Travel time: 4 days (April 2012)
Number of countries visited: 1
Distance travelled: To Ubud and back – its not far
Mode of transport: Taxis and tuk tuks
Hours spent swimming/floating/soaking in water: 48 at least!
Favourite bits: The amazing hospitality of the Balinese people, splashing out on the most amazing pool villa in Ubud, watching the sunset from the Aquatonic spa.
Least favourite bits: Watching Australians shame themselves in Kuta, finding a bumper sticker for sale that read ‘up the bum, no baby!’
For Australians Bali is the place that you either love or hate. Being just 3.5 hours flight from Perth it ends up being the sort of place that people go to get ridonkulously drunk for cheap… it certainly doesn’t attract the highest class of Australian citizens!
After saying for a very long time that I would never go I happened upon some cheap flights over the easter break… so why not? Given the very short timeframe, and having jobs to go back to, meant that we were able to splash out on nicer accommodation without fussing about the budget. We ended up having a lovely time!
