Bali

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its forested volcanic mountains, iconic rice paddies, beaches and coral reefs. The island is home to religious sites such as cliffside Uluwatu Temple. To the south, the beachside city of Kuta has lively bars, while Seminyak, Sanur and Nusa Dua are popular resort towns. The island is also known for its yoga and meditation retreats. Ulun Danu Temple is a very pretty building is dedicated to the goddess of the lake and is one of the quietest and most serene places on the island. Those looking for something a little different in Bali can head to the area of Tabanan which is covered in rice paddies that sparkle with an emerald hue under the sun. The big draw here is that in addition to checking out the scenery you can also get involved and learn how rice is grown and harvested in Bali. Another thing to do is to hang out with monkeys at the Monkey Forest. The complex is full of over 500 monkeys and three temples. You can walk about the nature based scenery, while taking pictures with or of the monkeys. You can even buy bananas and feed the monkeys. For some real adventure, you can hike to the top of Mount Batur, one of the famous volcanoes in Bali. Bali is filled with all kinds of adventure, and I cannot wait to explore it.
