known for its lush rice terraces, stunning beaches, and rich cultural heritage. Whether it&#8217;s chasing waterfalls in Ubud, surfing in Canggu, or exploring ancient temples, the allure of Bali pulls travelers into her orbit by the millions. Of all the places we visited in Asia, nowhere was half so disappointing as Bali. The rice fields are being paved over for the construction of luxury villas. The price of surf rentals is laughable. The waterfalls, temples, surf line up, beaches, clubs, and roads are packed full of tourists.\u00a0<\/p><p>The fact of the matter is that the island of Bali is miserably overcrowded. Also, it&#8217;s incredibly overhyped. The island has many Instagrammable vistas and viewpoints, but the travel experience pales in comparison with other islands in the country you&#8217;re less likely to see on Instagram. Even the neighboring islands of Java and Lombok are much better destinations, in my opinion. That being said, I enjoyed it less than Indi and five other friends that traveled Bali with us at one time or another. If you do decide to visit Bali, you&#8217;ll find fun things to do and beautiful things to see, but it is important to know what you&#8217;re getting yourself into.\u00a0<\/p><p>Bali is one of the travel hubs of Indonesia, so we found ourselves here multiple times throughout our travels. I&#8217;ve decided to condense our time in Bali down to show it all back-to-back, instead of writing at least three separate blog posts about each stop.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-36370a73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"36370a73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c4d2355\" data-id=\"7c4d2355\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3165647a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3165647a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-436c7fdc elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"436c7fdc\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7ff627b2\" data-id=\"7ff627b2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24dcf018 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"24dcf018\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 1 - Nusa Dua<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-59cee386 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"59cee386\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Kuta Beach<\/li><li>Kuta Art Market<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ab7e07a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ab7e07a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fdfc358\" data-id=\"fdfc358\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e30ed92 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"e30ed92\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-129fa8b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"129fa8b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We rented a scooter (for 2 days) at a place down the road from our hotel. The scooter was a Yamaha Fazzio and I liked it immediately. It had a wide seat base and felt like a new model with a keyless entry. If you have never driven a scooter, Bali is probably not the place to learn.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We drove to the other side of the peninsula because Indi wanted to check out a beach. Google Maps took us on a freeway that had tolls. There was no way to pay the toll with cash, you need some kind of card, so we had to wait on the side of the road (not long) for a local to come by. We gave her cash (a little extra for the trouble), and she paid for us to go through the toll gate. The drive along the toll road was awesome, though. It was a long bridge over shallow water with a dedicated bike lane walled off by a median planter full of boganvelia. It has been one of my favorite scooter rides to date. The traffic in Bali was insane at times, but this part was excellent.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5051be8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"5051be8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80514e8\" data-id=\"80514e8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9074499 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9074499\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10971\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_0551-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-f7bec35 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f7bec35\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ea3d52\" data-id=\"2ea3d52\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-31afc66 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"31afc66\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Kuta Beach and The Flea Market<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ac6d675 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ac6d675\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-968654a\" data-id=\"968654a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5a6eb96e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5a6eb96e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We drove to a market in Kuta called <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/VAR1Pc9WTJCnXF7d6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Flea Market<\/a>.

The coolest part was when a thin sheet of water covered the sand and made a mirror as we were walking along it towards the end.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2efea26 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"2efea26\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2b5d95d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2b5d95d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0531903\" data-id=\"0531903\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a843a88 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a843a88\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10970\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/EA1F2C1F-6DE7-4543-B38E-6EE81432169C_1_201_a-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-621dcbc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"621dcbc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We went to a random warung nearby called <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/3AzUnMrP4o4Pnnot6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Warung Murah Double Six<\/a>, and it turned out to be my favorite warung on Bali.

They&#8217;ll heap whatever you want onto a plate and then tell you the price. It doesn&#8217;t seem like an exact science. The Aussies reminisced on when the crowded Kuta neighborhood where we sat was an empty dirt road.

It had the customary Balinese cliffs surrounding it that I am used to seeing on social media, but they were partially manmade as they were cut back to make room for roads and the like. I was less impressed than Indi was. We got in the water close to where we parked to hang out on the beach for a bit. I flew the drone and found a spot at the end of the beach that looked like it was better for getting in the water &#8211; a kind of shallow pool of water with a sandy bottom.\u00a0<\/p><p>The walk over was brutal because the sand was a weird consistency. It was a course sand that exfoliates the bottom of your foot as you walk, but it was also porous, so your foot sinks deep into it, making the walking slow and laborious. We walked until the sand ended at a looming rock wall. We got in the crystal clear, greenish blue water. The beach, like Nusa Dua Beach, seemed to be on the low end of low tide, so the water was very shallow. Exposed rocky areas blocked where you could enter the water. The sun set behind the cliff next to us, so we eventually got out of the water. I didn&#8217;t want to walk back on the sand, so I crossed the shallow water over to a long strip of rock that ran parallel with the shore. I put on my sandals and walked back on the rock while Indi walked on the sand. I thought I would be much faster than her, but the uneven rock made for slow going. She beat me by a lot.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d340861 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d340861\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bb9d66\" data-id=\"8bb9d66\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9a4b6b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"9a4b6b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eecbf9f elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"eecbf9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Amphitheater Gunung Payung\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a81b7bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a81b7bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10973\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8180073-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25c9f91 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"25c9f91\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ended the day at a lookout above <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/U6vGoiCAVS7vQ3mMA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gunung Payung Beach<\/a>.

We had heard from multiple people that it was an awesome surf spot. When we arrived, I was surprised to find the beach much smaller than I had imagined. Because it is a popular beach, it filled up quickly. There were only a few areas that had shade and we were lucky enough to snag one before they were gone. Many beach goers paid for umbrellas and beach chairs. The surf did not look great by any means, but I wanted to give it a shot. Mainly to check surfing in Bali off my bucket list, if I&#8217;m being honest. I asked a surfboard rental guy how much it would be to rent a longboard and he told me it cost 700k ($42) for 1.5 hours. I&#8217;m not sure I have ever heard of such a tourist rip off. I didn&#8217;t even bother to reply to the offer before walking away. The beach was not particularly pretty and the sand quickly gave way to rocks, so it was not fun to sit in the shallows. We laid in the shade of a rocky cliff bordering the sand for a while until we had enough of chilling.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-81d44d1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"81d44d1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-154d03e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"154d03e\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-80b6b5a\" data-id=\"80b6b5a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-515685b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"515685b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-1024x768.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10976\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/B811F336-0FA0-4831-800D-45CFB0A0D1B4_1_201_a-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2ee8906\" data-id=\"2ee8906\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e46b81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e46b81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We ate lunch at another cafeteria style warung where you point to what you want and they calculate everything at the end.

Lempuyang Temple is one of Bali&#8217;s oldest and most revered temples, often referred to as the &#8220;Gateway to Heaven.&#8221; This temple sits on Mount Lempuyang, offering stunning views of Mount Agung in the distance.\u00a0 The temple is known for its picturesque split gate that frames the volcano, making it a popular spot for photos.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-style: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text );\">The temple looks striking from the outside. I did not enter as a sign was posted notifying visitors not to enter except for prayer. There were tons of people there. I have no idea how many, but a lot. Even in remote areas like this one, Bali&#8217;s overcrowding epidemic is palpable. Most people go there to take a photo inside of the gateway that got Instafamous. So, we waited in line for 1.5 hours to take our photo in the middle of the arch. Now, if you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;re thinking that that sounds super lame. It was, but it was early in the morning, the temperature was nice, and I felt content to sit and take in the view. If you don&#8217;t need a photo in that particular decorative gate, you could visit at any time just to enjoy the temple grounds and view of Mount Agung.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-17ae361 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"17ae361\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0db6163\" data-id=\"0db6163\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d943638 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"d943638\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16a49b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"16a49b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Taman Tirta Gangga\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6aa1bb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6aa1bb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-768x1024.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10993\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/P8200107-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04903cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"04903cf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"632\" data-end=\"1131\">Next, we headed to Taman Tirta Gangga, a royal water palace that dates back to the 1940s.

Today, it&#8217;s a peaceful spot to wander through, with koi-filled ponds and statues scattered throughout the gardens.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1637\">\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f7aad93 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"f7aad93\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4021fb4\" data-id=\"4021fb4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3efe716 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3efe716\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5c5f6c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5c5f6c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Tukad Cepung Waterfall\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7caaa23 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7caaa23\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"896\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--896x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10995\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--896x1024.jpeg 896w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--263x300.jpeg 263w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--768x878.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--1344x1536.jpeg 1344w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--1792x2048.jpeg 1792w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tukad-Cepung-Waterfall--11x12.jpeg 11w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 896px) 100vw, 896px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3d465a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3d465a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"1133\" data-end=\"1637\">After Tirta Gangga, we drove about 30 minutes to Tukad Cepung, a waterfall tucked away in a jungle ravine. The drive was quick, but the walk to the waterfall took a bit of effort, navigating through forest paths and descending quite a few stairs to get to the river. When we reached the waterfall, we found a sign saying &#8220;No Lines&#8221;. Right underneath this sign was a line of people. We soon discovered they were patiently waiting to take photos in front of the waterfall. I didn&#8217;t have the heart to just walk past them and enjoy the water, so I got in line. I legitimately feel ashamed I didn&#8217;t ignore the instagram models and just live in the moment. When I think of Bali, I think of this waterfall. It embodies what is wrong with the travel culture. People get so wrapped up in documenting a moment that they don&#8217;t really experience it.\u00a0<\/p><p data-start=\"1639\" data-end=\"2264\" data-is-last-node=\"\"

spring water, where locals and visitors alike come to purify themselves. It took about 45 minutes to drive from Tukad Cepung Waterfall to Tirta Empul. The temple dates back to the 10th century and is a significant religious site for Bali\u2019s Hindu community. Visitors can witness or partake in the purification ritual, which involves dipping in the temple&#8217;s sacred fountains. We saw locals, but mostly tourists in the water when we went. The whole thing felt a bit ridiculous as the ritual itself clearly didn&#8217;t have any meaning for the Chinese and Australian tourists who were grinning and taking photos while locals performed their rites with practiced movements, doing their best to ignore the rabble surrounding them. After spending time at the temple, we made the return trip to Ubud, which took about 45 minutes. On the way back, our driver took us to a restaurant overlooking rice terraces. It was very pretty but I was offended by the prices. We decided to return to town. We ended up getting food at a restaurant close to our hotel, and no one liked their food.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\"><div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\"><div class=\"flex items-center\"><div class=\"flex items-center pb-0\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2fe65fa elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2fe65fa\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8aaeb61\" data-id=\"8aaeb61\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0fc0a15 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0fc0a15\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 5 - Ubud<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a8c5af elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8a8c5af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Cretya Ubud<\/li><li>Campuhan Ridge Walk<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d4574ab elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"d4574ab\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2d7f165\" data-id=\"2d7f165\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b6e95e9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"b6e95e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-20d70f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"20d70f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Cretya Ubud\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8213702 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8213702\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-768x1024.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-10997\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-9x12.jpeg 9w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8311-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6605a78 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6605a78\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I decided to spend most of the day studying at a nearby cafe.

It&#8217;s an easy, picturesque trek that takes you along a ridge, offering panoramic views of the surrounding valleys, rice fields, and tropical forests. The walk is about 2 kilometers long and typically takes around 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. That&#8217;s what I hear anyway. We met up with a friend of Brandon&#8217;s he met in Malaysia. We wanted to do the walk during sunset but ended up arriving late. It was already getting dark when we started the walk, we passed a lot of people coming down. We gave up after a while and walked back towards our hotel to find a place to eat dinner.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-17e82c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"17e82c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-5c9e431 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5c9e431\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c2cb0dd\" data-id=\"c2cb0dd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2de3f31 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2de3f31\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11000\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8317-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-55120cd\" data-id=\"55120cd\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9b66f5b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9b66f5b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got dinner at a <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/TxzcEjhBXnX9GA65A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sushi place<\/a> near our hotel that had a daily deal.

We stored our stuff at the hotel. After a miscommunication that Monique was coming to us, we realized she was waiting for us at the Monkey Forest. We walked to the Ubud center and then took a Grab. It was quite touristy and busy. I was genuinely scared at times in the Monkey Forest because maqacs are dirty, trash monkeys and they are unpredictable and bite people. We saw a dumb tourist that picked up a baby monkey to take a photo with it. She got bit in the hand by the baby and charged by a couple other bigger monkeys. There is a health clinic that probably gives a few rabies shots a day. The highlight was when Audrey crouched down to get a photo of a monkey, and two little monkeys jumped on her and she freaked out. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-51a738b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"51a738b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-61e4522 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"61e4522\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1378fe4\" data-id=\"1378fe4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2445 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"44f2445\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-11001\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/westindiestravel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_8332-16x12.jpeg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-aa182ca\" data-id=\"aa182ca\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4b136be elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4b136be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We spent a long time walking through the forest on the paved trails.

The place was packed, and the line to get in stretched out of sight. From our place in line, we could see packs of trash monkeys roaming the dimly lit grounds, adding an element mild terror to the experience. While Audrey and Indi saved our place in line, Brando and I ran to the bathroom. It is located next to the Uluwatu Temple, so we had a look around. The temple grounds were gated but the view from outside was beautiful.

Though not exactly my vibe, I\u2019ll admit it was a nice experience, albeit pricey. We ended up ordering the same bowl of hummus three times because it was so good, despite costing almost $10. Indi had booked us one of the last spots available in the VIP section, which was on a bed by the infinity pool. We spent most of the day relaxing, cooling off in the pool, and occasionally ordering food (or drinks for the others). Brandon even convinced me to jog a mile on the beach, which was pretty cool. We got in the ocean after, though the strong waves and current meant we didn\u2019t stay in the water for long.<\/p><p>The sunset wasn\u2019t anything special, but after dark, the energy picked up. Dancers were stationed around the club, and staff handed out sparklers. Fire dancers performed near the pool while a DJ and hypeman got the crowd going with fog machines. I spent much of the night trying to make progress on a class, though studying in the middle of the party was a bit ridiculous.\u00a0 A member of our group disappeared and we couldn&#8217;t find them, one got very drunk, and one lost their expensive watch in the pool. Although I was happy that Indi had a great birthday, I was ready to leave the chaos behind. I have been called many things, but the life of the party is not one of them.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ce837e0 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ce837e0\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-288478e\" data-id=\"288478e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb9658b elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"bb9658b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e3a4c8e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e3a4c8e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Day 8 - Uluwatu<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b15ef7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b15ef7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li>Savaya<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ba4f989 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ba4f989\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d1117a2\" data-id=\"d1117a2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d2a352 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6d2a352\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7466e1d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7466e1d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>For this leg of our time in Bali, Audrey was not there.

I\u2019m Zach! I have lived in Caguas, PR with my wife Indi since December of 2021 when we moved here for her PA program. More specifically, we live in a small, lovely home perched on the side of a mountain that affords us a beautiful view we never tire of. The small road off the highway to get to our house has eroded to an alarming extent, and will eventually collapse, but to live in such a place is well worth the risk. By day, lush, green mountains are visible extending from a small valley. A river cuts a path between the mountains; a short ride on my moped can take me to a spot in the river where a 6 ft waterfall flows into a round pool where green herons fish and locals cool off. By night, a giant white cross on the hill just below us lights up, on Wednesday\u2019s the sound of the church\u2019s hymns makes its way to our porch. The night comes alive with the sound of frogs and insects and the occasional Puerto Rican screech owl. House geckos crawl around the house\u2019s exterior to hunt bugs drawn by the light. I feel lucky every day to live here and do my best to never take it for granted. We love exploring the island and since moving here, have done and seen a lot. My google maps is a messy mix of pins, many are pins of where I want to visit, and dozens more are favorite spots I have saved, from beaches, to hikes, to restaurants, to cultural sites, and more. Puerto Rico is a big island and there is so much to do. We have played the part of tour guide for friends and family on numerous occasions. I like to plan everything, which means a detailed itinerary crafted for every visit. After several such occasions, I have decided to share a travel guide for future visitors to benefit from my experience of planning travel and traveling around this special island.\",\"sameAs\":[\"http:\\\/\\\/westindiestravel.com\",\"https:\\\/\\\/facebook.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/instagram.com\\\/westindiestravel\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.pinterest.com\\\/terrestrialtemple\\\/\",\"https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/@westindiestravel\"]}]}<\/script>\n<!--
