Glimpses of Kuta, Bali

Sunset over Kuta Beach
This was what I was waiting for at about 6.20pm on Friday March 20 2009. Many people local Balinese and foreigners made a bee-line each evening towards sun down to watch the sun set.
Well Elton John, You can't say "Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me".
We rather prefer you to say & sing "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?".

Matahari Bungalows


A garden resort within the heart of the town of Kuta. Many of the guest rooms faced a myriad of fruit trees, ranging from mangoes, avacadoes, star fruits, passion fruits, coconuts, as well as tropical flowers. The deluxe multi-storey rooms face an exquisite Balinese gardens as well as a landscaped swimming pool with sunken bar.
