For leisure and recreation, there are so many activities on hand, like trekking, white water rafting, mountain climbing, eco tours, and all sorts of water sports and marine activities. There will be several brochures in the airport offering such services, or you can check them out online as well. Kids may enjoy the Bali Zoo or the Bali Safari and Nature Park.
Wellness spas and treatment centers are growing in number in Bali, so this can be an option for those weary souls seeking a bit of solace from their hectic lives.
There are several establishments that offer cooking classes, meditation classes, Balinese dance and music classes.
For shoppers, aside from the fact that agriculture is also a major source of income, especially rice, Bali is also famous for wood carvings, stone carvings, painted art and silverware. You will notice this when you drive by several villages typically specializing in a single product, such as stone fountains or wooden furniture. It will certainly be a shopping extravaganza for any shopaholic.
Finally, I always advise anyone going on a trip, to always take note of some important facts that one needs to know about one’s destination, like telephone numbers and hotlines of the police, hospitals, banks, credit card companies, ports, airport, bus stations and the tourist office. There is a feeling of security I normally get, knowing that basic facts were researched before the trip.
Bali has been one of the most memorable trips I have ever taken.
There was a sense of calm that I felt while on the island, and just being among the locals made me feel quite at peace. I can see why novels have been written about it, or even movies as well. It is a captivating island that has truly enchanted me in many, many ways. I hope you will also enjoy the tranquility of Bali!
