Its true how movies inspire you to take a step ahead and see the unseen. It was the Eat Pray Love moment and we three were on board for Bali to make some beautiful memories.
The interesting part is the currency conversion. 1 INR = 197 IDR :P So you pay in thousand for a cup of tea and millions for a meal. A billionaire stint in life ;)
Indonesia has been ruled by Dutch for centuries by invading via Dutch East India Company. It was also invaded by Japanese during World War II. The landscape of Bali changes almost every 40 km. From hills to upscale city life to mountains to rice terraces to beautiful temples to waterfalls and mountains. The rich vegetation is owing to the volcanic nature of the island.
Bali is a Hindu state so don't be surprised when you see gigantic statues of Hindu Gods adorning the streets.
Now you may dig the pictures...
Our top picks:
Indian Eats: Rang Mahal, Kuta Square
Nightlife: La Favella, Seminyak
Luxury escapes: Ayana Resort and Spa, Jimbaran.
Luncheon: In rice fields near Ubud.
Water sports: Nusa Dua
Wildlife: Ubud Monkey Forest
If you are game for authentic delicacy, do try a special cup of Luwak coffee.
Kopi Luwak is the world's most expensive coffee. The high price is due to the uncommon method of its production. It is produced from the coffee beans which are digested by Indonesian civet cats. The coffee is then collected from their poop and then processed and sold.
Yes believe it or not, its true.
Till my next blog, Selamat Tinngal (good bye)
