Moments of Recovery

A rest day at our villa pool in Seminyak, Bali, with a local massage, before heading inland to Ubud for the cultural part of the trip.

After several busy days around Seminyak, with Nusa Penida and Finns behind us, we gave ourselves some time off by the villa pool. A massage from a local therapist sorted out the aches.

We had time to look back on the trip so far before heading into the island’s interior. Ubud was next, and with it the cultural side of Bali.

Good to know

  • Getting around: if you plan to ride a scooter, you need an International Driving Permit that covers motorbikes, and a helmet. A UK licence on its own isn’t enough. GOV.UK

We checked these details in October 2026. Times, prices and rules do change, so it’s worth a quick look at the official sites before you go.

See it on film

Most of our trips have a film on YouTube, from puffins on Skomer to the Drake Passage.
