Short Stay in Bali

If I were staying in South Bali, I would get up and go for a walk north on this fantastic beach that runs from the airport in the south past Legions, Kuta, and Seminyak, and beyond for at most another five km. This clearing of sand is buffeted by the type of surf that put Bali on the chart for backpacking boarders in the nineteen sixties. Get involved in a volleyball game with some locals, rent a bench or chair, take surfing lessons, buy a beer from one of the numerous vendors or get a massage from one of the veteran masseuses, it is a rather mellow sight that stretches as far as the eyes can see.

Moreover, let's say that you must get from Seminyak to Kuta quickly, using the beach route is the fastest and most attractive route to getting there as of yet. In the afternoon, I would go to one of the many great Seminyak restaurants for lunch, later I would go to one of the numerous clubs spontaneously. If I were staying in Ubud, I would get a room and simply chill out. I might stir to go for a walk through the river valleys and rice fields, but I would soon return and stay by the pool. I would absolutely make time to wander the streets checking out some of the great little shops, which seem to emerge like mushrooms after the rain. In fact, at night, I would go to watch one of the enchanting dance performances provided all over town at venues. After that, I would go out and eat alfresco at a fine neighborhood restaurant. Grab a shot of Cappuccino and get ready to drink in some fresh air. Then, take a leisure walk along the breezy paths of South Bali.

On the next day, I would make my way to Pura Tanah Lot ("Temple of Land in the Middle of the Sea"), one of Bali's most famous sea temples, for a fascinate sight, especially at sunset. Tanah Lot temple stands on a rocky island just off the south west coast of Bali. The temple itself was told to be guarded from evil by the sea snakes stays in the caves below.
The temple itself is not reachable to tourists, however good views can be had from a variety of hotspot nearby. Visitors especially gather on the verandas in the vicinity to watch the glow of the sunset behind Pura Tanah Lot. Of course I would not miss this.
