Our Lonely Planet guide informs us that Bali hosts some of the most perfect, colourful and impressive sunsets in the whole of South East Asia. The book promises breathtaking views as you sit on the beach to watch the sun go down. Considering that we had not found the majority of Bali all that impressive during our 7-day stay, we were holding out hope that this would be a winner.
Our first experience came during a
meal at a local restaurant. The waiters were desperate for us to sit upstairs, an open aired balcony, telling us that come sunset it would be all worth it, so we followed their orders. And low and behold, as the sun drifted away, the sky was filled with the most amazing colours that I've ever seen. It reminded me of the colourings of lava spewing from a volcano. Despite the meal being awful, the view was definitely worth every penny!I also found that Thailand offered some spectacular sunsets. The kinds that cannot be ruined because there is not a cloud in the sky. In this particular moment, I'm thinking of Koh Tao, situated on the east coast o
f south Thailand. Imagine...We're sat on the beach and its 7pm at night. All we can see is the ocean which goes on forever. And then the sun slowly fades away, leaving the sky a magnificent burnt orange colour, and eventually disappears into the tip of the sea. Perfect.
