Had a great time on my maiden voyage to Bali. Bladdy love the place. People are so nice and they speak great English. Never once did I feel cheated.. Taxi drivers stuck to their set pricing.
Maybe i got lucky on my first visit? Are Balinese taxi drivers robbing opportunist cnts like the Thai's are in their touristy areas?
First hotel near the beach was cheap, bogantastic and a bit average but OK as a base to explore the beach area (Nusa Dua). I went for dinner and drinks at the Grand Hyatt for NYE. I might have used their pool in the afternoon as well
Ubud resort was amazing (cringe ) surrounded by jungle and rice fields and well away from the central town.
For travelling i opted to take cars and drivers instead of risking death on a motorbike.. for £30 you can hire driver for 8 hours. So many more things to see and do for my next time there. Planning my next trip there for Songkran
