Bali in January

We have negociated our trip with the local agent and he could understand that our focus was culture - countryside - rest. The combination of all activitites has been nearly perfect. The stay at Kuta could be replaced by another place, even if the distance from the airport is bigger. We could enjoy the combination of beautiful sights - beautiful monuments - very friendly people. Bali is a must.

Our favourite parts were visiting Rumah Desa and Bagus Agro Pelaga, two offbeat and truly amazing places offering a completely different feel compared to touristy parts of Bali!

We changed our tour last minute to accommodate the kids a little bit more. We saw less cultural stuff i.e. temples and put in more water activities and shopping. The temples that we visited was amazing. We were lucky to have been there on a good day for locals to celebrate their beliefs so we saw a lot of celebrations at the various local temples. People preparing for cremation ceremony. Traffic on the road made it difficult to travel especially when you are on a bigger bus ( 20 passengers bus) need to take this into consideration when traveling with kids. Overall great trip.
