Bali is a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago. It has long sandy beaches, warm blue water, volcanoes, a dense tropical jungle and friendly people with a unique culture. Every night is a festival when spirits come in the moonlight is a great opportunity to have fun. A perfect holiday destination with modern tourist facilities, nice shopping and many places to visit like magnificent temples and palaces from the Balinese people rich past and heritage. The Scenery is nothing less than spectacular. Jungle, picturesque hillside rice terraces and the awesome magnificence of Kintamani Volcano.
For those that want to stay wet, Bali offers a lot of choices. Snorkelling and wonderful day trips out to Nusa Penida for beach sports and coral viewing. If you prefer something more extreme then try scuba diving, the thrill of white water rafting or kayaking down the beautiful Ayung River or go to the western side of the island where you can find the best surfing beaches. If you want a break from the idyllic beaches then try the golf courses in the mountains at Bedugul and beachside at Nusa Dua. You want more? Then mountain cycling, organised rice paddy and jungle treks are giving you the opportunity to see places you will never forget.
If you want to party Bali is full of bars, discos and nightclubs. A dinner under a romantic moon would be a good choice before watching the spectacular Balinese Fire Dance or Kecak Monkey Dance.
The restaurants are cosmopolitan yet inexpensive. You can experience local delicacies like Nasi Goreng and Sate Campur but not only because you can find a truly international cuisine from italian to mexican. Don't forget to taste the Bali's wonderful seafood.
Bali, a truly international destination, offers every standard of accommodation ranging from charming yet modest bungalow style hotels in lush tropical gardens for the budget minded through to arguably amongst the most exclusive and sophisticated hotels in the world!
There are some places you have to visit. The spectacular Mother Temple at Besakih, the ancient capital of Bali, Singaraja and the floating palace at Ujung.
Bali offers shopping at unbelievable prices. You can find casual and tailored clothing, locally made jewellery, handicrafts, antiques and artifacts, leather handbags, leather jackets and coats. The street markets of Kuta, Sanur and Nusa Dua are the best places for shopping where bargaining could help you spend even less.
In conclusion here are the things you need to know, or to do. You need a passport with at least six months validity at the time of your arrival. After your arrival you'll be issued with a tourist card which is valid for a 60-day stay. Major credit cards are acceptable in most hotels along with American dollar traveller's cheques. Most hotels use 220 volts, 50 cycles and a round, two-pronged slim plug, you might need an adaptor for your appliance. Many taxis are not metered so it's wise to negotiate the fare before you climb aboard, or if you wish to hire a car you must posses an International Driver's Licence or licence from ASEAN countries. Bali's conditions are often humid so cotton or linen clothes are the most comfortable.
London is by far Europe's biggest city, spreading over an area of more than 620 square miles from its core on the River Thames. This is where England's news and money are made, and as far as its inhabitants are concerned, provincial life begins beyond the circuit of the orbital motorway.
Paris is one of the most captivating cities of the world. It would be hard to exhaust its diversity in a lifetime of visits. Each area looks different, feels different, and has its own style. Traditional and modern at the same time, Paris has always something different to offer.
With the most of its attractions lined up along the river Nile, Egypt receives visitors from all over the world. The Pyramids and the ancient monuments are really impressive and the services offered to the visitors are better than good. Your first destination should be Cairo, one of the most fascinating cities in the world. People of Cairo are friendly and polite and the city covers every price range, and quality.
