Some
of the TOP Hotels in Bali
Bali's
most famous and crowded resort is Kuta beach, a six-kilometre
sweep of golden sand, with plenty of accommodation,
shops and nightlife. Nearby Sanur is much quieter, but
most backpackers prefer the beaches of peaceful east-coast
Candi Dasa and traveller-oriented Lovina on the north
coast. The island's other major destination is the cultural
centre of Ubud , a still charming but undeniably commercialized
overgrown village, where traditional dances are staged
every night of the week and the streets are full of
arts-and-crafts galleries.

very deep lakes, Matana and Towuti. Lake Towuti is 48
km wide and the largest lake of Celebes, comparable
in size to Lake Geneva. Mighty beautiful. Lake Matana
has burial caves. Besides the bus from Malili to Wawondula
and then on to Timampu (on the shore of Danau Towuti),
Inco Mining Co. has the only vehicles to the lakes.
Enquire about the possibility of a launch on D. Towuti.
There are recreational speedboats for Inco Co. staff
on D. Matana which is excellent for swimming, water
skiing, or sailing. Or you could get boats to Matana
village at the head of the lake and to Nuha village
