surfing, shopping, sunset drinks, and maybe some yoga; whereas if you head to a mountain retreat you will explore the real Bali and discover other aspects of Bali life. Both are enjoyable so it depends on the style of holiday you’re after. ARE THERE ANY MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT BALI THAT YOU’D LIKE TO DISPEL? Following the Bali bombings the entire island reeled from these horrible events. The people of Bali (the majority who are Hindu) are a beautiful, spiritual, and gentle race. They are welcoming, warm and genuinely want visitors to enjoy themselves, but also want them to respect their customs and beliefs. Bali is a very safe destination and a great family holiday.
