Photo of the Day: Loo with a View
There?s comes a time on your travels on the island of Bali when nature calls and you just-gotta-go. Out in the countryside of Bali the toilets are a little bit less to be desired and somewhat unclean as compared to your hotel in Kuta or even at home. There in front of you is a [...]
Take a Walk Around the Garuda Wisnu Kencana Complex
One of the nicest attractions on the Bukit Peninsula south of Tuban is GWK or Garuda Wisnu Kencana. It?s quite an imposing feature but nonetheless an interesting place to explore and enjoy. The Garuda Wisnu Kencana complex, situated on a limestone hill in Jimbaran, is an integrated cultural centre with a 140 meter-high statue as [...]
Five Things to Do in Denpasar
The capital of Bali ever since it gained independence from the Dutch, Denpasar is a bustling and energetic city but, you either love it, or, you hate it. It?s that kind of city. Denpasar literally means ?by the market? and is Bali?s only real city. A lot of people don?t like Denpasar but I find [...]
Pura Lingsar: West Lombok
Lombok?s holiest temple is Pura Lingsar. Originally built by the Balinese in 1714, its construction was aided by the Sasak Muslims on the island. Thus the temple is a blend of two religions; Balinese Hindu and Wektu Telu; the latter being the religion practiced by the indigenous people of Lombok.
The temple is divided; the Hindu [...]
Customs in Bali on the Ball
We all know the scrutiny and other practices in the past of the Customs at Ngurah Rai Airport in Denpasar. At times they give you the shits but hey, they have a job to do even though at times we find it frustrating. After what has happened to travellers in the past with regard to [...]

Apart from the usual tourist spots such as Tirtagangga the east is relatively untouched by the ?tourism hand?. East Bali is sometimes referred to as the Real Bali by foreign visitors. Here you will [...]
Temples of Bali: Pura Ulun Danau Batur
The area around Kintamani is fascinating with so much to see and do. The main attraction of the area is undoubtedly the views most tourists have of Gunung Batur and Danau Batur. Visiting the shores of Danau Batur is also an excellent side-trip if you have the time. But, it?s not only the aforementioned places [...]
Photo of the Day: Singaraja
Singaraja is often referred to as Lion City and is a photographers delight. Located on the north coast just east of Lovina, Singaraja was once the capital of Bali under Dutch colonial administration. It is a place not renowned for people to stay overnight or for a few days and most travellers travel further along [...]
Monuments On the Chopping Block in Bali?
I have seen and photographed literally thousands of statues and monuments on my travels over the decades, and, a heck of a lot in Indonesia. I enjoy looking at the statues and monuments that grace roundabouts, crossroads and other various positions in the towns and villages throughout Bali. But, experts in the Balinese Government say [...]
