Sanur to Sidemen Bali, we found SERENITY.

Love your videos guys. Many Temples look unused, but in fact they're not. Every village has at least main Temples for various occasions, including funeral and cremation ceremonies. Every Clan in Bali also has a at least 1 Clan Temple at Besakih. Our own big Clan has quite a few. In addition, we have numerous large family Temples in different areas of Bali where my wife's families and ancestors originated. Some of these may only be used once or twice per year. Cheers 👍🙏🙏🙏

[@roamingRichard]

Your welcome 🙏

[@debbiehermans5175]

I love Sidemen, so beautiful.

[@roamingRichard]

We loved it ❤️

[@allanamurphy4291]

Great look around. Looking like Evil Knievel on the bike 😊

[@roamingRichard]

Thanks for watching . My bike skills are very limited 😜

[@greerstephens9585]

Absolutely will put in for the villa. Only spent a few hours in Sideman but stole my heart. Thanks for the video.

[@roamingRichard]

Your welcome Yes imagine owning that villa

[@katd65]

I did a day trip to Sideman a few years ago and loved it - I need to spend a couple of nights there...great video thank you!

[@roamingRichard]

Your welcome 🙏

[@marhar39]

Thanks, Sideman looks like such a lovely, calm place!

[@roamingRichard]

It really is!

[@truesouth4784]

Jeez, that fella riding the scooter across the bridge at 10:47 was hookin' in. He must be the local ambo.

[@roamingRichard]

Ha Ha yes they are very confident riders

[@anneashdown5539]

Thanks you two! Really enjoyed that 🙂

[@roamingRichard]

Your welcome 🙏

[@lynnegordon5286]

Great to see you venturing out and about guys. Thanks for taking us along. Heading into that area next year.....where was the traditional market at end of video?

[@roamingRichard]

Hi They are in the Main Street we just stumble across them I reckon if you get there early you would see so much more

[@idaayuaridawati8415]

Sidemen nice

[@roamingRichard]

Yes it is 👍

[@stjules66]

I had my first but not last visit to Sidemen about a month ago. I stayed next to your hotel and had a coffee there. I also sat at exactly the same tables at both the restaurants you featured! Such a beautiful peaceful place. Thanks for sharing.

[@roamingRichard]

Thanks for watching 🙏

[@julienash9470]

Looks like a great alternative to Ubud.

[@roamingRichard]

It’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy the tranquility 👍

[@troycramp1333]

Definitely a worthwhile trip. Add a half hour to that trip and you'll be able to ride up to our villa once its built, only 2 hrs from Kuta and you're already 20 mins further along

[@roamingRichard]

Great 👍

[@lindysutherland4563]

Great video 😊 We absolutely love Sidemen and have stayed at Giri carak before as well 👍

[@roamingRichard]

It is so beautiful. Just so relaxing

[@lindysutherland4563]

@@roamingRichard it certainly is. Sidemen is our favourite place in Bali to relax and escape the craziness. The scooter ride up there isn't too bad either. It takes us about 75 minutes and riding up and around the surrounding mountains is awesome 👍

[@roamingRichard]

@@lindysutherland4563 yes so true

[@carolynmckew9039]

We have stayed at Sawah Indah! Sideman is beautiful but I fear it will get overrun like Ubud in the future.😢

[@roamingRichard]

Hopefully it stays as is 🙏

[@Lindyloulou33434]

Never been to Bali but you're selling it to me! Whens the best time to visit?

[@roamingRichard]

Thanks for watching🙏 The dry season is between April and October It’s not as hot then

[@Twoaussieguys]

Hi guys, wondering how you travelled to Sideman? And what did it cost? Do you think next time you would take yourselves there by Scooter now that you have a bit more experience?

[@roamingRichard]

Hi we got a driver and it cost $35 each way . So many trucks and winding roads , so I wouldn’t be comfortable riding up

[@Lynette4227]

Thank you both for sharing your staycation with us, it looked beautiful and tranquil! It’s been great watching your videos from the day you moved over……..so lovely meeting you and chatting tonight! Cheers, Lynette and Ken

[@roamingRichard]

@@Lynette4227 hi Thanks for your continued support Yes it was great to meet you both 👍

[@steveth1000]

I have been riding big powerful motorcycles for 40 years in Australia,and I never hire a scooter in Indonesia or SE Asia. I am really scared for those who ride who have never ridden before, they are a danger to themselves and others. I like your sensible attitude and that you are going the right way about it by having lessons. I believe tourists should not be rented bikes if they don't hold a bike licence in their home countries. You will need a scooter living in Bali and it will become easier and like second nature after awhile. Have fun, fellow bikers. Remember to tick the box on your travel insurance to cover you on the scooter and get an international licence if you are a tourist.

[@roamingRichard]

@@steveth1000 great advice
