you have to take a tour to go and see the Dolphins on a canoe longboat and catch the sunset on the way,also take a snorkelling trip and watch the sea turtles along with the tropical fish swimming around the coraljust diving off the boat in the middle of the ocean and swimming amongst the multi coloured fish is an under water experience you'll never forget
OK, two other things we did while in Bali were also unique was to visit a monkey forest (with temple in the forest) and the monkies will come and sit on your shoulder. However they are very precocious and so will steal hats, glasses or anything not firmly attached to you and run off with it. Fortunately the guides are good at retreiving.The other place were the local temples, in particular Tanah Lot (sea Temple) and an Elephant temple (in a cave).
A walk in the rain forest,a visit to the rice terraces and paddy fields, trips to the many temples, a look around Ubud market (try your bargaining skills), a visit to the volcanos, visit the small villages off the beaten track, a visit to Ubud monkey forest(watch your cameras and bags, the monkeys will have them!!)The list could go on, so go to Bali and see as much as you can.
You must visit a Kulit Wayang in Java. This is the shadow puppets theatre show you can see in ususally in Jogjakrta. This old traditional Javanese way of telling stories is combined with the Gamelan music. Usually telling the story of the Ramayana. It can take up to nine hours!!!Gentle music and story telling. Great master artists.
Hopefully you will be on Bali on at least one of their festvals. There where two or three when we where there. All the beautiful clothes!!The picture shows a girl finishing the sacrifices for the gods.
went on a tour around Lombok and stoped at a place where they weave beautiful fabrics.You get to see the whole process and can take as much photos as you want to. *ok, they are even more happy if you buy something*
Go to Padang Galak on the east coast of Bali, nice small waves and amazing black spakeling lava sand!Swimming, surfing (great for body surfers) or just getting very, very hot and fried on the beachI've never seen black sand before, and I still have got some in my bikini...it's hard to get rid of
Ubud, Bali: Alot of art, wood carvings and markets.We went there for a day. The thing I remember the most is a recreation park. It looked like a tempel, filled with colourful buildings, birds and small waterfalls.some of the buildings are for rent and locals often use them for their wedding night.
Visiting Borobudur, one of the World Wonders, is a must. Borobudur is in Yogyakarta and is the greatest Buddhist Temple in the World. It built in around 8-9 B.C. and took about 100 years to finish. However, it was covered by volcano ashes for over 1,000 years and was discovered by a British in 1815. It is an excellent architecture in the ancient Indonesia.
In Bali, you should watch a cultural dancing performance named Taritarian. Like other cultures, the dance describes their own mysterious stories. If you don't mind spending too much time (a show takes 2-3 hours), it should be quite interesting. (picture : Barong Dance)
