Bali can be quite daunting for first timers, but the pushy shop owners, the mad traffic and street vendors are all part of the charm. These exotic sights and the wonderful smells are the magic will haunt you long after you get back home.
It is quite easy get away from all of the crazy hustle and bustle of Kuta by getting out into the country. In 20 minutes you can be sitting at a little Warung, beside a rice paddy, talking to the locals and feeding the baby chickens that peck gently at your toes when you are eating home made Satay.. The wonderful locals who are always happy to help you with directions or to chat or just sit quietly in a beachfront restaurant as you all watch the sun go down.
All these memories will sustain you on those cold nights back in Australia when your thoughts again return to Bali. The island of the gods.
