My First Visit To Bali . . .


Was around, 1997.  Bali had never been a destination on my list.  We have all heard the stories, badly behaved tourists, drinking too much, treating the Balinese with disrespect.  I didn't want to be a part of that scene.

However, some friends returned after a month there, I saw their photos, listened to their stories, wrote down their tips and was keen to explore Bali for myself.

Two nights in Legion, enough time to get accustomed, hire a car and we were off, on a journey that was meant to take us around the entire island within a month.  This is very doable and I highly recommend it.

After such a wonderful time in Amed, we nearly made the full circle of the island of Bali (with a detour to Lombok) but decided Amed, was the place we really liked the most and decided to back-track and head back there for our last few days on Bali - before hitting the madness of Kuta and Legion before heading home.
