"Ah, if you've been looking for a reason to not come to Bali, this is it."
Travel agencies describe this place as having paradise views, unique culture, and oriental cuisine. However, 33-year-old Grace Kelly has found a reason why it might be better to stay away. And it's not because of the large number of tourists, but because of spiders! She shared a terrifying video.
- Ah, if you've been looking for a reason to not come to Bali, this is it.— this is how the video posted on Facebook starts. What follows is something that, for many people, might be the incarnation of their worst nightmares.
Grace recorded the web stretching along the road while travelling between Ubud and Mount Batur, close to the border with Kintamani. Kelly decided to show viewers the large size of the spiders. For this, she placed a watch right next to a spider. The size of the spider was both terrifying and impressive.
The British traveller admitted that when she saw the wall of webs with hundreds of spiders, she asked the driver to turn back, as she couldn’t believe what she saw.
I’m absolutely terrified of spiders but I think the awe took over and I knew I wanted to capture it as it was so out of this world. Also, they were very still which made me less uneasy. I didn’t get too close. — she said in an interview with news.com.au.
Wall of webs and hundreds of spiders like in a Halloween decoration!
Grace revealed that the webs stretched for about 20 metres along the roadside. They were in front of buildings, between trees and power lines. She confessed that no amount of money would tempt her to walk through this terrifying wall.
Among the comments under Kelly's original recording was a reassuring comment from a user who had lived on the Indonesian island for seven years that these spiders only occur in the north of Bali, known as the Bangli region or Kintamani, near Mount Batur.
