A Gorgeous Bali Sunset

Photo submitted by Susanto Djohan. Perhaps it's because spring is just around the corner, but sunsets in exotic locations seem to be on everyone's mind these days. Well, today we have yet another spectacular sunset for you, this one in magnificent Bali at Legian Beach. Bali has long been a favorite tropical getaway for travelers the world over. The beauty of the island's magnificent beaches works in tandem with the warm waters of the Indian ocean to provide a luxurious vacation experience like no other. A swimsuit, a bottle of sunscreen, a camera and a healthy dose of common sense are all you need to enjoy the vacation of a lifetime on Bali. The country of Indonesia is scattered over more than 18,000 islands, but Bali is special thanks to the protective coral reefs, breathtaking white sand beaches and palm trees that surround it. The island of Bali is indeed the proverbial paradise on earth, but in today's world one must be cautious even in paradise - for several reasons. If you're planning a Bali vacation, be sure to check with the U.S. Consulate for any necessary security precautions.
