Bali is a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, so immaculate
and picturesque that it could almost be a painted backdrop. This tropical
paradise has a unique blend of modern tourist facilities combined with a rich
past and heritage. The Balinese people are proud of having preserved their
unique Hindu culture against the advance of Islam, the dominant religion
throughout Indonesia. This is still reflected in day to day life and can be seen
in the numerous ceremonies, Balinese festivals and the magnificent temples and
palaces.
Some of the best surfing beaches in the world can be found on the western
side of the island, whilst on the eastern side, is a wonderful haven for
families with beautiful white sand beaches and gentle seas. The rice paddies
trip down hillsides like giant steps, its volcanoes soar up through the clouds
with a dense tropical jungle carpet, long sandy beaches, warm blue water,
crashing surf and friendly people. In Bali spirits come out to play in the
moonlight, every night is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to
have a good time.
Bali is the perfect holiday destination for all ages offers something for
everyone, a shopper's paradise, particularly for casual and tailored clothing,
locally-made jewellery, handicrafts, antiques and artefacts. Leather ware is one
of the unexpected local bargains with everything from handbags through to tailor
made leather jackets and coats. Try bargaining at the street markets of Kuta,
Sanur of Nusa Dua or fixed price shopping at a Denpasar department store.
