I've been looking forward to going to Bali for a long time. For nigh on twenty years in fact, it has been up near the top of my 'Gotta Go' list, but there's always somewhere else that has just nudged its way ahead because of convenience, or price. Or those words that cannot be ignored: "No, I want to go to....", accompanied by a look that says 'ignore at your peril'...
So when a business trip allowed me to visit Bali for a night and day, I was not going to argue. My meetings were mostly in Kuta, the first planned hotel fell through so I ended up at the Padma Bali. The website looked promising, there was going to be a couple of hours of free time, so I packed my swimming trunks and sunblock. Here we go!
Arrival
All was looking good as the plane eased to a halt in front of the terminal and the steps were pushed up. I smiled ...
Advantages: Hot, sunny, cheap food and a local KFC!! Disadvantages: Dirty, not nice beaches and the sea was too rough!
As you can tell by the title Bali was not my ideal holiday - do apologise to anyone that loves it!
Bali was part of a three centre holiday that included Bangkok and Hong Kong in October 2001. Bangkok was for the first three nights, Hong Kong for the last two nights and Bali was the nine nights in the middle.

When we got to Bali we were taken to Grand Bali Beach in Sanur, the reception was very impressive, lots of marble and escalators being the focal attraction, surrounded with lush greenery. We were given our room keys and found we were staying in one of the garden view rooms, these we like little chalets that were ...

I've been to Bali three times in my life. And I must suggest you to go there! =) First of all, mentioning beach, Bali has a lot of beautiful beaches, including Kuta beach, Legian beach, Sanur beach and many more. It is well-known in Bali for spending time watching sun-being-set in the mouth of the coast. It was wonderful. The seas are somehow blue, reflecting the meaning of the real sea, what should it be. Second, the shopping center. It is growing everyhwere, with some international brands take participation. Third, the place to stay. It is very easy in Bali to find out the place to stay, even for a night only. Hotels, ranging from 1-star until 7-star are there to serve you, with good and acceptable standard. Four, the society. Bali is known as one international island in Indonesia, and of course, English language is likely to be spoken ...
