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

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!

A trip to Bali is a series of discoveries, spiritual, cultural, culinary and also of sports. Surfing is one of the attractive facets of the island. Bali with its varied beaches, of sand and of reefs, washed by warm turquoise waters, is a real surfing paradise. There are waves for all tastes and levels. So, hesitate no more and take the plunge!

Gianyar is a town that tourists don't visit often because it is an administrative centre but it's district includes some of Bali's main attractions.
The only thing in the town itself that I can really recommend is the night market which is quite impressive. It is very big and there are few tourists. The food is exquisite, although very spicy, and different from what you find in other places because it is not designed for tourists. I recommend you try babi guling (spit roasted pork), a Balinese specialty - it's a real treat!
The town doesn't have much accommodation. And that was what attracted me to the town, the absence of tourists.
And the town is also geographically well placed: 20 minutes from Ubud and the Bali Safari and Marine Park by scooter, or 30 minutes from the beach...
