Bali was our first destination on our 4½ month trip to Indonesia, Australia and Malaysia. We rented a car for a month, and for the first ten days also a house. A really relaxed trip we can warmly recommend to other families who would like to get a little bit more out of their holiday than Lanzarote for example (we were there for a week during our trip through Europe). We explored the beautiful culture and nature, Tiuri, three years old, went snorkeling for the first time.

Some of our pictures of this amazing island:

We bought by accident, an elephant ride. The kids although thought it was fantastic.

Our first night was in a Hotel with a lovely pool.

Lars went two hours, in darkness, through the jungle, to get this picture.

A beach, close to the house we rented, only reached by foot.

In Central Bali we went to an evening show , which ended with a spectacular fire-dance.

Liva had her second birthday on Bali.

Liva loves music and gave this musician some money.

The house we rented had a pool, how luxurious.

Bali has many rice fields, always a beautiful sight.

It was easy to find new friends to play with.

We rented a hut from a family, where the owner and his son sat in their garden and were carpeting a beautiful door.

We visited a monkey forest, and came across these three sleeping monkeys.

We rented a Balinese kayak and paddled, at sunrise to this beautiful temple, Pura Ulun Danu Bratan Temple.
