Greetings Nirmala!

Thanks for your email, and my apologies for not getting back to you sooner.

We went to Bali expecting it to be full of drunk Australian louts and lots of Starbucks on every corner etc - we were wrong !! What a treasure it is. An island of awesome. From the minute we arrived everything was perfect - those smells and scents of crazed Asian street life - diesel, smoke, street food, horns blaring, people and motorbikes everywhere - loved it. We felt relaxed within a few hours of arriving.

Legian was super - sunsets on the beach, clean surf, super shopping and great food (nice margaritas !). We hired a driver for a day and headed to Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Sanur - all nice. We snorkelled and went boat cruising. The drivers were happy to answer our endless questions on Bali life - schools, tax rates, family life.

The Legian Beach Hotel was superb - upgraded to a pool bungalow, the breakfasts were legendary and the staff helpful and friendly.

The transfers were great - Gustik the driver talked us into a tour of central Bali enroute to Ubud - dance shows, rice terraces, swimming under waterfalls, the obligatory trip to the art galleries (but it wasnt pushy). Ubud was a delight - not too westernised. We availed ourselves of the massages, the tailors, the fantastic food. Alaya Resort Ubud was divine - central, small, welcoming and helpful. Just perfect.

We climbed Batur at sunrise with a local guide - just fantastic.

Flights were great as well. Everything was lovely. 

Thanks to you for helping to arrange a perfect holiday. I will definitely consider Our Asia for our next holiday.

Terima kasih,

Moira and Glenn
