<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bali is a beautiful island surrounded by breath-taking beach. One of them is Nusadua Beach. Nusadua stands for two islands. The beach is located about 40km south of Denpasar. It houses various hotels nearby. From here, you can take speedboat to Turtle Island. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Do haggle for the right price as the boatmen there will definitely try to charge expensive fees for the tour. We managed to lower the price to about 1,000,000 IDR for Turtle Island return fee and fish feeding tour.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bali is phenomenal! If you are looking for a wonderful gateway from the hustle and bustle of a city that won't cost you much, Bali is the place to go. Excluding air flight ticket(s), it should cost you no more than MYR 2000 for a week stay there.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

Bau is located roughly 35km away from the heart of Kuching. There's two alternative route getting there. Either by Matang-Batu Kawa bypass or from 7th Mile route.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B5AFWOezpmc/TthGoZdkrGI/AAAAAAAAAdM/n3F-FZGfDXY/s1600/1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 224px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B5AFWOezpmc/TthGoZdkrGI/AAAAAAAAAdM/n3F-FZGfDXY/s400/1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5681368589771517026" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Our first stop: Fairy Cave!
