Rock Bar. Cocktail. Sunset. Indian Ocean. Nuff said.
This guy wasn't so lucky, but our motorbike expedition will take us to local scenic sights, off the beaten track where the only place we crash is a local-only secret beach.
Long before Whale Rider was made, Yvonne Mackay directed a little movie about a spiritual relationship between a turtle and an indigenous child called the Silent One. While the movie featured a rare white turtle and the main character was deaf and mute, you can snorkel as loud as you want with your own Hawksbill turtle in the Gili Isles.
She just may be Bali's answer to Lady Gaga and you'll need to mine her experience for advice. The Bali Classic Culture Centre will be teaching us how to get down to the gamelan.
Forget Silvertop - taxi drivers don't come any more handsome than this steed! Gili Trawangan doesn't have any motorised vehicles and Mr Ed here is your only choice for getting home after a big sesh on the juice. The island only has 5 bars but they all cooperate by hosting one big party each, on their pre-assigned day to ensure they share the tourists throughout the week.
What better place to wash away that hangover and sinful residue than at these ancient mineral pools in Purta Tirta Empul. Just as well there are 13 taps feeding that sizeable pool.
Ku-de-ta. Fingers crossed we arrive in time for one of their special events as their production standards are second to none. This was their Alice in Wonderland 10th Birthday party entrance.
The luxury villa and plunge pool before our inaugural house-party.
$18.60AUD can buy you a pair of over & under red socks from sockhop or a one hour massage at Spa Hati in Ubud.
The only time you'll need to roll up your sleeves - Anika Balinese Cooking Class. The reward? 10 Balinese dishes including Green Pancakes with Coconut and Balinese gado-gado.
