BALI & LOMBOK

Bali

Surf in Ulu Watu and Dreamland, scuba dive in Amed, chase dolphins in Lovina, climb Gunung Agung, play with monkeys, buy silver jewellery and paintings, and meditate in Ubud, party in Seminyak, get sunburned in Kuta, indulge in 5-star luxury in Nusa Dua, hike Gunung Batur, chill out in Padangbai, cool off at Danau Baratan, gape at the Tanah Lot tample, and indulge in ultra-green rice fields spread throughout the island.

Lombok

Bali's lesser known sister island, located just a couple hours away by ferry, is a great gateaway no metter what you are looking for Rinjani, the second of the island, Generally summited in 3 days with 2 night camping, it offers some of the most incredible vistas known to mankind. If time or energy is an issue, you can get to the crater rim on a one-day's hike and catch the same, unforgettable views. Off to the west are the Gili islands which are famous for their diving, snorkling, partying, honetmooner atmospheres and indulgent days of doing nothing - all depending on which island you choose. ( South Lombok is made up hawkerless, forever stretches of white sand beaches with emerald blue waters and rolling green hills. For those that want serenity and scculent seas, this is it. )

YOGYAKARTA

Located right smack in the middle of Java, and ignoring the fact that it offers the infamous Borobudur and Prambanan temple sites, the city offers an incridible array of cultural explorations and opportunities. Jump in a pedal-powered becak and let them wheel you around the city's suburbs and sites; practice your hand at making some batik to wear to the next wedding; take an Indonesian lenguage course so you can order more than just chicken from the menu; head to Viavia cafe on Jl. Prawirotaman where you can arrange for a bicycle tour of villages while also engaging in home industries, take a religion tour, join a jamu and massage trip or join a tea plantation-forest-erotic temple trek. Don't forget to eat the gudeg while you're there.

ACEH

The farthest most western tip of Indonesia is not only one of the most controversial, but also one of the most beautiful areas in the country. Now in the more advanced stage of Tsunami and conflict recovery, the area is safe for those that want to go scuba diving at Pulau Weh, sunbathe on incridbly white, mostly deserted beaches and swim in watercolor strokes of blue. Through www.acehadventures.com you can arrange for a boat trip up the Krueng Rabo river to see wildlife and go hiking with ex-guerillas as guides in the mountain just outside Banda Aceh.
