The geger beach was the nicest one because it was long a with lots of spots to lay down and eat. A big shout out to Wayan our guide from Rio Bali tours.He went to the temple and stood in line to get us tickets to the Uluwatu Kecak dance.so we didn't have to stand…”

Notre point de prise en charge était à Senggigi à l’autre bout de l'île mais nous n’avons pas vue le temps passer puisque Junaidi nous a parlé de culture et d’histoire tout le long du trajet. Un arrêt à Sukarara pour voir le tissage antique nous immerge dans la vie rurale du passé avec évidemment la boutique à la fin, mais sans qu’on sente de pression. Snorkelling par la suite à 2 reprises et nous avons eu la chance de voir des requins grâce aux connaissances des lieux de l’équipe. Bon repas…”

The cave was amazing, the areas we were taken to for snorkeling were awesome.”
