    Bali Pics

    Had a great time on my maiden voyage to Bali. Bladdy love the place. People are so nice and they speak great English. Never once did I feel cheated.. Taxi drivers stuck to their set pricing.

    Maybe i got lucky on my first visit? Are Balinese taxi drivers robbing opportunist cnts like the Thai's are in their touristy areas?


    First hotel near the beach was cheap, bogantastic and a bit average but OK as a base to explore the beach area (Nusa Dua). I went for dinner and drinks at the Grand Hyatt for NYE. I might have used their pool in the afternoon as well


    Ubud resort was amazing (cringe ) surrounded by jungle and rice fields and well away from the central town.


    For travelling i opted to take cars and drivers instead of risking death on a motorbike.. for £30 you can hire driver for 8 hours. So many more things to see and do for my next time there. Planning my next trip there for Songkran





    Nusa Dua Hotel






    Ubud Hotel















    Nusa Dua Beach & Mengiat Beach









    Uluwatu Coast & Dance Show









    Monkey Forest















    Luwak Coffee Tasting









    Tegalalang Rice Terraces












    Ubud Temple (forgot name)






    Holy Water Sebatu















    Batur Volcano & Lake












    Food Pics

    Did you sponsor this trip?

    And what tea did you buy at tea tasting place? Tried the catpoocino?

    This looks like the exact same van driver interiary that I took. Personally next time I'll just stay at hilton as spending 5 hours a day in a van doesn't appeal to me.

    Did you go to mountain view buffet lunch?

    Really nice pictures Punty and no, the Bali Taxi drivers don't pull shit on the punters like these Thai plebs try on.

    If I ever bail from this shithouse I'll rent a condo in Bali for sure.

    Really good spot when ya get ya stuff sorted.

    PS. Ya have very nice fingers.

    Some fine shots there punty.

    Bali is a good choice in Thailand's rainy season too.

    Maybe try Lovina beach up north next time.

    Two other small points.

    I recon that civic cat lamak coffee is fookin horrendous. Fook knows what plebs taste in it besides shit.

    And those rice fields ya visited.

    The old coont in the picture has been there for many years in the same fookin spot getting his picture taken. Makes a very nice wedge soliciting donations after the money shot.

    Good on him eh.

    You have to admire their sense of duty, though.

    A very professional set of photographs there Punter.

    Make the place sound great. I worked in Indonesia in the early eighties, which is the reason I never visited Bali. Maybe A mistake.

    Airport immigration at Don Mueang is a nightmare... I waited about 35 minutes in line to get my passport stamped.... both times

    In Bali it took about 5 minutes......both times

    The great thing about Bali is that one does not have to spend a huge amount of money to do it the Punty way, especially now in the low season.

    Some coonts complain about Kuta, crowds and the Pleb Aussies towing around his fat arsed tattooed bint and fugly kids.

    With an ounce of get up and go there are so many beautiful spots to found in Bali, the very reasonable price is the cream on top.

    Fooking great people as well.

    Nice pics, I’m heading there in June. Was supposed to go recently, but hit Thailand up again. Any recommendations other than the places you’ve toured would be cool. How are the prices comparatively to Thailand ie. Bangkok?

    Nice pics Punter. Can't green you again. Seems a lot of travel vloggers hit Bali. Looks a right nice place to tour.
    Lost LeBlanc comes to mind as well as many others.
    Again thanks for rubbing one out for us. I'm jealous now. I think I'll build a snowman or something today. I've got it......

    ice fish.

    Cheers.
