The readers of TripAdvisor recently named Bali, Indonesia as the greatest destination on Earth. That may be a bit of a stretch, but really, check out some of these Bali pictures!
This island fills a niche that few other places in Southeast Asia can compete with. The food is amazing, everything is affordable, the people are so friendly, and there’s lots to see and do.
