Wonderful Indonesia - Bali - Part 4

Welcome back travelers.

Here are a few more tidbits on Bali.



Other tourist spots -

There are a few other tourist spots, that we could not visit on this trip.
You can have them on your list when you plan to visit -
1) Ulun Danu Beratan temple - This is the one by the lake
2) Besakih temple - one of the largest temple in Bali
3) Jimabaran Sea food dinner
4) Ubud Monkey forest and temple
5) Gilli and Lombak islands

There are many many more, so if you have sufficient time, you can explore all the other places as well.

Transporation -

Most common transportation form for tourists has to be the taxi or a motorbike.
Taxis are not that expensive, book online for best rates. We booked through Kintamani travels. They have a whatsapp number and offer competitive rates. There is always the scope of bargaining in Bali for everything.
The 8 hour taxi cost us 450,000 Indonesisa Rupiah.

Motorbikes can be rented if you have an international driver's license. otherwise, you need to get some document from the Police and then you can rent the motorbike.

Food -

Food is spicy, very tasty and cheap. The Local Indonesian cuisine is mostly rice with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. In one of the local food shop, which was bursting with international tourists, the vegetarian meal cost us as little as 18.000 Indonesian Rupiah.
Nasi Goreng is a popular dish.
Bintang is the local beer

Distances -

As Bali is a province, it takes 2-3 hrs to reach the tourist destinations from the main hotel areas. Most of the roads are narrow and give it a small city feel. The most popular area is Kuta, Legian, Sanur, Ubud, Nusa Dua.
If you search well, you can get very good Beach hotel resorts at a very reasonable rate.
We stayed partly at Prama Sanur beach Hotel and it was a wonderful stay.
