It is as inseparable from everyday existence as is, say, economics.Posted in Blog by Putu Widiasa on 06/21/2008 | 0 Comments
Tabanan
Tabanan Regency, the first impression one receives in viewing the land of Tabanan is the green and fertile land. It is as if the streams of hills and the mountains at its northern border, along with Danau Bratan, Danau Buyan and Danau Tamblingan has destined the region of Tabanan to be constantly filled with water. The cool climate and weather, and the downhill landscape which fall from the mountain ranges in the north to the beachside in the south, makes Tabanan an ideal location for wetland farming and plantatins.Posted in Bali by Joy Sastra Wijaya on 06/20/2008 | 0 Comments
Surfing in Bali
Bali is a good place for surfing for a number of reasons. These include warm water, relatively uncrowded breaks, when compared to California and Australia. Bali gets some kind of surf most of the year,
there are beach breaks and Kuta and Dreamland and also reef breaks on the rest of the Bukit, including the famous Uluwatu. Bali?s unique geography, means that you can get a selection of left hand breaks on one side of the Bukit, drive for 20 minutes and get another whole selection of right hand breaks. In Lombok, for example, you?d have to ride for 4 hours or more, to get from one side of the island, to the other.
During the dry season (April-October), the trade winds favour surfing the western side of the coast, including the breaks on the western Bukit including Uluwatu and Bingin. During the wet season (November-March) the tides and winds favour the eastern coast including the eastern Bukit breaks such as Nusa Dua and Sri Lanka.
