Having recently visited Bali for the first time, we’re going to share what our experience was like, what perceptions we had before visiting and how did they match up for visiting one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.

In this travel guide for Bali, learn about how Bali belly is a real thing, how Steve sprained his ankle and what happened at 5:31am which changed our entire holiday. We’ll also talk about the famous Bali Beach Clubs, where to spend New Years Eve in Bali, how to book a driver, and the pros and cons for visiting Bali.

We’ll also talk about visiting Flores Island, famous for the Komodo Islands. Here we did an amazing trek to a remote village called Wae Rebo which you can read more about here: https://londonerinsydney.com/13-tips-for-visiting-wae-rebo-village-in-flores-indonesia/

We also visited the amazing Sumba Island which is a whole other world away from Bali. Think traditional villages, pristine landscape, wild swimming holes and waterfalls you’ll get all to yourself and so much more.
