Bali, Indonesia

Bali is an Indonesian island known for its lush volcanic mountains, beaches and religious sites.  Once again hanging out on a beach at a resort is not our style, and we toured a couple of ancient temples.  As we experienced on Ko Samui, the traffic was very slow, and the drives were long allowing time to visit just two temples
