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.

Denpasar is the main city of Bali island, it is to and from here that domestic and international flights land and take off.

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.

In my opinion you should avoid this town if you want to explore a Bali that is authentic. But at the same time, Bali is an island that is changing rapidly and this sort of development is appearing all over the island. So Legian is perfect if you want to go shopping or have a good hotel or restaurant. The beaches are also OK and you can surf there. Legian beach is probably the second most popular one in Indonesia, after it neighbour Kuta's. Double Six beach is also very popular. There are some very nice beach clubs near the sea where you can drink cold bintangs, like the young Balinese! I personally spent 5 months in Indonesia and my feelings about Legian are mixed: it's very nice to wander around, but at the same time the town is very busy and the number of scooters quickly becomes tiring. What I did like was going to the beach at night, during the week, because there was absolutely no one else there, and I could enjoy the beach while watching the fire works which I could see in the distance most evenings.
