I have just returned from 17 days in Bali and can't stop smiling. It was my first visit and I must say that at times before Xmas, I felt unsure about going. But I want everyone to know that at all times I felt safe. I did not go to Kuta at all, but stayed in Legian, Sacred River Retreat and also Ubud. I promised every Balinese person I met that I would do all I could to encourage Australians to come back to Bali as they are suffering terribly. My time there was filled with precious 'Bali moments'and I feel as if I have been cleansed spiritually, physically and mentally. I encourage you wholeheartedly to go there for a rejeuvenating holiday and to help the Balinese.
