Moon
Handbooks: Bali by
Bill Dalton Book Description
Best Bali Guide. I was so excited about my first
trip to Bali that I used 4 guides. By far, the
Moon Guide helped me most to understand Bali and
the Balinese. I was even able to impress the cab
drivers with my new found understanding of
Balinese religion, culture and customs. |

Bali
- Island of Grace by
Suzanne Charle & R. Ian Lloyd Book
Review
This book really grew on me. I bought it in its
first publication by Hong Kong's 'The Guidebook
Company' in 1990, along with the usual Lonely
Planet and an updated version of Bill Dalton's
extremely hefty Indonesia guide. (I first took
his book to Indonesia in '79, and his guide
continues to be invaluable to the drifting back
packer and serious off-the-beaten-tracker, but
that type of guide may be overkill for the
package traveler to Bali) |
