trip report feb 09

Flight:

Took Lion Air to Bali, return flight was cancelled! So we had to wait till next day.

Arrival and departure timing was good though, arrived early at 8am and departs late at midnight.

Accommodation:

Stayed at Oasis Kuta for 3 nights and loved the place to bits! It鈥檚 a 3 star hotel which has a 4 star feel! Highly recommended!

Do try the Balinese massage there! It鈥檚 so good and relieves all the knots in my back! Rp 70,000

Feb 20:

Walked around in Kuta town area. Did a pedicure with nail art for Rp 55,000.

Went to kuta beach in the evening, lovely sunset.

Feb 21:

Visited the monkey forest/conservation area. Very cooling with the shade of the trees and monkeys are all around you! Interesting experience.

We went to Tanah Lot after that 鈥?go for the sunset! Very beautiful!

The sight of a temple in the middle of the sea 鈥?amazing!

Feb 22:

Did white water rafting and went to an elephant safari.

I can鈥檛 swim and was highly scared when I had to do the water rafting, so would like to assure you all that it was safe! It鈥檚 really very fun and highly recommended!

Had seafood at Jimbaran Bay for dinner! Fantastic views, coupled with fantastic seafood, highly recommended!

Feb 23:

Went to Kintamani Volcano, had lunch at a restaurant which gave fantastic views of the volcano, Mt Batur %26amp; Lake Batur.

cheers, hamster03

Thank you for your report hamster, really pleased you had a good time in Bali. Glad you enjoyed the seafood at Jimbaran as there have been some bad comments on it lately.

Will you be going back to Bali any time, do you think?

Can%26#39;t agree more about Tanah Lot, once you look past the extreme tourism there it%26#39;s a magical place. The monkeys are interesting, especially as they scamper up your back and sit on your shoulder.

Thanks for taking the time to write this.

sounds like you had a fun and busy holiday. I love the view at tanah lot. such a pretty and significant place. thanks for taking the time to write.

Many thanks for your trip report. Would you please tell us the name of the restaurant you went to at Jimbaran Bay? It might help the rest of us if and when we decide to go there. Sounds like you did quite a lot in a very short trip.

Thanks again.
