And hot too. But if you get out of the southern end and head inland, the weather can be pleasant. NE, seems like a reasonably unexploited by tourists and there is some form of a national park too. I would prepare myself if heading to the mountains with lots of water. I remember going long stretches of mountains without sighting villages. So it might be a good idea to carry food and water before heading inland. Roads are fine but lighting and traffic might be a problem. It is indeed very humid in Bali. And hot too.

Coming from OZ and not being your typical tourist I'd want get away from the Kuta trap as soon as possible and ride to the volcano, lake and other side of the island.

We spent the entire morning going in and out of villages figuring out the location of the waterfall. The view was so beautiful, I was unable to stop shooting pictures. Literally 10 minutes later, the cloud cover was so dense, I could not even see the peak of Batur (foreground). Incidentally, Bali seems to be a good place to explore on bike. Quite hilly once you leave the southern end of the island but you get rewarded by sights of beautiful forests and mountains. Well worth the effort, me thinks. Evening.

It reminds me to some volcanoes in New Zealand, a bit south of Taupo, but I can't remember the names. I just remember cycling there about a year ago through the only desert of New Zealand (they call it a desert, actually I wouldn't consider it to be a desert). Yes, I agree.

Is this taken in the morning or evening sun? Glad you had a great trip in Bali. That is indeed a most beautiful pic of the “3 sisters”. Is this taken in the morning or evening sun?
