• Bali Diaries 3 – From Gilli to Seminyak

  

  It was a 2 hour drive from Padang Bai port  to Seminyak; 50 kms of farm land and black sand beaches. After the boat ride from Gilli to Padang Bai, we were more than grateful for the little pleasures offered, one of which was the air-conditioner in the car that took us to our destination. […]
