Back from Bali

Hi travellers,

Am just back from beautiful Bali and as usual, had an amazing time.

The food, landscape, people, sense of adventure and joy in the air - it really is magical.

My personal favourite is having a private driver and exploring all day, we have done this several times and it is always a highlight, oh - and the tiny stores and day spas everywhere.

Bali is a revelation for those interested in building and architecture as well, with their rice terraces a masterclass in design and using natural land fall to their best. I love the inventive thinking and great use of nature I see every time I visit.  In some areas they are now using fish in their rice fields to eat the bugs, the fish's waste adds to the waters minerals to create a more fertile growing area, and the production of rice has increased markedly - genius.

If you need an incredible driver - I recommend Putu Artha - he responds to messages on Whatsapp (essential to have Whatsapp in Bali - everyone uses it, free, reliable and uses data)

+62 859 0315 1010 - tell him Kath from MTA sent you, his service is incredible.

Picture is of our sunset dinner at Jimbaran - always a highlight and great value fresh seafood

I am happily back at work for a while now, but have already booked to go back to Bali end of the year and am off to Sri Lanka next year for some more exploring

Happy travelling!
