Entry from: Sanur, Indonesia Entry Title: “Bali, Indonesia” Entry: “Arrived in Sanur, Bali after a mammoth 20 hour journey from London, absolutely knackered, but looking forward to nearly 3 weeks of solid scuba-diving. This was my 2nd visit to Bali, my first one being in September 2005. After checking into the lovely Swastika Bungalows in Sanur village, the first thing i realised was that i had forgotten to pack all my Dive ID cards & log books. Bugger. Thats torn it. Thankfully there was a savior in Kirsty at home, who managed to grab by Dive ID cards, scan them on her PC & email them to me in Indonesia, & i managed to get a copy of them printed off in the hope that the Dive Shop would accept it! Then she kindly arranged for Fedex express delivery to send my cards & log book, guaranteed in 5 days to our hotel in Bali. Maybe this was an omen for me not to dive this holiday…. Next problem: Flying out of Bali. Our cheap flight deal meant the flight from Bali did not suit us, so we were to change it when we arrived. Unfortunately, all flights on the day we needed to depart for Malaysia were full – owing to the 50th year Independence day celebrations on 31st August in Malaysia. So, before we could start enjoying ourselves, we needed to sort something out, & after 24 hours of huffing & puffing, Air …

Entry from: Bali, Indonesia Entry Title: “Bali…The land of beaches where you can’t swim” Entry: “There are so many preconceptions when it comes to Bali Amazing beaches, parties, sunsets, shopping, decadent food, Hinduism and temples. Indonesia is the biggest archipelago in the world with over 15, 000 islands made by volcanoes. It seems there are world class disasters here every year. It’s hard to classify that many islands and cultures as one country, that’s why there have been so many dictators in Indonesia’s history, unity through the old iron fist. They recently lost East Timor to independence and are likely to lose more as they stride towards democratization. Indonesia is mostly Muslim, the largest Muslim nation in the world and has the 4th largest population in the world. However, the people of Bali aren’t Muslim. They are a distinctly different culture than the people of Java, Indonesia’s second largest island and most populated. Java has Jakarta, dubbed the “Big Durian” and most of the country’s history. Sumatra is the biggest island, but the most devastated by the Boxing Day Tsunami that usually gets associated with Thailand. Indonesia lost over 220000 lives, Thailand around 5395 with another 2000 missing, but some were of European decent so the media deemed them worthy and thus Thailand …
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Denpasar, Indonesia by TravelPod blogger Deanandliz titled “Bali – land of temples and smiles” Deanandliz’s travel blog entry: “Sanur – Dive course – PADI Open Water 3 days training and 1 fun dive day Sat: Picked up at 0725 for the dive course, and had our first glimpse of Bali with daylight. Temples, lots of temples, not necessarily big, but plenty all the same where people leave offerings of flowers and incense. Dive school was down a super narrow alley opening up into courtyard and pool where we met Paul (Dean dive instructor). Dean’s skills went well and Paul made it fun by underwater races and break dancing as well as being precise, organised and professional. Great to be back in 30C heat instead of 11C in Sydney! Sun: more of the same, Lizzie relaxing by the pool, Dean on his dive course. Changed accommodation to be just opposite the dive centre in a beautiful hotel Puri Sidha Mertha. Mon: Off on a 2.5hr mini bus ride passing paddy fields, little villages and great scenery to Tulamben. The best thing about Bali, everyone is happy..even in a traffic jam you can see smiles and laughter. A very happy place – we love it. Dean went diving and Lizzie snorkeled the wreck, saw a massive shoal of Jacks and felt dizzy from them swimming around and around you! Dinner with Paul, Mandy, Laura (who is Trini and predictably a distant relative of a Kelshall, parents cousins or something.. small world) and Tom. Dean qualified as a …
