PONOROGO
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.

of Solo or 25 km south of Madiun. Warlock area here
land around Wonosobo). Thick with sorcery and black
magic. Let care be taken, some bad dudes. Spirits include:
memedi, phantoms who walk at night; /e/embut, invisible
spirits who enter people and possess their souls, bringing
calamity, and death; tujul, who mediate between man
and devil and whose followers must propitiate with dead
bodies. It's said that dukuns of this region have psychic
sinister powers. They can inflict curses and sickness
on enemies, kill a man with chants or by touching his
Achilles' Heel. In Ponorogo, find well-known batik,
and lampshade hats. The pencak silat form, Delima (named
after a fruit), is practiced here even by small girls
and boys
Nusa
Lembongan is situated 12 miles south east of Bali. It
is one hour traveling time by boat from Benoa Harbour.
This pear shaped island is around 4km long and 2km wide.
It is surrounded by a beautiful fringing reef, which
hosts a myriad of marine life, The waters are renowned
for their abundance of life and great surf breaks. The
reef has been declared a marine park by the Indonesian
authorities. Not only does the reef support its own
Eco-system, but it supports most of the villagers on
the island as well. The local people farm seaweed. This
seaweed is cultivated, harvested then exported all over
the world for use in cosmetics, food stabilizers and
medicines. Other sources of income include traditional
wooden boat building, farming peanuts, sweet potato,
and fishing.Village life is very slow and enchanting.
Very few cars and motorbikes are seen on the roads.
The people are steeped in tradition, and one could imagine
Bali being like this island, thirty years ago.Although
the island is small there are many things to do. Fishing,
diving, surfing, mangrove exploring, discovering natural
fresh water springs, underground cave house exploring,
cycling around the island. A visit to the bat caves
on a nearby island, or a picnic at dream beach. Try
catching mud cabs in the mangrove area at the back of
the island. There is something for every one at Nusa
Lembongan.
