Bali is an island paradise situated to the south-east of the main island of Indonesia (Java). Described by Jawaharlan Nehru as "the morning of the world" it has a wonderful exotic climate with balmy weather all year round. Topographically the island consists of coastal lowlands against a backdrop of lush mountains.

Early Western explorers and settlers in Bali described the Balinese people as the most friendly in the world ... and this is still the case today. The island is a tourist mecca drawing visitors from many parts of the world. The tropical beaches, low priced, high value accommodation and excellent, inexpensive food makes Bali a natural choice for those who want a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Shopping is a big attraction and there are lots and lots of products and services available.

This website includes over 706 photos of Bali taken during August 2004. A picture is worth a thousand words and we hope that this pictorial representation of Bali will give you a genuine view of what you can expect when you visit. People who have been to Bali will find these pictures bringing back many happy memories. A special thanks to the many hotel and restaurant owners who allowed us to take photos of their premises.

I must also pay special thanks to Lorraine Selmer who assisted me with translation and film direction and to her daughter Emma Lowry who provided a young person's view of Bali and also modelled for many pictures.
