of less than $5, there is an expectation of a similar amount as a tip at the end. A motor cycle takes you to the mouth of the temple where again you are obligated to purchase Hindu offerings. Not expensive but it is frowned upon not to enter without an offering. You are also required to wear a sarong, women and men. Ther...
