Bali. Land of calm and scenic beauties.

[foadbear]

I have been planning to go to Bali since 2013, after I quit my job and turned to a web based entrepreneur.

It always eluded me, but was finally able to get it done. Got married this November and what would have been a better chance to explore Bali with my better half.

Posting some teaser pics and will post detailed travelogue in coming days.

Didn't have my password recovery phone number in Bali otherwise would have posted the same while I was in Bali.

Starbucks at LCCT KLIA2. When I moved from Bangalore to my hometown in Allahabad, Starbucks just opened in Bangalore and missed it. First time had starbucks coffee. Amazing how it gives so much choices for a coffee. Makes one feel they are in control of their life. Decaf, sugarfree, Oh yes, I am in control of my life now.

Just before Landing in Bali.

yes, there are lots of round-abouts which had statues depicting scenes from either Mahabharatha or Ramayana.

This is of Lord ram, I also saw Ghatotkach's fight scene in form of statues at one roundabout but since was on a scooter, and people in Bali follow traffic rules to the letter, couldn't get down to click.
