January 2012 - by Nigel Saywell-Lee

What a day, more on Bali as this really is a place of considerable contrasts, I fully intend to take you around the coastline, cover Bali Private Rental Villas and this I will do. But you cant just visit this island for the sea alone you have to know about the inner workings of this place. At least thats what I think, as to come here and just view the Indian Ocean from the shores would mean that you would leave this Island having missed its great outdoors. Perhaps this is my way to justify my ramblings at this junction no doubt you can share your comments if you feel that I am deviating from the important subject that are dear to you. I believe this blog to be an exciting blog, packed full of thrill seeking events, as I pen this blog I am still full of adrenalin from the trip that I have taken on the river Telaga Waja.. Today was a great day it was one packed full of activity, it was a day for the river and the river that we chose was the river Telaga Waju. It is a fast river categorized as a 3/4 on the Richter scale of white water, I believe that is a higher scale than the Ubud run of white water which I have done now twice throughout my life and I can say even that is an event not to be missed. I wanted to explore this and indeed blog about it, as I said in my intro Bali remains a place of considerable contrasts. From the sedate shores of Sanur to the wild seas off Uluwatu, Canggu etc, to the rice fields of Bali's hinterland, the mysteries of

Why? Because this place that I am referring to here in these paragraphs of mine, are just a steal, for $25 per night, you not only get a fantastic room, modern in appearance including flat screen TVs as well as an en-suite that you would expect from a 5* hotel or an exclusive Bali Private Villa; but you get breakfast as well!

White Waters of the River Telaga Waju

Cont. from page 1 our inflatable threw our legs over the side and we went for it, it was brilliant. Soon after this ultimate event we arrived at our final point, here makan, food was served and every morsel savoured and enjoyed. We moored our boats at the waters edge, we stripped ourselves of the lifejackets and we started our assent to the point where showers, towels and more important carbohydrate was on hand to replenish our depleted fuels of life. The boats were deflated and several Balinese ladies were on hand to balance the boats on their heads and then head to the top of this ravine where they deposited the boats on some waiting pick up allowing the boat to perform another journey later this day. I should add that the climb to the point of food was perhaps a climb of 500 steps with the car some 100 steps further on up. Having said all of this I would not have missed this event for anything as it was just fantastic. The company that we used traded under the name of BMW, Bali Mitra Wahana Rafting they prided themselves on quality, safety and enjoyment, all of which I can certainly vouch for and would recommend them, they are friendly, precise and care for your safety A great day out.

Staying Connected in Bali High-Speed, Dependable Internet Connections are Absolute Prerequisite to Developing Balis Tourism Industry Bali News: Staying Connected in Bali (6/1/2012) Bali Daily has reported on the close link between Internet usage in Bali and the rapid growth of the islands tourism sector. Zulfadly Syam, chairman of the Bali chapter of the Association of Indonesian Internet Providers (APJI), described the Internet business in Bali, saying: The Internet users are mainly foreign visitors, hotels, tourism businesses, offices and urban residents.

Syam estimates that 90% of Internet-dependent businesses are gathered in the islands south in order to take advantage of the concentration of Internet networks, with service to many more remote areas of the island still plagued by low connection speeds. Steps, however, are underway to improve and expand the Internet infrastructure in Bali. On Saturday, May 26, 2012, BIZNET Networks held a reception celebrating the expansion of its Fiber Optic network to Ubud in Central Bali.

Please click above to view our range: This article has been inspired by the many attractions that Bali has to offer, not least the Bali Safari and Marine park. I mention this facility as it is home to many endangered species; all of which are well protected and cared for at this Safari park. The Safari whilst bringing together the Balinese way of life; which as I have said in earlier articles is rich with serenity and calm. This serenity when combined with the African Savannah makes for a unique relaxed loving but an educational experience. The Safari provides a habitat that is all encompassing to the 50 or so species, all of which are available for visitors to see and appreciate. But, regardless of their excellent care, the Safari also provides, indeed the Safari feels that it is its duty to provide an educational experience and has developed a framework which has been devised to encourage us all to be at one with our environment, pointing out the need to protect our surroundings, instilling upon us the reality that we share our surroundings as it is home to so much that is beautiful about life. The key message that comes across is how we, mere mortals, impact the delicate bio diversity/balance which of course is causing many species, such as the wonderful leopard to become endangered, which as you know is just one animal, many creature even plants are at risk. The Safari provides a framework for a first hand experience of working animals, such as the elephant. These majestic creatures move around the Savannah with such grace and are secure in their habitat. Of course you have the opportunity to ride these fabulous animals as they are of such a happy disposition. For this article I have just touched on the good work that this Safari does for animals everywhere. But it should be noted that their key message is: The Safari has a duty to educate the Balinese in ways that make them responsible for their/our cause and effect on the habitats of these defenseless animals, plants etc.. In doing this the Safari has developed and are by now well used to executing an educational program that is devoid of its location. In other words the Safari will travel to places of learning in order that young students can begin to form their behavours such that they are responsible and considerate to their surroundings. One creature worthy of note, as it is a species that is unique to Indonesia; it is that of the Kimono dragon, here you will find them and you will be able to experience their inquisitive behavour, appreciate their abilities, one of which is the way in which they utilise their tongue to sample the air around them. It is no wonder that the Bali Safari and Marine Park has been nominated to win the prestigious award for Indonesian travel and tourism

Elephants on the Beach

Bali Villa Holidays are the best or are they? June 2012 Bali Private Villas - Booking a holiday can be a difficult process, holiday companies advertise special offers to entice you to make a booking through them, these offers often appear to be unbelievable, but when you try to book them they add many mandatory extras such as; Luggage allowances are so low in their weight allowance that you have to pay for an additional amount in order to carry what you require for a good holiday. On the plane if you want an isle seats, or if you are traveling as a family or just a couple and would like seats together this can again be an extra charge, you may find that you are restricted as to your time of departure, or there is a requirement to stay away from home for a minimum period of 16 days etc., by the time that you add all of the extras then these special deals are not special at all. All to often resort hotels and holiday companies have offers of all inclusive packages (room, breakfast, evening meal and sometimes, as can be the case in the Caribbean, free drink) all of this look to be good value in the glossy brochure, but when you arrive at the resort you are given sets of meal vouchers for a 3rd rate canteen. A canteen which is surrounded by 1st class restaurants which you can of course use, but you have to pay extra by redeeming your vouchers and your voucher is suddenly almost worthless. In the Caribbean some resort hotels have all inclusive drinks offers, often the bars are few and far between. When you do find their bars they have employed so few staff that it is like visiting an International rugby match at one of the worlds stadiums, the customers waiting to be served could number 20 people wide and 5 people deep, whilst there is only one bar tender on duty. In order to avoid disappointing holidays many people are opting to book private villas for their exclusive use, where they are not in a scrum when ordering a refreshing drink, where they can prepare their dinner or choose to go to a quality local beach restaurant. A private villa will have its own pool with pool side beds, ample shade so it will not be necessary to climb out of bed at 4 am to make sure you get a sun bed in a good location around a crowded hotel pool. Holidays should always be a true definition of the word holiday, to take a break, to relax from the rigors of your everyday life. The only real way to be sure of a true holiday, a place where you can truly relax is to book a private villa, where you have your own pool, a bar that you bring with you from duty free or stock locally from the nearby Minimart. So you can make a cocktail as and when you want, your own crisps or nuts to savoir as you maximize your time around your own pool under your own gazebo. One place that has embraced the private villa rental concept is that of Bali, Bali has 100s of private villas for holiday rental. Most of these private villas come with their own staff, they're positioned close to all the beaches, places of interest, they are close to boutique shops artisan areas and world class restaurants. Balis villas have everything close at hand that you will need for a luxury holiday in the sun. The villa market in Bali is a competitive market and competition has driven style, elegance, safety, it has provided all the furnishings and linen to match a holiday that's fit for royalty. These villas are simply stunning in appearance as they are elegant and stylish, but above all theyre comfortable to stay in for the duration of your holiday. The Balinese culture is primarily based on Hinduism, this make the Balinese of a serene and calm disposition. The peoples core belief is that of karma, karma leads their way of life as it influences their every action and behaviour, they believe they should always try to lead a good life as it is their belief that they will be favoured at a time of their passing. This attitude to life ideally suits them to the hospitality industry as karma has taught them to be relaxed with themselves and with others. It is this attitude together with the fantastic climate that has made Bali such a unique and sought after holiday location. Bali is often referred to as Australia's Hawaii or the Paradise Island. However, booking a villa in Bali is not as straight forward as it at first can appear. But if booked correctly and it really is easy to book correctly, you will have the best holiday ever. There are a few things to remember: 1. Bali's villas are owned by private individuals and as we all know humanity comes with a good and a bad side so you need to be aware as to what you are booking and from whom you are booking your villa. I will explain this in more detail later in this article. 2. Global, large faceless website companies that market hotel rooms from a drop down menu are now providing holiday rental villas. These companies due to the Internet are global but run on minimum staff, their staff are predominantly sales or IT orientated, they invariably sit in some provincial town in the middle of England. These companies are positioning villas as though they are hotel rooms in a city centre hotel/..
