This was my first international holiday and wow was I impressed! We started the adventure with 2 very long flights from Cape Town South Africa to Bali, Indonesia. Our first hotel was the Tjampuhan Spa in Ubud. This area is so beautiful walking along the street we crossed a bridge road and the hole town is basically above a huge river, spectacular! Shop and restaurants everywhere where you can get anything you need. The are plenty of ATM’s if you need to draw cash (make sure to notify your bank of travel before you do so)
My daughter was too so impressed with the beautiful scenery this is really a family destination.
While in Ubud we visited the rice terraces, Monkey park, Zoo and the Tirta Empul Temple (water temple)
Our second hotel was the Bali Rani in Kuta this was quick stay but we did get to visit Waterbom the best water park in all of Bali!!
Grand Mirage family resort in Nusa Dua was a fabulous finish to an amazing holiday.
The best part about traveling as a local guide is that you get to review places in other countries and answer questions for people who have never been there before. Another great thing is you can connect with other local guides and read the review of local guides in whichever country you are visiting, of they are doing it for the same reason I am then I trust their reviews.
Bali has been on my to-go list since my boss went and shared his photos and experience, and recapping your holiday there makes me want to work harder to finally get there
