Bali, Indonesia - Insider Travel Tips ~ by Joan Drake Email your travel tips to WAVE Journey |
| WAVE JOURNEY Women's Adventures, Vacations & Experiences ~ Your Journey Starts Here! |
Just spent a fabulous
month in Bali, Indonesia,
staying at various digs.
Without a doubt the best
was at the gorgeous
Kembali villas in
Seminyak. You know the
luxurious feeling of your
own private villa, room
maid, cooked breakfast,
massages etc, couldn’t be
better.

Along the way, visited
Amed in the north.
Excellent diving onto a US
Liberty ship, and coral
snorkeling, in the placid
(lake) ocean around
Singaraja. Tried out surf-
board riding after
witnessing the magic of the
riders at Echo Beach (West
Bali) and down around
Uluwatu in the south.

The food here is just to die for and
so cheap. Apart from the beer and
locally produced spirits, the
imported brand spirits can be a bit
expensive. We started out eating
at the more established restaurants
run by European & Australian chefs
like Warisan & Sarong. Soon we
became more adventurous, trying
Indonesian “warungs”, which offer
excellent & cheap food. Fabulous
fresh seafood restaurants, serving
so cheap. Apart from the beer and

lobster and snapper, calamari, French fries, what could be better and under
$10/head.
Shopping - don't quite know where to start. Great prices for new and
antique solid teak furniture which is made here and in Java. Had clothes
copied, huge range of silks and cottons, plus leather jackets made to
measure many colours available. Heaps of silver and bead jewellery and
the most artistic homewares at many places.
We also went to the buffalo races up at Negara and along the way visited
a turtle hatchery, prawn farm and an eco-tourist resort.
Moving around: Taxis in main towns are everywhere or you can rent motor
bikes/car. For longer distances, we prefer to engage a driver with car,
around $50/day. He knows the way, can act as a guide and can carry stuff.
Getting lost can be fun but a waste of time. A new service started this
month offering GPS rental units for us adventurers.
