| Seminyak beach |
Just started poring over photos from 2+ amazing weeks in Bali (March/April of this year. I am still fantasizing about going back!) Indonesia was by far a highlight of my entire trip - for the food, the friendly culture, the affordability, the natural beauty and of course the surfing! However, I was not a huge fan of the Kuta area, which this post covers.
The first few days were spent with 6 old friends from Colorado. Had a great time with them although the heat combined with jetlag were a bit of a struggle!
A few impressions:
The Island Hotel (Legian) - nice pool/rooms, delicious breakfast, and far enough away from Kuta, walking distance to beach
Kuta - like Vegas, only more Australians, drugs and sketchy characters mixed with loud music, chaotic street crowds, and overpriced retail stores, I strongly disliked this area
Kuta area beaches - paddled through TONS of trash floating in the water while surfing! gross - though the beaches themselves were okay
Seminyak - better (less sketchy) nightlife than Kuta
If you're flying into Bali, I'd highly recommend you stay in a place like Canggu - a refreshing escape from the tourism and madness of Kuta that's just a short trip down the road. (See future posts...) Although -thanks to the company of a fabulous group of friends- I had a great time in the Seminyak area!
