Traveling has given me countless escapes that only happen in movies. It gives me the rush, the Motivation and the boost that I need to get on with my life and not worry about the setbacks that I have experienced. In addition, it consciously calms me down. Seeing and meeting new places and new people, trying food that is both strange and delicious and new in my Palette, and experiencing activities that I thought were impossible have given me a new meaning, and that is enjoying life. And one of my last trips is to a place that many have called paradise, and this is a small Indonesian island called Bali.
Bali is known for its forested and volcanic mountain landscapes, stunning Hindu architecture, incredible coral reefs and iconic beaches that most people have been looking for for more than a week. Although Indonesia is a predominantly Muslim country, almost 80% of the Balinese or Balinese practice Hinduism, which explains its magnificent temples and structures. And in my experience, it was surreal and memorable, even if it was only a 5-day adventure. Bali opened my eyes to the beauty of the world, surprised me and pulled me off my feet. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Itineraries play a key role in your vacation and determine if you can take advantage of every opportunity to explore and enjoy where you are going. Exploring destinations and activities is important for your overall experience, as well as for where you will stay (ESPECIALLY at Airbnb Homes in Ubud). So, if you are planning to visit Bali soon, take a moment to read my 5-day experience and my itinerary for this little paradise. The List of the main activities mentioned below in Bali Indonesia will definitely make your trip an epic experience:
Day 1: An unforgettable visit to Edge Bali Resort
The room was very clean and comfortable. This is a high-end luxury resort in Bali and from what its photos had to offer, I had no problem placing it on the first day. Upon arrival at Ngurah Rai Airport, I chartered a private car to get to the famous resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Upon arrival, I paid for the entrance and an additional fee to access the VIP lounge. The staff was very friendly and helpful. For me, it was a lot because the VIP entrance was expendable, which means that you can spend the amount you paid and have access to the best place in the resort.
The scenery was already breathtaking because you could already see a full view of the Indian Ocean, but what is even more awesome when you dive into the infinity pool with a transparent glass bottom and you see the bottom of the cliff from which it is suspended. Talk about luxury at an affordable price! This is a truly fascinating and captivating place that is definitely worth every penny. There are also beaches nearby and shopping centers that are definitely worth it. The swimming pool is one of the fun things to do in Bali with children, and this resort offers ideal conditions for this.
Things to bring:
Swimsuit and a lot of time to relax
Activity:
Swimming Pool
Casual Drinking
Chewing food! (my favorite)
Relaxing Spa
Tourism
Day 2: Experience a religious and peaceful atmosphere at the Uluwatu Temple
On the second day, I visited the famous Uluwatu Temple, a well-known historical and religious site in Bali. Just 11 minutes from the edge, the temple is located on a fascinating cliff that offers one of the best landscapes and moments of images in the world.
As a place of worship, visitors must wear Sarongs or shoulder covers to respect the sanctity and rules of the temple. Monkeys are present in the temple and are considered its guardians. Be aware, however, because these fast and agile animals can take your belongings immediately if you are not vigilant and careful enough, resulting in a high-speed hunt that I personally experienced and who loses my sunglasses to these cute and hairy creatures. The Uluwatu Temple was a solemn and peaceful place that calmed my soul and revived my energy. The staff was very friendly and helpful. This Bar offers you a place to have a drink and relax while watching the sunset in a Beanie bag! How relaxing can it be? Then, at 18:30, I returned to the temple to see the Kecak fire dance, a wonderful show famous for its wonderful dance techniques and costumes.
Things to bring:
Note: a little more breath (so as not to be removed from the landscape), sunscreen, a good cell phone camera or DSLR, bananas and peanuts (bribe for monkeys)
Activity:
Hunting/monkey hunting (which means spending time tracking down the monkeys in their forest houses near the temple and hunting them when they take their stuff, LOL!)
Meditation and reflection in the temple
Take a lot of pictures
Watching the sunset
Relax on the nearby beaches
Kecak Fire Dance
Day 3: Unlimited fun on Padang Padang beach
For my third day, I decided to relax on a beach near my last destination. Famous as one of the best viewpoints for the sunset in Bali, this beach has attracted many tourists for its beauty. The locals call it Padang Padang.
Padang Padang Beach is a fantastic place, especially if you are a beach lover like me. Getting that natural tan while enjoying the sound of the waves and the view of the ocean that turns bluer over the mile is really an irreplaceable sight. Although it has already taken care of many tourists, Padang Padang Beach still gives you a feeling of privacy because few people visit it at the same time. Surfing is also a popular activity here and the great thing is that you can rent a surfboard and try to ride the waves. Never in my life have I thought about surfing, but as the adventurer that I am, I got out, I got out of the ocean, I turned to the beach, I waited for a good wave and I rode like a pro… for 2 seconds! It was much shorter than expected, but hey, it wasn’t bad for a beginner. And finally, you have these parties that you organize at night, which allows you to enjoy the nightlife on the beach, but unfortunately, this was only thrown out on weekends, (sigh) sad. Well, at least I taught this wave a lesson for 2 seconds, next time I’ll do it 3!
