Sun and snorkeling

Bali is well known throughout the world as a paradise. While that word may be used fairly loosely, I tend to agree with this definition. It's a small island with lush vegetation, gorgeous temples, white beaches, delicious food and beautiful people. We've spent the last 24 hours lounging by the pool of a resort in Nusa Dua, a luxury beach town designed by the World Bank to keep the backpackers away. The sun beats down on our backs, we jump on the boat to go snorkeling when we please and tonight we'll be eating a fresh catch of seafood grilled over coconut husks while watching the sun retreat below the horizon. Hard to beat this paradise.
