WHY BALI ?
Planning your next vacation, you may put Bali at the top of your list of places to visit. Nobody can deny that this island is a most exciting place to visit, as far as traveling goes in Indonesia. There is only one dragback in this area of foreign tourists you will feel like a perfect stranger.
For a start, when you arrive at Ngurah Rai Airport, you will see hotel salesmen waiting-but nor for you. Approaching every foreigner, they will give their warmest welcome offering him or her their services. But they won't even look at you. Next you will find that the price lists of hotels are in US dollars with some of them having conversion rates from dollars to yen. The rupiah seems to be an unheard-of currency.
WHY NOT PELANG BEACH ?
Why go to Bali at all if all you want is a white sandy beach with clear water? Indonesia has an endless chain of tourist resorts. If you're not too obsessed with luxury. Pelang beach could be an alternative. Besides its beautiful beaches, Pelang also has a natural waterfall and an unexplored cave. Saying that a place has a Kuta, a Niagara, and a Karangbolong in one package could be a bit of an exaggeration. But come on! Where in the world can you find a beautiful beach, a natural water fountain, and an unexplored cave within a radius of three hundred meters? Where else can you possibly stand under a soothing natural water fountain right after stepping out of a swim in the sea? Only at Pelang can you spend your leisure time lying on the white sand, listening to the lyrical melody of the sea without being interrupted by curious beach bums, masseurs, or souvenir vendor. And to think you still have the option of exploring a cave.
