Ever since I met her as Ms. Swan on [WeddingBee](http://www.weddingbee.com/)I was just in awe of her true beauty, her strength, love, and passion for everything. I am always so thankful for everyone I meet in life and Terri, now at [Try Anything Once](https://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=tryanythingonceblog.com), gives that feeling right back. Come on a journey to **Bali** with her and her husband and experience the **honeymoon of a lifetime**.... "My honeymoon to Bali with my husband was the right combination of sun, beach and culture that we both wanted. While it takes quite awhile to get to Bali from the Northeast coast of the U.S., what you'll find in Bali are more than enough fun things to do to satisfy any kind of interest. Here are five things that I loved about our trip there": ## 1. The Price... While it takes an outlay of money to get there (flights are not cheap), [Bali](https://www.balitourismboard.org/)really can be and **affordable** **honeymoon** destination. It's not unheard of to pay about $100 for a beautifully decorated hotel room with Balinese hand crafted furniture and exotic flowers (Check out [Ubud](https://web.archive.org/web/https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/tagged/travel/p-travelguide-485560-ubud_vacations-i), Bali's Alma Shanti). Also if you are into trying new cuisines, you can eat economically at small [Balinese warungs](https://web.archive.org/web/http://latitudes.nu/the-best-of-bali%E2%80%99s-warungs.html)(local restaurants). The food is delicious (more on that below)! ## 2. The Culture... Bale Kambug (Floating Pavilion) of Taman Gili at Semarapura, Bali If there is one reason that we flew all the way to Bali, it was to experience its **culture**. Starting with its own special form of [Hinduism](http://www.newinbali.com/bali-blog/the-ten/the-ten-balinese-hindu-ceremonies), the Balinese weave their religion and arts into all aspects of life on the island. For example, the Balinese incorporate beautiful local fruit and flowers in the intricate **offerings** left to the gods at entrances to homes or businesses. ![The Culture...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/03/P1000045_415x312.jpg) A piece of tradtional Balinese art at the Neka Art Museum Much of the** artistic life** of the island is focused around **Ubud** right in the island's center (the name may also be familiar as the place where [Elizabeth Gilbert](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/)spent several months while writing her book, [Eat, Pray, Love](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/eatpraylove.htm)). You will find **stone statues**, **woodcarvings** or** colorful paintings** for sale in stalls in Ubud's central market. Make a short visit to the [Neka Art Museum](https://www.ubudhotelsnow.com/en/museumneka.html), the island's best venue for learning about the wide variety of traditional and modern Balinese art. If you prefer the **performing arts**, check out a traditional Balinese dance performance at[Pura Saraswati](https://www.flickr.com/photos/hwatson78/4579507448/in/photostream/)(Saraswati Temple) in Ubud or the [Barong Dance](http://www.inm-asiaguides.com/Bali/ebarong.htm), a ritual dance symbolizing the fight between good and evil. ## 3. The Food... ![The Food...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/03/food_412x278.jpg) A Balinese rijstaffel, a meal consisting of small dishes of various meats and veggies with rice. Bali has a wide range of dining options from small local **warungs** serving local specialties like **crispy duck**, **roasted pork** and **sate** as well as high end **restaurants** offering European and Asian cuisines in often trendy settings. If you have a chance, go to [Babi">https://www.com/bar-restaurant/966">Babi](https://web.archive.org/web/http://www.com/bar-restaurant/966) Guling Ibu Oka, a well-known local warung serving wonderful roast pig or try nasi goreng, Balinese fried rice. ## 4. Scenery... ![Scenery...](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/wedding/2011/03/P1000198_412x309.jpg) Lake Batur, Kintamini, Bali Bali is just plain beautiful. The scenery can be rather dramatic in parts of the island given the fact that there are **green mountains** and even an **active** **volcano**, [Mount Batur](http://www.tourismindonesia.com/2010/05/mount-batur-sunrise.html). There are **white sand beaches** and parts of the island resemble a **tropical rain forest**. For a good mix, stay at one of beach areas in Bali (Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Nusa Dua and Amed are the most popular with honeymooners) and an inland area like Ubud or Bedugul. ## 5. Activities... For those who love to be spend time in the ocean, **scuba diving** is a popular way of spending time in Bali. Bali is a major teaching center and many visitors come here to appreciate its gorgeous** coral reefs** and to perfect their scuba technique. If the ocean, isn't your thing, try **whitewater rafting**. One of our favorite activities was getting extremely **affordable massages** and **spa** **treatments** ($30 total for the TWO of us for massages and a special body scrub). We didn't get around to the many yoga classes we could have attended at our hotels or in many of Bali's spas. **Bali** was really a** once in a lifetime trip** for us, and we appreciated the wide range of things we could do all while having a relaxing stay and experiencing a new culture. Definitely consider it for your **honeymoon**! ## Related Posts - [classic wedding presents](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/classic-wedding-gift-ideas-you-cant-go-wrong-with/) - [theperfectwedding](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/8-tips-on-having-the-perfect-wedding/) - [yellow beach wedding dress](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/3-ways-to-celebrate-a-black-and-yellow-wedding/) - [4 Wedding Inspiration Ideas: Home Decor ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/4-wedding-inspiration-ideas-home-decor/) - [wedding cake designs ideas](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/wedding-cake-ideas-your-guests-will-love/) - [real weddings uk](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/real-wedding-a-lovely-hat-theme-wedding-in-the-uk/) - [7 Enchantingly Classy Wedding Items Youll Probably...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/enchantingly-classy-wedding-items-youll-probably-get-to-use-later/) - [loreal paris color stylo silver](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/wedding-centerpiece-ideas-that-look-amazing/) - [whimsical fall](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/great-ideas-for-a-whimsical-fall-wedding/) - [7 Tips for Buying Wedding Gifts ...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/7-tips-for-buying-wedding-gifts/) - [10 Unlikely Honeymoon Destinations That You Might ...](https://travel.allwomenstalk.com/unlikely-honeymoon-destinations-that-you-might-just-enjoy/) - [A Disney World Honeymoon: Guest Blogger Casie Shim...](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/a-disney-world-honeymoon-guest-blogger-casie-shimansky/) ## Site Information - [Main page](https://allwomenstalk.com) - [Contact us](https://allwomenstalk.com/contact.html) - [HTML article](https://wedding.allwomenstalk.com/honeymoon-of-a-lifetime-guest-blogger-terri-try-anything-once/)
