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.

The chief of police in Larantuka in west Flores will
issue you a pas ja/an. The island of Lembata is all
walking or horseback. Put a pack on your back and take
some gifts along. The horses from the lowlands can't
take the highlands and the highland horses can't take
the lowlands. Go to a priest and he'll get you a horse
for a short while, or buy one for about Rp15,000. Every
10 km or so there's a good-sized mission which you should
use as much as possible; they'll always feed you and
give you a nice bed. If you meet one priest, he'll fix
you up with an introduction to another. Mostly Dutch
priests are assigned here though now they're changing
over to Indonesians; when the Dutch on the island die,
there will be no more. Father Schmitz (an American from
Chicago) is in the south, and Father Giust's village
is only 12 km from Lowolava. Father Giust has an excellent
map of Lembata on his wall. You can also stay quite
comfortably with the kepala desa in each village. Register
with the police at each police post, they're keen on
you doing it because they want most of all just to meet
you.
