Here is a short bit of information on Bali holiday adventures. Me and the family has been to Bali 4 times in the last three years and have always had the most exiting time in Bali. We have had some great experiences including some not so pleasing one's also.
One i can think of was when we visited the Bali safari park when my wife, son who was then 3 and my daughter who was 2 were having a photo taken with an orangutan which after were going to view the pictures taken when my little son slipped down the step and tumbled fore head first in to a post his face was absolutely covered in blood, the guide as me if he could pick him up and run to the first aid room with him. So i raced of following the worker of the Bali Safari park with my son and had his head all cleaned up and bandaged. I must say the staff did a great job of trying to look after my son.
We generally stay at the beach resorts which are always friendly and family orientated. The Jayakarta is a favorite as we have now stayed there on two visits to Bali and are planning to stay there for our next trip in 2011. Bali beach accommodation seems to be the preferred selection in my view as this is where i prefer to stay when visiting Bali. There is always friendly people everywhere you look, we have met some of the greatest people who we now call friends and keep in regular contact with.
There is so much Bali holiday accommodation available to choose from. Bali hotels and villas seem to be the most popular by far.
The Bali beach hotels seem to do a roaring trade and are also one of my favorites. When looking for bali holiday accommodation there are a number of factors you should be thinking of :
1. What are you looking to be doing on your holiday? are you looking to be staying in the resort or hotel quite a bit maybe lazing around the pool.
2. Do you like the fast living or do you just intend on taking it easy? There are numerous activities you can be doing in Bali, Surfing, Diving, Doing the slides at Water Bom Park, Visiting Ubud and the monkey forest or mabee having lunch at the volcano whatever the holiday you are on you can find a world of tours and activities.
I also love the beach and sitting down at one of the beach bars in the afternoon for a few quiet ones while the wife gets a pedicure and does a little bargaining and the kids are playing in the sand. You always end up in a group talking about your travels while we all are watching the sun go down.
If you like shopping then there is plenty of supermarket and shopping centres and you won't be able to miss the thousands of stalls selling products, clothing, ornaments and plenty more. I hope to fill you in on the next post.
So next time you are looking t

Surfers swarm to Bali year round in search of the perfect wave. With its warm waters and consistent breaks, Bali remains a top Indonesian and world surfing destination. Whether you stay in Bali or use it as a starting point for a wider Indonesian surf tour, Bali has over 20 top quality breaks, mainly on the southwest and southeast coasts of the island and the Bukit Peninsula. The beauty of surfing in Bali is that there is a wave to suit everyone, from beginners to experienced big wave riders. Bali is also not solely a surf destination. If the ocean’s flat, there are plenty of other attractions to keep you occupied!
Kuta (photo) and Legian Beach breaks are Bali’s best waves for beginners. At Kuta, surfing beginners can take advantage of the many surfing schools, stores, and rentals in the area. Kuta’s waves are friendly and consistent, making it the perfect place to learn to surf. Legian Beach, on Bali’s southwest coast, also offers good beginner surfing conditions. At Kuta and Legian Beach, surfing is not the only attraction. If you decide it’s not for you, then there are plenty of shops, bars and vendors to keep you busy!




Sebagai daerah yang terletak pada posisi yang strategis dalam wilayah propinsi Sumatera Barat, banyak menyimpan berbagai potensi keindahan alam dan budaya, Natural and freshly, serta kegiatan seni dan budaya yang unik dan menarik merupakan salah satu yang dapat dibanggakan apalagi didukung oleh kultur masyarakat rang Agam yang ramah-ramah.
Dari Embun pagi ini, bila anda turun menuju Danau Maninjau dengan kendaraan pribadi atau bus umum, maka anda akan melewati kawasan Kelok Ampek Puluah Ampek. Menjelang sampai di bawah, anda akan menjumpai aneka macam souvenir seperti topi dari anyaman pandan, tas kampia, koleksi kalung, gelang dari tulang serta tanaman menjalar buah labu yang berkhasiat obat sekaligus dapat dijadikan penganan.
Sedikit cerita tentang kota berhawa sejuk ini. Ada legenda yang melatarinya, yakni legenda Rawapening. Rawa ini memang terbentang amat luasnya. Rawa inilah yang menjadi sebab mengapa kota ini bernama Ambarawa, yang artinya rawa yang luas (amba=luas; bhs. Jawa). Dan, sampai saat ini Rawapening tersebut pun masih ada.
Semakin tinggi kita mendaki matapun takkan lelah memandang. Di kanan-kiri jalan setapak, yang mulus diberi paving block, terlihat pemandangan alam yang indah. Pepohonan pinus terlihat menjulang di kejauhan dengan pucuknya yang seolah hendak menusuk awan-gemawan. Makin ke atas udara makin dingin namun sangat menyegarkan. Kabutpun terus melingkar-lingkar di sekitar kita.




Ya, siapa pun orangnya, ketika memasuki kompleks, rasa takjub langsung hinggap di perasaan kita. Berdiri megah, di tengah rimbunan pepohonan yang tertata apik, dalam benak teringat pada film-film Harry Potter, dengan latar belakang kastil-kastil fantasi. Bangunan kastil dan gereja khas yang bisa ditemui hampir di setiap negara daratan Eropa itu, sering membuat kagum orang yang melihatnya.
Meski banyak yang hancur, namun beberapa diantaranya masih berdiri dengan megahnya. Dan sampai saat ini, bangunan kastil yang tersisa masih dipertahankan. Bangunan yang hancur sengaja dibiarkan, sebagai bukti sejarah, bahwa di tempat itu pernah terjadi perang dan pengambilalihan kekuasaan. Padahal jika pemerintah Jerman mau, membangun kembali kastil yang hancur agar bisa berdiri seperti sedia kala, atau berubah bentuk bisa saja dilakukan. Tetapi demi sejarah, pemerintah menganggap, pembangunan kembali bangunan yang hancur dirasa tidak perlu .
Setelah turun dari kastil, tak sempurna jika tidak menyempatkan diri mampir ke jembatan tua dekat Bismarckplatz. Dari jembatan yang berada di bawah, Kastil terlihat elegan. Kota wisata lain di Jerman yang menawarkan pesona "kekunoan" adalah Leipzig. Ketika Jerman Timur masih berbeda pemerintahannya, kota ini termasuk yang paling diandalkan sebagai pusat wisata.
