Adelaide, known as Australia’s most liveable city because of its easy to get around with rolling hills to the east and beaches to the west. The city was founded in 1836. Today, Adelaide is noted for its food and wine, its long beachfronts, its many festivals and sporting events, and its large defence and manufacturing sectors.
Denpasar may not be far from the usual touristy resort areas of Bali, but the moment you transcend to the capital of Bali, a change in atmosphere is clearly felt. The laid back beach lifestyle is instantly changed to a bustling city. Not as hectic as you may think a capital city to be, and the lack of skyscrapers, due to a Balinese custom that disallows buildings to be taller than a coconut tree, gives way for blue skies. Apart from the many busy Balinese buzzing around on their scooters, many monuments and temples can be seen around the city. Catch a glimpse of the traditional markets at Pasar Badung and see the magnificent colors of fresh produce and colorful batiks up for offer.
