Guidebook: Lonely Planet Bali & Lombok
A good guidebook and fairly accurate for your travel in Bali. In a country like Indonesia, however, things change quickly so you can use this book as your reference not as a bible. The introduction to Balinese culture, religion and art, descriptions of major temple sites, places to stay and eat were all helpful and generally accurate, briefly. Get a copy for yourself now!

The Discussion
I was planning to go to Thailand this year, but as it is flooding and situation there is out of control, I think Bali can be excellent choice. I have been there about 3 years ago, it is very nice and inexpensive destination.
I have been several times to Bali, may be I will not gonna have time to have a vacation there this year, but for sure next one, I can take my wife and son there.
I’m planning to go to Bali next year. I’m just waiting my daughter born. ^^
I think destination is perfect for winter holidays for people that don’t like snow. I personally prefer tropical beach resorts than ski vacations.
Hi Melissa. This would surely be a helpful guide for anyone planning to spend some time in Bali. Ever since I saw the beauty of Bali from Eat, Pray, Love, I’ve always wanted to take a vacation there. Maybe someday…
I’ve been dreaming of Bali this entire year but sadly, I wasn’t able to process my visa. Next year would be another try
Great read, thanks Melissa!
For sure Bali is great destination, especially during the new of Christmas, New Year and January. I’ve been there several times with my family. Everything is really cheap compared to western countries.
I’ve been to Thailand, Cambodia and China in Asia, but never to Bali. I wish I can organize a trip with few friends in the beginning of next year.
I’m sure Bali can help travelers to make their journey incredible!
First, Merry Christmas everybody. I think Bali is gorgeous place for holiday and may be the biggest plus is that everything is very cheap.
