Bali is world-renowned for its spectacular sunsets. This shot was taken right outside the villa on Legian Beach.

The best night life is again only a stone's throw from Puri Indah, and tends to start late - around 11 pm.

A beginner's tour could start at either Goa 2001 or Café Luna for a spot of really excellent people watching - or on a Friday or Saturday the live music at the air-conditioned Jaya Pub - all within 50 m of each other. If you tire of this or it gets too much another 200 m or so brings you to the newly trendy Dhynapura street lined with bars and restaurants either working or failing.

Start at the A Bar, great cocktails based around Absolute Vodka - probably standing room only but again excellent people watching. The Q Bar is a new hang out for gays and the recently renovated Santa Fe is a good standby. They serve draft beer, which is not easy to find, have reasonable espresso and all hours pizza in case of a hunger attack. A good place to cruise down for a while. If you really feel the need to go for broke (we are talking 2 am now) there is always Club Double Six (66) on the way home. It's a noisy open-air disco swarming with substance abusers and prostitutes of both sexes, and yes, some good old fashioned drunks too!
