Java
and Bali are two of Indonesia's more pleasant islands, though
the classic chill-out island is of course the tranquil, Hindu
Bali that offers spirituality, beaches with warm waters, around
20,000 wonderful temples, endless festivals, amazing funerals,
terraced rice fields, volcanoes, terrific cuisine and friendly,
relaxed people. Kuta and Legian are the island's most famous beaches.
Muslim Java is altogether busier and less beautiful, particularly
the unattractive capital of Jakarta, though Borobudur is worth
an effort to see. Bali was bombed twice, in 2002 and 2005 so you
might care to check with a travel advisory before buying your
ticket.
For real, off-planet weirdness see Bugbog's other Indonesia pictures
of Sulawesi and Irian Jaya.
The
best time to be in tropical Indonesia is in the dry season April
- September. Other months may have rains, wind, rough seas, seaweedy
sand and oppressive humidity.
