Visiting Bali

First time to Bali, first holiday of the year - a good start of many firsts! Bali seemed to run on island time, which was great to start with - until I realized how short the days were. It was nice to chill and wake up to our gorgeous villa and have people actually make us breakfast, which really made me realize how much of a difference it made to my mental state to wake up surrounded by such lush beauty.

It may have rained most days we were there, but we made most of the mornings to visit the local spots like the Monkey Forest and the local temples.We wandered around the rice terraces of Ubud, saw some amazing views and got our dose of local culture visiting the temples and the kecak dance.

The sun even came out in the end for our final beach day! Finally had a day of amazing weather - just perfect for the day we had planned for the beach! Karma Kandara has a reputation as the most beautiful beach in Bali (because it's a private beach), and you actually had to access the beach by cable car! We may or may not have gotten a little sunburnt, but it was such a lovely day!

Bali, you've been amazing - looking forward to the next visit!
