I had a nice and humid weekend break in Bali last weekend. It was a very short stay, but I believe I got to know what is the essence of being in Bali: lying by the pool or beach and doing absolutely nothing at all. After a hard day of sun worship and spa treatments, one could reward themselves at Rocks Bar at Ayana Resort and Spa. It is advisable to go there early to get a table and not to queue in.

High temperature and especially very high level of humidity (day and night) give the visitors hard time moving around. We defied the humidity and rented a car and a driver for one day to explore some Balinese villages, like Ubud, which offers a wide variety of wood carvings and other traditional handicrafts.

PS. Be sure to spare some rupiahs (150.000) to the Ngurah Rai Intl' airport, because there is a fee to paid at the airport before leaving the country.
