My take on Bali after a 4 weeks holiday.
Just left Bali after 4 awesome weeks of exploring the wonderful island and a small bit of it's neighbour Lombok. Just thought I'd share my 2 cents on my experience in case anyone was interested! I spent 4 days in Candidasa (loved it), 5 in Ubud (also loved it) 4 in Gili Meno…

Where can you experience the local life?
I'm going to visit Bali in upcoming months. Most probably will stay for 1-2 weeks. I know it's not enough to explore anything, but I'll like to make the best out of it. The thing is, I'm not interested in bars, clubs and the night life vibe. I want to experience the Balinese…

Manggis/Candidasa
We are renting a villa in Candidasa and doing some diving out of Panangbai and Tulamben. Half of our group wants to trek Batur volcano. Is it feasible to do a day trip to Seminyak or Kuta or is the traffic just a nightmare and not worth it? Should we go to Ubud for a trip or…

"My wife needed a special anti biotic which wasn’t readily available. The ladies on the front counter ordered some which were delivered to our hotel four hours later. This was on a Sunday. Great service and lovely people

"We thought our son had malaria whilst here on holiday. We went to this medical centre to enquire about tests, and ended up having blood tests for dengue, typhoid, bacterial infections and viruses, and a platelet count. Really happy with the services of (lady) Dr Intan and her nurse, who came out to our accommodation to see our son and take blood. They were very gentle, and the nurse was excellent at taking blood from a child. We had the blood results later that evening: it wasn't malaria, but he did have other infection, so we were prescribed antibiotics, anti inflammatories and probiotics, which we also got from the centre. Would definitely recommend this centre as we had a positive experience. Very good English speaking assistance."
