“One day in Kintamani is plenty”. I heard this from a friend on my first day in Bali. “There's nothing to do there except see the volcano”, another told me. It’s a good thing I didn't listen to any of them.
Welcome to Bali overview
“One day in Kintamani is plenty”. I heard this from a friend on my first day in Bali. “There's nothing to do there except see the volcano”, another told me. It’s a good thing I didn't listen to any of them.
Important details from the source
- In front of me, hidden behind the clouds, is the summit of a volcano.
- I don’t yet know that in a week’s time I’ll be walking around it.
- The huge lake is surrounded by mountains and the dense development of local villages.
- Floating on the lake is a temple, the Pura Segara Ulun Danu Batur.
- Directly translated, its name means ‘Water Temple on Lake Batur’.
- I have the feeling that there are no other travellers here.
- There are no European restaurants, no noisy bars and no sandy beaches.
- But there are warungs serving delicious nasi goreng fried rice dishes.
- There are small cafes serving Balinese ground coffee.
- There are two grocery stores and one ATM, which generally doesn’t work.
