And then it was time for our last month of travelling. Next on our list was Indonesia and we decided to start on Bali. We hadn't had time to do research about Indonesia so we chose beach town Sanur as our first stop to get into Indonesia. The beach itself wasn't ideal for swimming or snorkelling since there was too much sea grass but if you enjoy sunbathing, it will do the trick.
Bali has a very distinctive cultural heritage with a lot of interesting buildings, temples and statues all over town. We also witnessed a ceremony where the people made offerings to the sea.
One day we were getting lost in the inner part of Sanur when a local guy invited us to see their family Hindu temple. The temple was used by fifty families on big occasions but they also had a smaller temple for their own family's daily praying.
After chilling on Sanur for a few days we moved inland to the town of Ubud. This town had a lot to offer: nice walking streets, lots of restaurants and shops, loads of art, crafts and culture and beautiful surroundings with rice fields and hills.
We also visited the Monkey Forest Sanctuary and got very well acquainted with the inhabitants.
