Bali, Indonesia

I have been to some of the most amazing, spectacular places around the globe, and Bali tops the list.  My friends and colleagues ask me, “Is Bali really paradise, is it really that nice” and I say “YES”.  I was in awe when I arrived here and the locals were really friendly.  During my time I rented a motor bike and the driver took me around to all the tourist spots.  My recommendation, forget the car and rent a motor bike and see this magical island with the wind blowing through your face and hair.  Why be stuck in some car, boringgggggggg.  This is one beautiful place so everything from the outside is better.

I was walking from breakfast on my second day here and happened to find someone with a sign on his bike, “rent my bike” so I negotiated a price for a few days and I had the time of my life.  It is cheaper and more authentic then finding some over-priced tour group on the island and being stuck to a particular agenda.  This place is swarming with motor bikes, so it should not be a problem hiring a local.  The picture above, my bike I rented during my time in Bali.

Bali, not only is it a gorgeous place with its lush greenery, clear skies and sparkling blue waters, but there is also a wealth of things to do in Bali. The best part about Bali is that it caters to everyone, and perfect for honeymooners.  The weather is phenomenal and it just feels like heaven on earth.

There are an abundance of villas and places to stay in Bali, and a private villa is the most exquisite way to vacation in Bali. With a private villa or the traditional tropical Bali resort, you get a chance for the ultimate in rest and relaxation and the tranquility is insurmountable.  Many of the private villas in Bali boast a pool along with private beach access, so you will not have to go far for some much needed time in paradise.

When in Bali, there are also many areas that are great for shopping.  The shopping in Bali will astound and amaze you with all the items that you will be able to find.  The feel is superbly tropical and you will definitely have the feeling that you are “away from it all” which is truly what is supposed to feel like.

The greatest part about Bali is that you can truly feel isolated and away from it all or you can choose to be social in many of the truly magnificent dining arenas, bars and nightclubs, which are in abundance.  This place is rocking with bars and nightclubs, at least where I stayed in the Kuta Beach area.  Kuta Beach is one of the most popular places to stay in Bali, but if you really want to get away from it all, some vacationers choose to stay in Ubud, which is another option.  Bali is charming, traditional, romantic, and beautiful, what could be better.  It truly is paradise !
