Welcome guest bloggers, Dave and Deb, Canada’s Adventure Couple, for a first hand look at traveling around Bali and Lombok. Many people will travel to Bali for one thing and one thing only. The waves. Die-hard surfers spend their lives traveling the world in search of the perfect wave and Bali is one of the greatest surfing destinations on earth. When my husband Dave and I decided to go to Bali, it was for fun and sun, but we couldn't pass up the opportunity to hop on a board and try our hand at riding the famous swells of Kuta Beach. Kuta Beach is not a place you go to for peace and relaxation. But if you want to learn to surf, it is the perfect spot to settle in for newbie wave-riders. A good central location to stay is just off of Poppies Gang I or II. There is an abundance of hotels and guesthouses to suit any budget and you are close to the beach, markets and eateries. Choosing a place with a pool is a good idea as you can be hassled quite a bit laying on the beach.
