Where's the Waves?

What else the most interesting and challenging sport you can do in Kuta Beach, Bali? Yes, it's only surfing. If some people run away from waves, to surf well you have to play with waves. Just like our live, sometimes we need to play with the waves of life in order to keep living. Waves not always bad huh..

Motorbikes in Bali

Besides being called as paradise, I would also call Bali as a motorbike island. Motorbike is the most favorable vehicle used to travel around. Especially at Kuta, the center of gala, you can easily find motorbikes for rental. I myself prefer motorbikes rather than car.

Slingshot at Kuta - Bali

Some people may think that Bali is merely a cultural island with beautiful landscape. But let me clarify that it's not. Bali is also an island for adventures and games. There quite many adventures can be enjoyed in Bali, such as diving, snorkeling, para sailing, and many others. The picture I show here is slingshot that you could enjoy at Kuta, Bali.

Melasti Day - 2

When I saw the Melasti Festival at Kuta, Bali, I was lucky that they include Bali Dance in the festival. I didn't see the same dance at other Melasti Festival which were also conducted at other areas.

Melasti Day - 1

This year when I visit Bali, I was just lucky that it's on Melasti Day, which is the days before Quite Day for Balinese Hindu people. On Melasti Day Balinese people purify themselves through a series of prayers. On this picture I captured the people of Kuta, Bali praying together on Kuta Beach.

Sunset at Kuta

One of my fave moment in Bali, when I can see this beautiful sunset at Kuta Beach.

Surfing at Kuta

I can say that surfing is one of the most favorable activity to do at Kuta, and my fave too. However after several times of trying I still can not make it..hehe...

If you like to try surfing you don't need to worry even if you don't know how to do it. There're many surfing school at Kuta, Bali where you can hire surfing teacher to teach and guide you on how to surf. They also provide you with complete surfing stuff.

Kuta Beach, Bali - 2008

This is how Kuta Beach looked when I visit again in 2008. Much better right? Many tourists come back visiting Bali again. Start to see crowds again. Crowds is not always interesting, but at least it shows that people start to trust Bali again. Kuta Beach is alive again. You can see tourists swimming, surfing, walking, sunbathing and even having massage at the beach. Many shops open again, Bali people selling again.

Thanks to Bali people who maintain the cleanness and beauty of Kuta Beach. Salute for the patient of Bali people.

Kuta Beach, Bali - 2006

The beach in this picture is Kuta Beach, the most popular beach in Bali, and one of my most favorable spot as well. In 2006 as shown in this picture, Kuta was still quite. Not many tourist coming as the impact of Bali Blast in 2002 and 2003. I salute Bali people who never give up under the difficult situation. Things has been changed in 2008. Kuta and the overall Bali start to recover again (I will show you the picture after this).
