Bali is a living postcard, an Indonesian paradise that feels like a fantasy. The cultural landscape of the Bali province has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. This was my 3rd visit to this paradise, this time was in October, a very comfortable weather and temperature condition for travelers. Eating seafood on the beach in Jimbaran is a quintessential part of many a visitor's itinerary when coming to Bali.
