Indonesia, Bali

We stayed in Kuta which is Australia's overseas holiday resort at the sea. Lots of shopping and a long surfing beach.
We did a day tour of the island which was excellent. Booked a car ourselves which costs 300 000 rupiah for the day. We went to see the usual assortment of craft / batik / silverware / woodcarving factories each with the obligatory shop where you are meant to buy but we just looked briefly. We went to Ubud which is beautiful little town with a lot of art galleries. We wish we had more time to spend a few days here. Nearby is the monkey temple which has loads of fun monkeys with mohawks running around. Then we went to see the rice terraces at Tegallang which were amazingly beautiful. We then drove to Kintamani and saw Bali's massive volcanic crater which is spectacular. There are a few restaurants on the crater rim which have excellent views but we only had a drink as the food was very expensive. There are other local warung and some fruit stands nearby.
Then we went to a Hindu temple at Tampaksiring via a good coffee and spice growing place and then to Tanah Lot which is a temple which is best viewed at sunset. Great day out and a good way to see the amazing beauty of bali in a short time.
We also went white water rafting with Bali International Rafting which was great through stunning scenery. They were safe and had good equipment. Lunch and transport was included. They had a 50+% discount and it was 244 000 each. We booked through Baliku Tour Service next to Bali Garden Hotel.
We went to the Swiss restaurant in Legian which has traditional Balinese classical dance and a buffet for 30 000 a Thursday night. Very good value.
