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.

For the Center, the Barito River is the way to get there;
navigable up to 400-750 km upstream. The boat is always
stopping and dropping off people, picking up food and
goods, all the way up the Barito. Most Banjar settlements
and agricultural areas are located on this river or
its tributaries. In the Barito's lower course it's wide
and muddy, flowing through rich marshy country. See
villages of Banjars who live by fishing, rice-growing,
or handsawing huge logs into planks. Traditionally,
people of Kalimantan use flowers to decorate their houses.
Incredible places you stop in with jungle mists in the
mornings and human size monkeys lunging through trees.
In the lower course all the towns are Muslim and have
mosques with ornate domes and spires tucked away in
the trees. When you enter Dayak territory to the north
you start to notice Christian churches.
