Holidays! The word evokes thoughts of long serene days soaking in the sheer wonder of not being at work. For those who love to travel, Bali is an adventure playground, a spiritual retreat, a shopping wonderland and a place where love can bloom.
Bali, which is part of Indonesia, an archipelago in south east Asia; deep blue oceans and white, grey or black beaches enclose the tropical island which is a diverse landscape of volcanoes, rivers and fertile farming land. Due to its small size, day tours are very easy to achieve and there are a range of popular activities to engage in.
Hinduism, the religion of the majority of the population, is often attributed as the reason for the lovely gentle nature which exudes from the island people and on the Hindu New Year, silence falls across the countryside, cars stay parked, and talking is kept to a minimum. The locals are spiritual and calm peoples and the world seems more relaxed. The wet season runs from November to March and the Dry Season from April to October.
Holidays for all ages and budgets are catered for with a number of different resorts offering activities which mean their guests don’t have to leave their walls. Parents are never short of a baby sitter for a night out; Balinese are known for their love of children and will treat them as their own and shower them with love and smiles. Attractions across Bali are designed to be child friendly.
Open ocean kayaking has become quite popular in recent times, water rafting, dive boats, snorkeling tours and boat tours are available.
Culinary lovers will enjoy getting off the beaten path and participating in a cooking class, even if you are new to cooking, be inspired by the knowledge you can garnish from the local chefs. Cooking classes will generally commence with a trip to the fresh vegetable and fish market, followed by a visit to a local coffee shop and then on to the cooking class. The recipes which are made throughout the day will be supplied as well as the opportunity to eat all the delicious prepared food.
Food always tastes better in a different country, possibly because you realize how much it cost to get to the country to eat the food, which makes you savor and enjoy it more. Bali has a great range of eateries from cheap sidewalk cafes, to multi-cultural European and African food as well as western style fast food places. Many top chefs from around the world have opened restaurants in Bali, and are a divine occasion to experience.
It is easy to return home from Bali energized and feeling very spiritual due to the contact with the local people, they have so little, but still give so much, including their winning smiles and constant, undivided attention.
