Kawah Ijen - a trip to the bowels of the earth

Catch nature unawares as she wakes up...or at least that's what it feels like when you are on the wonderful 2,329 metre high Mount Bromo, on the east of the island of Java. An absolutely spectacular and unforgettable moment.  If you don't appreciate nature then don't bother!

Bromo, the pearl of Java

If we have loved the Island of Gods, the pearl of Indonesia, which has had such great tourist success for many years now, we can't deny that it is suffering for its fame. The environment is deteriorating year by year, mainly due to the plague of plastic which is everywhere and which the government does nothing about. Rubbish is not treated and the plastic remains.

No to plastic

Bali is a paradise on earth, and it's not for nothing that it's called the Island of Gods. You need to stay there for several days if you really want to appreciate everything it has to offer. This is a brief presentation of the things to see in Bali.

Welcome to the Island of Gods and all its marvels.

Sidemen is a district in the east of Bali, known for its magnificent scenery and flat ricefields.

Selamat Detang! Indonesia was born under a lucky travel star: amazing deep sea diving, treks along a volcano rim, exquisite landscapes as varied as virgin jungle and terraced rice paddies, a cuisine of a thousand flavours. There is no doubt that the innumerable attributes of this country will delight travellers … But a trip to Bali or to Indonesia, is not only the discovery of incomparable natural wonders, it is also an encounter with an extraordinary culture. It is the largest archipelago in the world, with 13,000 islands (some say up to 17,000!), it is also the fourth most populated country in the world with 240 million inhabitants. With ancient connections to India and China, and later with the Middle East, what was once a trade route quickly became a crossroad for cultural exchange. This history explains why there are still, to this day, many religious practices (Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Animism), coexisting side by side in Indonesia.

Kuta is where you will no doubt first arrive and I advise you to not spend too long there <a href="/indonesia/">during your stay in Indonesia</a>.   This city has no charm, it is noisy, polluted, and full of mostly Australian tourists who are spending time partying in the cool night clubs and drinking beer on the beach in the daytime. I stayed there a day and that was more than enough. I was keen to go to the beach because Kuta is a mythical surfing spot, so I rented a surfboard for two hours and tried to imitate the pros. I had fun, if not also feeling a little afraid, as the waves can turn out to be very dangerous. Also pay attention to pickpockets on the beach! In the city centre, I found a development of restaurants, cafes and hotels serving western dishes to tourists. The street vendors sell souvenirs at extravagant prices. 
 So I quickly went back on the road to discover other, much nicer, places.

A town unpopular with travellers, Kuta is and will remain for me a place for surfers and travellers (Australian for the most part) in search of binge drinking parties. Boutiques, massage parlours, bars, hotels and restaurants line the streets. Here, nothing is Balinese. Everything is tourist-oriented. Prices are exorbitant for mediocre quality. Nevertheless, if you look hard enough, you always find a cheaply priced warung or guesthouse offering good services. In spite of all this, the town is ideal for learning to surf and for partying while <a href="/indonesia/"> travelling in Bali </a>. Near the airport, Kuta is a practical stop when you have an early morning flight to catch. A day or two days are enough to appreciate the little that the town has to offer and not suffocate in this tourist mass.

Ultra tourist-oriented town of Bali, Kuta is known for its beaches, its waves and its many Australian tourists.
