1. Pamper yourself

Enjoy your vacation in full

"Massaaage?" You hear every five minutes on the beach. Of course it is the island of Balito relax. So while your there, it's too good for body and soul to take.

In tourist areas, go to the spa on every corner. One of the best places to go is the Prana Spa in Seminyak. It is a luxury resort and care are well known and there are many to choose from.

Do you want healthy or spiritual? Bali balance, even in Seminyak, your site's health. This offer treatments such as, herbal remedies, massage, acupuncture andmany more.

2. Visit the Temple (or two)

But keep it limited

Most of Bali is Hindu and place in the practice of faith, which is obviously a Hindu temple. These temples are everywhere on the island, small, on the way to a temple to the village temple, the largest family size.

If you're going to Bali to spend your holidays, probably thinking of order, you will find some historical or cultural. Great, make sure you see aTemple to start and maybe, if you need to change, go to a ceremony. Although, my mistake in the previous holiday, I've seen too many of them. With nearly every day of the trip, was mentioned visiting a temple. This is why I recommend only a temple, and is a big no matter who you skip the rest.

Aka Pura Besakih Mother Temple
This temple is in any case, the "mother" of all the temples, and the hills of Mount Agung and is made with mAltars and temples dedicated to various deities. Take a guide will show you around, but be sure to haggle on the price.

3. Go Shopping

There is plenty for everyone

Ok, so maybe not your favorite thing to do (or maybe it is), but it's fun to go shopping in Bali If you are looking for clothes, souvenirs or art, there is enough choice for all i.

When you go shopping in Bali is a fact that must be done collective bargaining. If you ask the price, probably shocked by the height. But do not worry, the Balinese people expect to negotiate with you. I do not go in depth on "the art of negotiation", but these things are important: Keep smiling, determine the maximum amount you are willing to pay to explore more business, then only one, try to walk (because they could put a price much lower), and last but not least, enjoy!

Beware of imitations! There are many shops in> Bali, the label false. If you do not mind, go ahead, but keep the rules in your country if you go home.

The places where you are, what you want to buy every business need. For only a few clothes or souvenirs, you can stay around the tourist areas. For art, you are better off in Ubud or a small village nearby. For silver, you can go to Celuk. As you can see, there is a village that for every product. Ask around or read in atravel book to find out where to buy your stuff.

4. Watch a (Kecak) Dance

Be aware! The CAK CAK CAK may seem stuck in my head

Once again, the tourist culture focused should really visit a traditional Balinese dance. One of the most famous of them is the Kecak. In this dance will be held CAK CAK CAK sounds of a large group of men and dancers will tell you a story in the best clothes and costumes.

There are severalPlaces where there has been a Kecak, but a place is quite spectacular, the rock of the temple of Uluwatu. The dance begins shortly before sunset, so the setting is great and on the road, probably spot some monkeys. The boldness of personal items, these monkeys can be enough. Enjoy forget the sound, the dance and the sunset and make sure that no camera.

5. Laugh at some cheeky monkeys

But do not let them laugh at you

The animalRich in Bali is still pretty impressive. Apes are still living free and may be related to the wilderness. There are many places in Bali where you can see the monkeys, but most famous is the Monkey Forest in Ubud.

The Monkey Forest is home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques and the forest is a nice place to watch. There are no gates, so you can already spot the monkeys on the streets of Ubud.

Just before the entrance you can buy a few bananas. This is afun thing to do, but do not want the monkeys may be a little 'aggressive grabbed the bananas. So if you're afraid, just look at other people feeding the monkeys.

Macaques are quite funny, watching them at play, or play some crazy, but please do not bother them. You are the guest in their house so they can really angry if you disturb them.

Make sure that you bring out a camera, because there are some situations to be funny, but please look at the camera and otherMaterials. Some monkeys, petty criminals and there are many tourists who have lost their (expensive), jewelry and sunglasses there.

6. Watching a beautiful sunset

(Or two, or three, or ...)

The days are very hot in Bali. Every day is about 30 C / 86 f. The sun rises shortly after the 06 clock and it's time to sit back, relax, and for a cooler evening hours (around 24 C / 75 f) ready.

There are many places in Bali to see a great sunset,such as beaches spread. One of my favorite places on the beach, but the setting is quite unique. Tanahlot, is located 30 minutes from Kuta, is a great place to hang out at sunset. It is a sacred place for the Balinese and you can really understand why. There is a right to decide over ancient temple on a rock and a draw, if it is on the Internet.

Tanahlot is a tourist town, so be sure you're there on time and take a seat on a rock. Enjoy the magic andthe bright sky, preferably with a man she loved.

7. Run through the rain

If you have the opportunity

Travel guide to tell you many times that the best time of the dry season (March to October). Perhaps for many people (this is for all these months is crowded), but personally, I love the rainy season.

But, aware, however, it can rain pretty hard! The flooded roads can get a bit ', but for me it is still quite impressive.

Remember mewhich in general is not the rain all day and even every day. So if your trying to decide when to go, know that this season is also pretty good.

8. Eat, eat and eat

Selamat Makan!

Yummy! What a joy to eat at a Warung (local restaurant). For a few dollars / euros to eat a meal that is very satisfactory.

There are some good places on the island, where you can get a good Indonesian meal. It just takes a good look, some restaurants may be a bit 'less concentrated on the western side of the stomach, so that the "Bali Belly" is not unknown.

One where you are eating well and safely Warung Murah (ie economic Restaurant) located on Jl Double Six (Seminyak). You can order from the menu, but I recommend ordering from the buffet. Choose the type of rice (Plain white or yellow) and choose your meat and vegetables. Enjoy the food and the price to be paid (yup, it's cheap).

In addition to Indonesian cuisine, there are of course many moreOptions. Visit Jl Laksmana (aka Oberoi) for a wide range of different restaurants. There is something for everyone!

Selamat Makan (good appetite!)

9. Spot some dolphins playing

In Lovina, North Bali

Most tourist areas are located in the south. If you are here on vacation, consider if you plan everything from the island and a two-day trip (or more) to the north (Lovina), for example, want to see. On your way here (and on theReturn), you can choose to do some sightseeing, so the long journey is easy to do.

Make sure, before the maximum velocity and position, so you can relax and know that everything is organized. You can plan your trip with the driver and / or tourist information / refreshment Adventure.

When you get to Lovina, relax and go to bed early, because you wake up at five again count on you awake in the morning with a fishing boat for some local dolphins playing site.

It 'reallya fantastic journey, and I think every visitor should do it. In search of dolphins (this may take some time) you will see the sunrise in the back.

Please note that these dolphins are fast and it's more like a hunt, a look at a dolphin then a relaxing trip to the dolphins play just to see you next year. This was my first thought, but it's pretty hectic. But fun! And to see these animals is quite surprising. Get your camera ready and fast! For me it was impossible to get an ideathem.

10. Book your next trip

You will return to Bali

I have had many holidays. Sure it's fun, but it's always nice to go home. My first trip to Bali was a bit 'different.

I had to stay for three weeks and that should be enough, I thought. But when the end of the period was there, I was sad to leave.

My point is that people, Bali is a magnet for many. The tourists I spoke to, everyone saidthe same thing. They never just visit the island only once. Some Europeans were already in the 20th holiday in Bali, so each year they travel for many hours.

Bali is truly worth a visit. Over and over and over again ...
