I gotta admit that when I first headed to Bali, I was sceptical.

As the boat parked on the shore just off Padar island, I could already appreciate why so many people praise Padar island so highly. The clarity of the turquoise water and the purity of the sand just beneath us as we were crossing the little wooden bridge to get from the boat to the island … …
