Lonely Planet Bali


The Australian government has issued a travel advisory for Bali. The island is on high alert with the impending execution of the three JI terrorists responsible for the senseless bombings in October 2002 which killed 202 people. These “holy warriors” have promised revenge if they are executed. And I think these guys really mean business.

This picture was taken at Jimbaran beach where the second Bali bombing took place in 2005. With its golden sunsets, great surf, verdant rice terraces and hospitable people, it makes one wonder how a place so idyllic can also be so dangerous.
