Inspiring BALI

We just arrived from one of our most exotic trips, BALI, and I must confess it exceeded my expectations.

For those of you who haven’t been there, you’ll be surprise to hear (or read) that this island has much more apart from beautiful sandy beaches and surf addictive waves. The interior of BALI is planted with astonishing volcanoes and incredible landscapes, populated with traditions that have not yet been corrupted by tourism and beautiful temples, some of them hanging from breathtaking cliffs.

We had a lot of fun. Of course we also tried the most touristic attractions and spent some days surfing (or at least learning to!). I must say I enjoyed it a lot!! I am seriously considering giving it a real shot :)

I would definitely recommend this trip for those of you who do not believe that tourism can be environmentally harmless. If you follow my advice and spend sometime travelling the interior of Bali and mixing with local people you’ll find out that tourism does not always replace the local identity.

I nearly forget to mention that on our way to Bali we stopped at Kuala Lumpur (the plane departed from there, after a 5 hour bus from Singapore). We had the chance to admire the famous Petronas twin towers and get a taste of a city that has a very different atmosphere than other near capitals such as Bangkok of Phnom Penh. Both its people and its buildings make it a one of a kind.

Fan as I am to admiring things from a high perspective, I truly enjoyed our trip to the top of the towers!
