________________________________

Editor's Note: Last Week we zipped through the Bali Airport after arriving from Kuala Lumpur in under 15 minutes.

However, a heads-up for anyone visiting Bali soon: getting around might take a bit longer than usual.

The 10th World Water Forum is happening from May 18th to 25th, and it's expected to attract a significant crowd – between 20,000 to 30,000 people!

This will likely cause some traffic congestion, especially during peak conference hours (around 3 pm onwards).

To avoid any delays, we recommend factoring in extra travel time until the 25th.

So, buckle up for a bit more Bali time (in the best way possible) and enjoy the island! Full story with photos Click Here
