                      tiered rice fields, climbing high to majestic mountain 
                      
                      ranges that look down upon incredibly clear blue 
                      
                      lakes. Many of our treks are known only to the locals,

                      factories of Balinese artisans, where they loom and dye 
                      
                      rich batike silks. There are many beautiful and 
                      
                      priceless objects to buy in Bali - and inexpensive 
                      
                      treasures. The shopping can become

                      of the exquisite Balinese culture. We will attend shadow puppet plays and visit some of Indonesias foremost performing artists in their dazzling dance and gamelan orchestra performances.

Our flexible itinerary is designed to include these whenever possible. We will visit the sacred temple of Besakih and other mossy temples. Hindu and Buddhist religions are beautifully woven into every aspect of daily life, with small temples found in almost every rice paddy, lake, mountain top and home.

                      to our lunch destination. We will also be swimming or snorkeling, and sailing in warm tropical oceanic waters.

 "BALI what a feast for body & soul! The tranquil panorama, the terrific people, the spiritual culture: all conspired to produce the best vacation Ive ever had.
   We hiked through the lush landscapes, became skilled at new yoga poses, sated ourselves on fresh foods and juices, unwound during relaxing massages, visited colorful festivals and even found time for some great shopping. Our accommodations conjoined the best of privacy and comfort. Bali was the perfect place to put Kristina Hurrells advice to the test letting go and enjoying the moment. It passed with flying colors."Liesbeth Stoeffler
