Bali is extemely photogenic, and the whole place is wonderful; especially the people. Only occasionally do you run into the monkeys, and there are warnings from people and signs. As other people have noted; try and get into the northern areas. For the tourist trade, this means everything north of Denpasar. Bali is one of those places that has learned to live with tourists in a very pleasant relationship, but the less touristy areas are still to be preferred. My wife and I will be visiting Bali again this January, and the monkeys certainly won't deter us from visiting any part. Leicas and Noblex will be used extensively. * Henning J.
