I had the chance to visit Bali twice,once was in the summer of 1987.

To tell you the truth firsr visitI dis-liked it,the weather was too hot and humid...(no diffirence than home)...my family did not have any reservations to any hotel so we spent the whole day looking for a place to stay at,then finally we found a small hotel which offered us only two nights,then we had to leave,luckly we had some relatives who offered us to stay at their house for the next three nights.

The second time I went with my husband in May 1995,the weather was great.we had booked hotels in advance.and everything was just perfect!

Pros and Cons

Pros:Nice scenery,great beaches!
Cons:hot summers.

Last visit to Bali: May 1995

What a shame you had such a bad experience the first time. That's quite a friend you made with Miss Turkey. The lizards are friendly...lol Lovely pics.
